I think a good reporter has to combine sympathy and empathy — with the single-minded selfishness that powers one through traumatic situations. Here is just one paragraph where he also talks about a necessary balance:. The psychology of a good reporter includes optimal empathy. Too little resonance with the feelings of others means that much of value is missed, and that the subject soon realizes that the interviewer lacks palpable humanity — so why reveal intimate detail?
Too much empathy is wonderful in a friend or loved-one, but a curse for a professional who has to get on with life and job and simply cannot afford to accumulate burden after burden of pain. We therapists learn how to manage empathy without "compassion fatigue", vicarious trauma or burnout. The reporter and photographer and editor must also find that happy medium between too little and too much sensitivity.
Peg Achterman , a TV reporter and photographer, and then a research assistant to the Dart Center, said about a reporter who is good to work with trauma:. And sometimes — maybe there at the time of trauma. Your job is to tell people what happened — one can do this sensitively and with care.
You also need superior written, verbal and interpersonal skills to excel as a newspaper journalist. A solid ethical core characterizes a good journalist. Fairness, objectivity and honesty matter when reporting everything from local referendums and proposed state tax increases to presidential elections. Professional journalists abhor fake news based on rumor, innuendo and unverifiable anonymous tips. Reporters should only share opinions in newspaper editorial pieces.
Good journalists push themselves to dig deeper and ask tough questions. They put personal feelings aside to boldly unearth the truth about newsworthy people, places and events.
