Essa maravilha que é a internet traz mais um livro para a lista de leituras: The Great Teacher of Journalists, de Kim Jong Il.

Liz Cox Barrett, da Columbia Journalism Review, seleciona alguns conselhos que Kim Jong Il, incansável do Dear Leader, guia da revolução e editor cuidadoso, oferece aos jornalistas norte-coreanos:
For news photographers “In fixing the place of the camera, the cameraman’s first consideration should be how to take the leader’s best picture.” Also: “Press the shutter when you are sure of success.”
For TV news producers “Unlike the cinema, the TV has a small screen. Therefore, you should close up the object, and should not make it small. In particular, this is all the more so when you show men. Only then will one take interest in looking into the TV screen.”
For print reporters “An article should not be monotonous and stiff but woven with concrete facts so that the readers could read it with interest.”
And: “You seem to go into detail when collecting the materials. That’s a good thing. But you should not leave the great leader when you cover functions held in his presence. Only then will you be able to impressively cover his on-the-spot guidance, and also write good articles.”
Para você estudante de jornalismo, ou curioso com $24,50 sobrando, deixo a dica dessa obra que não li, mas que promete ser uma experiência intelectual enriquecedora.
Eu esperarei o lançamento do livro na megastore library.nu para adquirir a minha cópia eletrônica.
