新闻教育培养什么样的记者?

如果受众对新闻失去信任,记者将失去在社会文化中的核心地位。而这种信任正在被侵蚀。随着煽情主义替代了客观报道,西方民主社会的受众正在逐步悖离新闻媒介。如果西方社会的媒体要重拾大众的信任,并在新增市场中被推进,新闻业就必须在内容和形式间求得平衡,而此平衡的取得须从新闻教育内部开始。

Should Journalists be Educated to Hold Power to Account or Simply Trained to Fulfill the Requirements of the Market?

If audiences lose their trust in news then journalism will lose its place at the heart of cultural life.Already this trust is eroding.As sensationalism takes the place of reporting,audiences in the Western democracies are turning away from the news media.If trust is to be re-gained in the West,and fostered in the newly emerging markets,then journalism has to learn how to balance style with substance.That job has to start within journalism education and,if education is to have a role to play in producing journalists who see themselves as moral actors,rather than merely as mould fillers,this has to start with a project to educate the educators.
