WS 4

1	About ten thousand soldiers were seen marching up and down the hill near York.	A	Sheep magically disappeared.
2	It has been reported that Little Bo-peep cannot find her sheep. They seem to have magically disappeared. She has looked for them everywhere.	B	Rescued by heroes
3	Although the old bus stop beside a village green in Broomfield is used rarely. The only way Hannah gets to the village is by bus. But this is about to change. Council cannot afford to run a bus service.	C	School year with shorter summer holiday
4	Temperatures today will not rise above 12oC, which is below average for June. There is a possibility of rain and gusts of wind.	D	Magic Pyramid
5	Jane and Ross are heroes to 84 year old Mrs. Bennett. “They saved my life,” she said from her hospital bed.	E	No buses to or from Village Green
6	It would be good to have the school year split into four terms instead of three. The summer holiday is too long. We forget a lot during a six weeks holiday. If we had shorter summer holiday we would not need to spend so much time on revision every September.	F	Where is the Summer?
7	Dave thinks that there really is a monster living in Chelmsford. He has taken strange dark monster shapes near River Chelmer.	G	Peacock excitement
8	A Scientist has been researching pyramids. He has discovered a pyramid with a magical entrance.	H	Invasion Scare

10	A peacock has been seen flying over Peggotty close. It was reported missing from the zoo last week. It created a lot of excitement around Newlands Spring area.	J	Poisonous sprays out of fashion

What makes a good journalist?

"What makes a good journalist?

Many things. Even journalists will disagree on the order of importance of the qualities that go to make a good journalist.¹ But they are all agreed that paramount in the make-up of a journalist² is a deep and genuine interest in people - good people, bad people (who often make good news!), famous people, humble people, rich people, poor people, old people, young people, Black people, White people - people of every type - everywhere.

A person who has not this interest in other people will never make a good journalist. So. if you are not very interested in other people and think that most people are a bit of a nuisance³ and you prefer not to have anything more to do with them than is necessary,⁴ journalism is not for you.

Hand in hand⁵ with this interest in people, should go the qualities of sympathy⁶ (so that you can see the other side of an issue even if you disagree with the person who holds it), open-mindedness⁷ (so that you do not make a hasty ill-informed judgement⁸) and an inquiring mind (so that you can really get to the bottom of the thing you are asking about). Last, but certainly not least,⁹ the journalist needs to have humility. That does not mean that he goes around like a Sunday School teacher!¹⁰ But it does mean" that the man- who thinks he is a pretty clever chap¹² and does not mind the world knowing about it, will never make a good journalist. The journalist - certainly the reporter - spends most of his day talking or listening to other people, and none of us is very fond of the man who is a show-off, who thinks he knows it all.

So these are the basic qualities for a journalist, but the required qualifications are very different things.

Let us look at the qualifications a journalist needs. Obviously he must be well enough educated to be able to write fairly clearly in whatever language it is he hopes to work in.¹³ The best journalists write simple, plain, direct English, generally preferring short words to long ones.

What about the rest of the educational qualifications for a journalist? Often it is the pupil who was fairly good at five or six subjects, and not brilliant at just one, who makes the best journalist. These sort of people seem rather better balanced,¹⁴ as it were,¹⁵ for the sort of life a journalist leads - often with a nose in half a dozen things in one day - than the specialist, who was so interested in, say, biology, that he never took much interest in history, geography, literature and other subjects.

But of course, nobody can say exactly what the best qualifications for a career in journalism are. They will vary enormously, according to the individual. There are plenty of highly successful journalists who were generally at the bottom of the class when they were at school, while many a man¹⁶ with a university degree has failed to make any mark in journalism.¹⁷
