Coverage of accident, fires and disasters is a staple of news reporting, but not every individual is cut out to report this type of news. Inevitably, accident coverage equates with the coverage of human tragedy. It’s tough enough to cover an apartment fire and watch as the burnt remains of children should be removed. It’s even tougher to do it on a regular basis. That weighs heavily on even the toughest of individuals, and some otherwise terrific reporters discover that they just cannot handle continued exposure to tragedy. In most cases of this sort, it is helpful to remember that there’s nothing you can do to help. Police and fire officials are trained in rescue and disaster-relief efforts; almost certainly, you are not.
On rare occasions, however, the reporter can become a part of the story. Does the newspaper photographer try to stop a woman, from jumping off a bridge to her death or does he photograph the plunge? You are told by your editors, quite appropriately, not to become part of the story. On the other hand, isn’t the saving of a life more important? Such incidents place the reporter or photographer in an ethical dilemma. But even if this type of coverage is not your style, there’s a good chance that sooner or later you will have to do it.
When that occurs, think clearly and set aside your emotions. Keen in mind that you have a duty to your readers, listeners or viewers to keep them informed. There is good reason for media interest in such events. For many years, surveys of news consumers have shown that accidents, fires and disasters rank with crime and government news near the top of items of reader interest. Those studies confirm what editors know spontaneously:
The job of the news media is to get information to the public as quickly and accurately as possible. The media also cover these events in their capacity as watchdog for the public over government agencies. In the police are slow in responding to an accident, is it because there are not enough officers or because they are poorly supervised? To ask questions like this on behalf of the public, reporters must observe public officials as they perform their duties. [br] According to the author, an inexperienced reporter, when assigned to cover an accident, is likely to ______.
选项
A、feel happy to accept the job
B、overlook important part of the story
C、get involved in the accident
D、feel no sympathy for the victim
答案
C
解析
由题干中的assigned to cover an accident定位到第一段第五、六句:最好记住你帮不了什么忙,警察和消防员在营救方面受过专业的训练,而你没有,不要成为故事中的主角。这些话含有警告和建议的意思,所以可推断C)是答案。
