I went to my friend's home party in this evening. I met some experienced journalists there. Some of them stayed in China, Korea, Russia, and so on. They introduced stories on meeting authorities. I enjoyed the conversation, then one friend asked a question. Why the business newspaper put some articles on companies' revenue or profit with prediction? She said those articles were related to "insider dealing". I said writing articles were generally based on interviews and not committed to crimes like insider dealing. Of course, when journalists get information, then purchase some shares of the company which has a strong relationship with the matter, this is a crime. When I try to write about companies' revenue, people tend to refuse. Is it a crime to get scoops on companies? Do we need to wait for announcement from companies?
She kept saying business journalists behaviour should be changed at the home party. Her comments stimulated my pride on my job. I said "I do not want to fight with you anymore and I believe your comments are not right".
On my way to my home, I was thinking of my behaviour and the nature of my job. News sometimes make the stock markets volatile, but journalists should not hesitate to write news.
This is my relief.
