- Ấn phẩmEthical Attitudes and Perceived Practice: A Comparative Study of Journalists in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan(Taylor & Francis, 2005) Ven-hwei Lo; Joseph Man Chan; Zhongdang PanThis is a comparative survey study of journalists’ attitudes and perceptions concerning various types of conflicts of interest in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Journalists in all three regions are found to be receptive to freebies in the form of small gifts, meals and trips. However, they almost unanimously agree that monetary benefits from news sources are unacceptable. Compared with freebies, moonlighting seems to be a less serious problem in the three regions. Most journalists think that their colleagues do not commonly practice moonlighting. The journalists strongly agree that they should not solicit advertising on behalf of their employer or work for public relations firms or the government as a second job. With regard to self-censorship, journalists in the three regions unanimously agreed that softening negative coverage of key advertisers was unethical. However, there was considerable disagreement about softening negative coverage of government. The results also show that there is in general a discrepancy between the journalists’ value orientations and perceived reality, especially in Mainland China and Taiwan.
- Ấn phẩmThe influence of personality traits on journalists’ work behaviour: An exploratory study examining a Bangladeshi sample(Taylor & Francis, 2005) A. M. Zakaria KhanFollowing on from Henningham’s inquiry into the personality of journalists, an attempt is made here to provide a wider theoretical platform for analysis of news people’s characteristic tendencies along the lines of their unusual occupational activities. This study, which uses only Bangladeshi samples, also aims at broadening the domain for psychology based research more closely related to the actual performance of journalists with a view to putting forward this particular issue to the cross-cultural arena. Eysenck’s test of three personality dimensions was applied to a sample of 100 journalists from various media organizations in Bangladesh. The personality trait of extraversion was significantly related to engaging strongly with news sources. Neuroticism, another dimension of personality, was found to be significantly related to feelings of discomfort in noisy newsrooms and agonizing about errors. Neuroticism was also related to news-missing apprehension and being worried of deadline pressure. Implications of these findings for journalism and the newsroom environment are discussed.
