32 Journalists apply to statistical information the attention and skepticism that they routinely apply to other aspects of their work. To do this they need to understand arithmetical and common statistical functions and polling and other surveying principles, methods and interpretations. Writing skills • An ability to write accurately, clearly, correctly, concisely and engagingly, in journalism story forms, with attention to subject matter and intended audience, always making clear the source of a disputable item of information, idea or direct or indirect quotation. • All beginning journalists are able to write news and feature stories, using narrative, descriptive and explanatory methods. Journalists with more training or experience are able to write analytical and interpretive stories and longer-form narrative and documentary stories. Journalists writing for opinion pages or segments of broadcast programs are able to write essays, columns and editorials. • Writing skills include recognizing and writing a lead paragraph or introduction that is central to the story and engages the reader/listener/viewer; structuring the story in ways that serve the narrative purpose but are clear and true to the story; setting up quotations; using transitions; including background and context without obstructing narrative flow; wherever possible showing, rather than telling, what happened; wherever possible using the active voice; and always making clear the source of a disputable item of information, idea or direct or indirect quotation. • Broadcast journalists know how to write for the voice and sound and to pictures, how to establish the focus of a story, how to introduce taped segments and standups, and how to speak clearly, fluently and engagingly to an audience using correct conversational language. Skilled use of the tools of journalism in editing, designing, and producing material, for print, broadcast and online media, with an understanding of and ability to adapt to convergence and technological developments in journalism. • Beginning journalists have accurate, efficient keyboarding skills and are competent in a full-range of Internet competencies, including the ability to judge and check the authenticity, accuracy, and reliability of information available on the Web. • Convergence and multimedia developments require journalist to be familiar with journalism tools in all media and to be able to move easily among different media, as
33 well as having mastered the tools of at least one of the major media. • Journalists in all media should know how to operate both Macintosh and Windows desktop and laptop computers, use word processing and picture editing programs, and create a simple data base. Print journalists should know how to operate film and/or digital cameras and darkroom and/or computerized picture processing and editing programs and page production programs. Radio journalists should know how to use a tape recorder and/or mini-disc recorder, omni-directional microphone, and how to use audio editing and production equipment and software. Television journalists should know how to use video cameras, microphones and video editing equipment. Online journalists should know how to use Web page production programs and content management systems and digital cameras and picture editing programs. Familiarity with present and past examples of best practice in journalism in one’s own country and the world. Journalists seek inspiration from examples of the best journalism in all news media, in present and past times, in their own country and internationally. An understanding of journalism ethics, including the rights and responsibilities of the journalist. Journalists are aware of ethical considerations in making choices and decisions in their work. These considerations may or may not be enshrined in professional codes of conduct. Such codes, written or unwritten, are important to journalists if journalists (rather than the state or other authorities) have developed them. Ethical considerations, however, should be founded in the journalist’s own moral philosophy and in an understanding of the rights and responsibilities of the journalist derived from an awareness of the role of journalism in a democracy and of the need to be accurate, fair and balanced in reporting and writing. Workplace competencies. Journalists have the ability to work on deadline, and to work on their own or in teams, within news media organizations and as freelancers. B. Journalism and society • A knowledge of the role of journalism in society, including its role in developing and securing democracy. • An ability to reflect on developments within journalism. • An understanding of how information is collected and managed by political, commercial and other organizations. • An awareness of the international flow of information and its effects on one’s own
