这是新华日报两位记者写给编辑部的一封信。感情真挚,见解正确,值得一读。在我们的记者工作中,经常有人将初步了解的情况向编辑部汇报。研究确定了很理想的报道线索和题目。但经深入调查、或补充采访,发现原来了解的事实有了重大出入。对于这种情况,是遵照实事求是的原则果断地撤销原定的题目,还是强调这样那样的原因勉勉强强地做文章呢?谢承进、姜圣瑜同志坚持了前者,这是正确的态度。希大家都来发扬这种优良作风。 This is a letter from Xinhua Daily’s two reporters to the editorial department. Feelings are sincere, opinion is correct, it is worth reading. In our journalists’ work, we often report to the editorial department about what we know firsthand. Research has determined the ideal clues and topics covered. However, after thorough investigation or supplementary interviewing, we found that there was a significant discrepancy between the original facts. In this case, is it a correct attitude to resolutely withdraw the original title according to the principle of seeking truth from facts or to emphasize such reasons for reluctance to make an effort? Comrade Xie Chengjin and Jiang Shengyu adhered to the former. This is a correct attitude. We all want to promote this fine style.
