Zhou Yijun, Xinhua News Agency Some of my male competitors might have been very capable, but nobody had a passion stronger than mine. ; 3. Lin Gu, China Features The question is how to be professional, how to be fair to your interviewees, how to make balanced reports, how to convey different voices and different sides.4. Gong Wen, People's Daily Compared to other jobs, a journalist's work is always fresh, as the sun is new every day.; 5. Tan Hongkai, China Daily We do not represent ourselves as a mouthpiece-other media may have that concept, but not us.; 6. Jin Yongquan, China Youth News if you are not allowed to speak, you can stay silent, or laugh. But you shouldn't tell lies.; Part II: Into the Fray ; 7. LiYang, China Newsweek Why do we go after news? Because the news is there.8. Liu Jianqiang, Southern Weekend If you have ideals, you'll be happy in journalism.

Zhang Xuguang, China Sports News Sports reporting can be about very small things; a story that provides something practical and beneficial doesn't have to be of great significance. ; 14. Ma Yin, Titan News To many athletes, journalists are a headache because they ask meaningless questions and intrude on their lives.Part IV: Over the Air; 15.

Ai Da, Beijing Television Sometimes I'll feel good about my work, and it gets trashed.; 17.
