Reporting, like politics, is the art of the possible. The complete ideality will end up beating his or her head against the rock hard wall of real-life. Experienced reporters learn that is sometimes better to settle for a half-loaf, rather than to strive for the unattainable full loaf of self-expression and freedom to write as they please. Reporters do not function in isolation. They form part of the transmission belt, which carries information to the different parts of society. One of the hardest things young reporters have to learn is that at least to some extent they must tell their stories by the rules of those in power. The reporter's job is to recount as accurately as possible the shared realities of his or her society or culture. Social control constantly helps shape what the reporter writes. Our political systems, our spiritual beliefs and our interpretations of what reality is all help us shape the tales we tell. This book discusses vital yet crucial points relating with reporting. The journalist community in general and reporters in particular will find this book most useful and informative.
