一对危害和暴露等灾难,记者应该了解什么?在波士顿担任电视台记者的那些年,我报道过的各种灾害连绵不断:从车祸、火灾、犯罪、飞机爆炸等熟悉的威胁到人造甜味剂、保险气囊、硅胶乳房移植,再到绑架儿童“新”潮流和令人沮丧的形形色色环境危害。我努力做好记者工作,也曾获得过一些奖励。后来我离开电视台新闻部,进入哈佛大学公共卫生学院工作,发现了有关风险的很多细节。如果我做记者的时候了解这些东西,本来可以把报道做得更好的。 What should journalists know about a catastrophe of harm and exposure? In the years Boston was television reporter, the various disasters I reported were continuous: from familiar threats such as car accidents, fires, crime, aircraft explosions to artificial sweeteners , Insurance balloons, silicone breast implants, and then kidnapping to “new” trends and frustrating environmental hazards of all kinds. I tried my best to work as a journalist and also won some rewards. Later I left the Department of Public Information of the TV station to work at the Harvard School of Public Health and found many details about the risks. If I knew these things when I was a reporter, I could have done a better job of reporting.
