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] The author thinks that a reporter’s duty on the scene of an accident is to ______.
选项
A、stand by and be an observer
B、save the life of victims
C、feel reluctant to accept the job
D、set aside his human sympathy
答案
A
解析
由题干中的duty定位到文章第三段的前两句:当此类事情发生时要保持清醒,将自己的感情放在一边,记住你有责任让你的读者、听众或观众得到信息,可推测记者不应插手,而是要如实地报道。 set aside“将…放在一边”和stand by“袖手旁观”是同义转述。B)和文章意思相反;C)和题干中的duty无关;D)范围太小,human sympathy只是emotion中的一种。
