- A good journalist should put more effort into bringing new faces, voices, and new issues. During our training, we were told that when you play a lot of music that means you don’t have something new to offer.
- a good journalist needs to put in the effort. It is not easy to get information. But as a journalist, one should be selective in his materials.
