Catatan: sebuah resolusi yang menarik bagi kalangan jurnalis, wartawan yang sehari-hari bekerja dengan media. Jangan sampai berita itu menjadi informasi sampah yang tak bermanfaat dan membuat para pemirsa, pembaca atau pendengar malah bingung.
1. I will not approach any story or assignment as routine. If I write or edit routinely, I will be average. I will not be average.
2. I will do my part daily to give the news report pizazz. I will not allow my stories to contribute grayness or dullness.
3. I will not, approach any story with a preconceived notion.
4. I will do something this about long stories. As a reporter, I will not dump my notebook into the computer. As an editor, I will not give the reader long stories simply because it’s always been done that way.
5. I will spend more time listening. Wisdom does not begin and end with me. Valuable ideas and insights are available to those who master the art of listening intelligently.
6. I will interview everyone. Reporters and editors who know how to ask the right questions help themselves and their news products. Everyone is a news source.
7. I will continue to ask why. This is the least asked and the least answered question in most news stories. Readers and viewers want to know.
8. I will remember and protect First Amendment freedoms everywhere I go. I will do my part to see that all laws relating to the people’s right to know are enforced. I will resist efforts to compromise these laws out of convenience or chuminess.
9. I will get to know my readers or viewers better. I will read and study surveys that explain my community. I will spend time with people outside my usual sphere of associates.
10. I will read my newspaper thoroughly every day. I will read beyond my own stories to be informed about my community and to show my interest in the work of my colleagues. We’re all in this together.
11. Overall, I will read more: More newspapers, more magazines, more books. I will pay attention to style and ideas.
