| Dear Sir Ijust want to elaborate onmy earlier comment about media ethics and codes unscientififically and informally A reporter must be like{in fact they are}a cop in the furtherance of their duties{fearless} and this is what is lacking inour journalists. Those interviewing techniques which they should have beenequipped with during their training must come-out strongly so that they are not accused of favouritism or masquerading as the spokesman of their subjects. Chris Barron is showing the way to what interviewing techniques are by getting answers evenfrom those who think they`re untouchable. Just as a cop is required to be patriotic a reporter is required to be a reporter first and foremost and then something else later. What aneditor told me couple of yearsago that yes we`re givingour readers piecemeal news because if we are gonna be investigative you won`t afford the paper since we will bring-inbinvestigative season reporters and we will have to pay themmarket related salariesand that will meanour readers won`t be paying R2.50 anymore for their daily but R10-R15and this was wrong since they should have researhed reader demograhies. |
