一人一故事

A good frd of mine gave me this book back in Oct when I went back to HK. It consisted of about 140 true stories from 140 reporters. A pretty gd read right before bed cos you can read a couple of them at a time. Finished it recently. Kinda liked it. Some of the stories were just whatever but some of them were quite touching/inspiring. An interesting view of stories from the reporter’s side and a peek to the life of media workers.

But then, I think that the authors of this book came mainly from the pool of the older generations and reporters with gd ethic value. And therefore, the book seems quite ‘grand’ in a way about how these ppl dealt with different situations. But in reality, there’re sure a lot more ‘bad’ reporters out there simply trying to make a living instead of having those idealistic moral value about what news’ values are and such. But at least, this book offers what ‘the spirit of news’ _should_ be.
