Columbia University emeritus journalism professor Melvin Mencher &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;claims&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #0000ff"&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;O&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;bjectivity (&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;why capitalize it?) &lt;/FONT&gt;should avoid bias and sensationalism or presenting impartial information&lt;/FONT&gt;. Fairness is&amp;nbsp; advocated by John V. Pavlik. He believes fair reporting should provide 'balanced coverage reflecting all sides of an issue.â (John V. Pavlik,2001:93)&amp;nbsp; I He also believes accurate reporting&amp;nbsp;should be about "getting the facts right and representing a story completely". (John V. Pavlik,2001:93) &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=æ°ç´°æé«&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The local reporters are far from being objective; in fact, they often create sensational stories. Kelly Chan, a famous star in Hong Kong, said the media are exaggerating that she and music mogul&lt;U&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt; Joey Yung&lt;U&gt;,&lt;/U&gt; clashed over her upcoming CD.&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;The newspaper&amp;nbsp; (Which newspaper?)&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;reported that &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Joey Yung&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;hated&lt;STRONG&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;n&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; songs on her third album&lt;STRONG&gt;,&lt;/STRONG&gt; but Kelly, who called the disc "really cool" and versatile, said artist-label disagreement can be healthy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRIKE&gt;The situation is worsening.&lt;/STRIKE&gt;&lt;STRIKE&gt; (&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;how&lt;/FONT&gt;?) (&lt;/STRIKE&gt;&lt;STRIKE&gt;Explain how this story is considered "sensational".&lt;/STRIKE&gt;) As Kelly Chan&amp;nbsp; said,â You know what it is - this situation is just blown up.â This practice is eroding the public's faith in the media.&lt;B&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=æ°ç´°æé«&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fairness is also an important standard that should be take notice of. Nevertheless, Sunny Wong had expressed his voice in South China Morning Post. He said,â I am worried, however, about our media, which seem to be selective about the facts they reportâ (Sunny Wong,South China Morning Post,EDT16, EDT, Letters) He claimed former chief executive Tung Chee-wah had been awarded an honorary degree&amp;nbsp;at the graduation ceremony held by&amp;nbsp;Hong Kong University of Science and Technology . A small group of students booed as the degree was conferred. He believed the applause largely had drowned out the booing. But all&amp;nbsp; the press reported the next day was the booing. &lt;/FONT&gt;Obviously journalists have taken sides. Distortion of reality in news coverage is inconsistent with the principle of fairness. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=æ°ç´°æé«&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The reporter should collect facts from as many reliable sources as possible. An event may be reported as a fact if there are two or more independent eyewitnesses to it. However, unverified news is often published. A survey conducted by Hong Kong University has shown that 68 percent of Hong Kong&amp;nbsp;people believed Hong Kong newspapers are abusing the freedom of the press and that the media is irresponsible.&amp;nbsp; Most Hong Kong people think Hong Kong newspapers&amp;nbsp;have reported unverified news.&amp;nbsp; The facts of the stories are not right and the stories are not represented completely. This statistic shows Hong Kong newspapers are not accurate in the hearts of most of Hong Kong people. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=æ°ç´°æé«&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Some people argue that some newspapers such as Mingpao, Singtao and Ta Kung Pao are famous for impartial writing. However, this is no longer the case. Mingpao was criticized for giving an incorrect account of an incident &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;involving &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Independent Commission Against Corruption&amp;nbsp;in March,2007.&amp;nbsp; &lt;FONT color=#000080&gt;Mingpao reported that&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;ICAC had applied&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;for &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;a search&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;warrent&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;(spelling) &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;from court after it &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;cannot&lt;/FONT&gt; (tense) &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;get the &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;news material&lt;/FONT&gt; (&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;be specific: what material?&lt;/FONT&gt;) from the newpaper office&lt;/FONT&gt;. &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;But ICAC&amp;nbsp; insisted that&amp;nbsp;it was not&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;true&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;. &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;In fact, t&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;hey had not applied &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;for a &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;search &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;warrent (spelling)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;Moreover, some scholars said Singtao had concealed the real motive of the incidents (What incidents?). &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;w&lt;/FONT&gt;e no longer see any objective articles these days.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=æ°ç´°æé«&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; To conclude, I believe Hong Kong Newspapers are misleading people.

Columbia University emeritus journalism professor Melvin Mencher claims &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Objectivity should avoid bias and sensationalism or presenting impartial information (Please quote.)&lt;/FONT&gt;. Fairness is&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRIKE&gt; &lt;/STRIKE&gt;advocated by John V. Pavlik. He &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;believes fair reporting &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;should provide &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;'&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;balanced coverage reflecting all sides of an issue.â (John V. Pavlik,2001:93)&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRIKE&gt;I&lt;/STRIKE&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;He also believes accurate reporting&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;should be about "&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;getting the facts right and representing a story completely". (John V. Pavlik,2001:93) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The local &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;reporters are far from being objective; in fact, they &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;often &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;create &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;sensational stories&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;. Kelly Chan(&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;last name?)&lt;/FONT&gt;, a famous star in Hong Kong, said the media are exaggerating &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;CD selling reports t&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;hat she and music mogul&amp;nbsp; Joey Yung clashed over her upcoming CD&lt;/FONT&gt;(what do you want to say?)&lt;/FONT&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;It&amp;nbsp; reported that Davis hates songs on her third album, but Clarkson, who called the disc "really cool" and versatile, said artist-label disagreement can be healthy.&amp;nbsp;The situation is worsening. As&amp;nbsp;Kelly Chan&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp; said,â You know what it is - this situation is just blown up.â&lt;STRONG&gt;(&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;U&gt;Give a full account of the story here. I don't know anything about this.&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;) T&lt;/STRONG&gt;his practice is eroding the public's faith in the media.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fairness is also an important standard that should be take notice of. Nevertheless, Sunny Wong had expressed his voice in South China Morning Post. He said,â I am worried, however, about our media, which seem to be selective about the facts they reportâ (Sunny Wong,South China Morning Post,EDT16, EDT, Letters) He claimed former chief executive Tung Chee-wah had &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;been &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;awarded an honorary degree&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;at the graduation ceremony held by&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;Hong Kong University of Science and Technology . A small group of students booed as the degree was conferred. He believed the applause largely had drowned out the booing. But all&amp;nbsp; the press reported the next day was the booing. Obviously journalists &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;have taken &lt;/FONT&gt;sides. &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Distortion of reality of the stories is inconsistent with the fairness. (This paragraph should be about fairness, not objectivity.&amp;nbsp; You need to tie your example to the concept of fairness.)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The reporter should collect facts from as many reliable sources as possible. An event may be reported as a fact if there are two or more independent eyewitnesses to it.&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;However, &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;unverified news is often published. A survey conducted by Hong Kong University has shown that 68 percent &lt;STRONG&gt;of&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;Hong Kong&amp;nbsp;people believed Hong Kong newspapers are abusing the freedom of the press and that the media is irresponsible.&amp;nbsp; Most Hong Kong people think Hong Kong newspapers&amp;nbsp;have reported&lt;STRONG&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;unverified news.&amp;nbsp; The facts of the stories are not right and the stories are not represented completely. This statistic shows Hong Kong newspapers are not accurate in the hearts of most of Hong Kong people. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Some people argue that some newspapers such as Mingpao, Singtao and Ta Kung Pao are famous for impartial writing. However, this is no longer &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;the case&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;. Mingpao was criticized for giving an incorrect account &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;of an incident carried out by &lt;/FONT&gt;Independent Commission Against Corruption&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;in&lt;/FONT&gt; March,2007&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Mingpao reported that ICAC had applied the a search warrent from court after it cannot get the news material from the newpaper office. But ICAC&amp;nbsp;insisted that&amp;nbsp;it was not turth&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;(What incident? Elaborate.) &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;Moreover, some scholars said Singtao had concealed the real motive &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;of the incidents now&lt;/FONT&gt;. we no longer see any objective articles &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;these days.&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; To conclude, I believe Hong Kong Newspapers are misleading people. They cannot &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;meet &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;the standards &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;of &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;objectivity, fairness, and accuracy. Journalism is about reporting as it is. &amp;nbsp;It is just&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;unethical &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;for &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;newspapers&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; (&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;only one&lt;/FONT&gt;?) to mislead people. If the approach of printing incorrect stories is allowed &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;to &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;proliferate&lt;STRIKE&gt;d&lt;/STRIKE&gt;, journalism will eventually go down the path of tabloid journalism.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please help me proof it~thanks</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseHelpMeProofItThanks/2/zdmhw/Post.htm#435939</link><pubDate>Sun, 28 Oct 2007 12:49:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:435939</guid><dc:creator>julielai</dc:creator><slash:comments>9</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseHelpMeProofItThanks/2/zdmhw/Post.htm#435939</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-435939.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;You need to fix the parts in red.&lt;/P&gt;

I hope someone can proof it. Thanks!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newspaper journalism today is quite different from what it was ten or twenty years ago. Instead of objective stories with detailed analyses, we now see stories full of exaggerations. In this essay I will first of all point out three standards of being a responsible press, and then show the incorrect stories and consider the arguments of some so-called impartial stories. I shall conclude by arguing that Hong Kong newspapers mislead people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are three standards define how an ethical press is - objectivity, fairness, and accuracy. Columbia University emeritus journalism professor Melvin Mencher claims Objectivity should avoid bias and sensationalism or presenting impartial information. Fairness is also advocated by John V. Pavlik. He says,â fairness, that is, providing balanced coverage reflecting all sides of an issue.â (John V. Pavlik,2001:93)&amp;nbsp; It is clearly that accuracy is a must. As John V. Pavlik says,â accuracy, that is, getting the facts right and representing a story completely. (John V. Pavlik,2001:93) these three standards.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the following, there are examples and statistic. They can prove Hong Kong newspapers can not fulfil the above standards and therefore, Hong Kong Journalism is misleading people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It is dismayed that the propensity of the local media to create sensation and stir up sentiment. Kelly, a famous star in Hong Kong, said the media are exaggerating CD selliong reports. She even said,â You know what it is - this situation is just blown up.â This example shows&amp;nbsp; Hong Kong journalism have gone in their unscrupulous use of strategies designed to satisfy the publicâs desire for sensationalism. It is regret that this practice is eroding the public's faith in the media.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fairness is also an important standard that it should be complied with. Nevertheless, Sunny Wong had expressed his voice in South China Morning Post. He said,â I am worried, however, about our media, which seem to be selective about the facts they reportâ (Sunny Wong,South China Morning Post,EDT16, EDT, Letters) He claimed former chief executive Tung Chee-wah had awarded an honorary degree in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ceremony. A small group of students booed as the degree was conferred. He believed the applause largely had drowned out the booing. But all that the press reported the next day was the booing. Obviously journalists have taken sides. Distortion of reality of the stories is inconsistent with the objectivity.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Accuracy is something that the reporter should collect facts from as many reliable sources as possible. An event may be reported as a fact if there are two or more independent eyewitnesses to it. It is unlucky that unverified news is often published. A survey conducted by Hong Kong University has shown that 71 percent of Hong Kong people are satisfied with the degree of&amp;nbsp;press freedom. However, 68 percent &lt;STRONG&gt;of&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;Hong Kong&amp;nbsp;people believed Hong Kong newspapers are abusing the freedom of the press and it is believed that the media is irresponsible.&amp;nbsp; Most Hong Kong people think Hong Kong newspapers&amp;nbsp;have reported&lt;STRONG&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;unverified news.&amp;nbsp; The facts of the stories are not right and the stories are not represented completely. This statistic shows Hong Kong newspapers are not accurate in the hearts of most of Hong Kong people. It is no doubt that journalism is misleading people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Some people argue that some newspapers such as Mingpao, Singtao and Ta Kung Pao are famous for impartial writing. However, this good name is no longer suitable for use. Mingpao was criticized for giving an incorrect account of incident by Independent Commission Against Corruption on March,2007. Moreover, some scholars said Singtao had concealed the real motive of the incidents now. It seems that we no longer see any objective articles in the near future.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; To conclude, I believe Hong Kong Newspapers are misleading people. They cannot fulfil the standards â objectivity, fairness, and accuracy. Journalism is about reporting as it is. &amp;nbsp;It is just immoral and inhumane for newspaper to mislead people. If the approach of printing incorrect stories is allowed proliferated, journalism will eventually go down the path of tabloid journalism.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please help me proof it~thanks</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseHelpMeProofItThanks/zdlpj/post.htm#435787</link><pubDate>Sun, 28 Oct 2007 04:50:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:435787</guid><dc:creator>julielai</dc:creator><slash:comments>6</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseHelpMeProofItThanks/zdlpj/post.htm#435787</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-435787.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Grammatically, much better.&amp;nbsp; (Why do you capitalize &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;n&lt;/FONT&gt;ewspapers?)&lt;/P&gt;
