Quotes
edit- Radio is an important tool in the lives of human beings because it depends on the knowledge of human beings. It gives us a chance to listen to songs, stories. It gives us a chance to share opinions and a space to talk about life around us.
- we need to respect their opinion. This will depend on the journalist. The radio is only a transmitter that takes us from one place to another. So if a journalist doesn’t present the information in a good way, the information will not be received well by our listeners.
- A true journalist does present the information and keeps in his mind that the listeners also have their opinion. They should be considered when you want to present any piece of information on the radio. A journalist that doesn’t succeed is the one who always assumes that he is right.
- if you don’t have a planned program, you will just play a program at any time, left and right. And this is the reason why some listeners hate certain journalists.
- 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.
