Thuthangca Le Thuthang



       Thuthangca Le Thuthang


  
“What is news? It is the honest and just and complete story of events of interest and concern to the public.”
Duane Bradley, The Newspaper: Its Place In a Democracy

Kan ttong ih suak mi Journal, thuthangca, mekazin, news ngannak facebook group, website le facebook fan page tivek a tam vivo. Curuangah thuthang pakhat ih umtudan thuhla lam tla hi mallai tal kan theihcio a ttha ding a bang.

Thuthang timi cu ziang a si? “Thuthang timi cu lunglutza thilthleng asilole mipi thawi’ a pehpar aw mi thuhla kha tlaitluang le kimcangtei’ thansuahmi khi a si.” (News is an honest and complete report of events of interest or concern to the public). Cumi hnakih theih ttul luar sin pakhat a um: Thuthang cun thuhla tlukternak (tthenfelnak) a tuah lo (News does not make judgements) (Duane Bradley, The Newspaper: Its Place in a Democracry, What is News……….p. 45).

Thuthang a si le si lo hman theihtheih nawn lo khop ih mai hmuhdan rak ngan ve maimai tivek hi thuthangca khawvel ti borhbahtu a si. Kan ttong ih suak mi thuthang tthenkhat ah hmuh ding a um tam thei nasa. Hivek hi bansan a ttha. Thuthang palai pawl ih zah-umnak hlotertu khal a si. Thuthang famkim lo a um thei, zamran tuk thilthu tivek le a phunphun ah. Thuthang ngah sual pang khal a um thei,….asinan ciamciamtei’ theih mi rori mai’ hmuhdan belhsah ciamco ih thuthang ngan tivek hi thuthang palai ttha pakhat ih thil tidan a si lo.

Thuthang timi le Journal cahram timi tla hi an bang aw lo. Thuthang timi cun mibulpak siseh, mi burhlawm siseh ttan hleice mi tivek a nei ding a si lo. (News should not be written to serve any special interests, groups or individuals..p.37). Himi hi thil harsa zet cu a si ve. Mi tampi cun thuthang cu a tlaitluang ding, a khimkhuah ding, a dikdawh dingih, theihthiam a ol ding tiin an beisei. (News is supposed to be honest, careful, exact and easy to understand…….p.37).

Thuthangca pakhat in thil pakhat ih khatlam kap lawng a thansuah asilole mipi hmuahhmuah lungkim thei lo dingmi hmuhdan pakhat lawng a peksuah asile a ti sual a si (It is wrong for a newspaper to report on only one part of something, or to give only one opinion on something about which people do not all agree…….p. 37).

Cuvek ih khatlam lawng rel tahrat ih thansuahmi thuthang cu Slanted News tiah an ko. Slanted News timi hi thil phunphun ruangih um theimi a si. Asinan tumhrimnak ruangih um a tam zet ve. Mai langhnganter duhmi lam hlir ngan hi thil harsa ciamco a si lo rual in mipi thinlung ah hmuhdan sual khal, harsa ciamco lo in, a thlenter ve. Thuthangca pakhat cun tumhrimnak thawn thuhla pakhat ih kap khatlam lawng a tarlang tikah, mipi hnenah thilthleng rero lai pawl ih zuk kha buk-awton le fiangfim zetih peksuah ding timi ruahnak kha a siatsuah (When a newspaper purposely presents only one side of a story, it defeats the idea of giving the public a plain and balanced picture of current events…p.39).

Thuthangca ttha pakhat ngan ding hi a olsam lo rual in a man khal a khung; thil a ti thei. Thuthangca ttha pakhat ahcun casiartu a hiplut theitu thuthang le, mipi hrangih a tthabikmi thil a pahnih in a tel ding (A good newspaper will include both information that is of interest to the reader, and what is best for the public good…..p.30).

Thusuhnak tin ih kaphnih huapngahtu thuthang thansuah hi a har sin rual in a thupi sin fawn. Editor pakhat cun ruahnak thacak zet le zumnak thacak zet a nei tla a si thei. A cennak khawpi hrangih ttha a timi daan cu a dikmi a si ti a theifiang tla a si thei. Amah thawi’ ruahdan bang aw lo tu cu mi-aa a si ti’n a ruat tla a si thei. Sihmansehla, amah thawi’ hmuhdan rual aw lo pawl ih hmuhdan khal thansuah cih ding cu casiartupawl parih a ttuanvo a si. Editor ttha pakhat a si ahcun, amai’ bulpak ruahdan cu a thuthangca ih editorial cahmai lawngah langter ding a si ih, thuthang thansuahnak cahmaipawl ah a telh ding a si lo ti cu a thei fiang ding. Thuthang a thansuahdan kalhmang ihsin mipipawl kha amai’ hmuhdanpawl a hliahkhuhter ding a si lo. (Reporting both sides of every question is more difficult and equally important. An editor may have very strong ideas and beliefs. He may be sure that his opinion about whether a law is good for his town is the correct opinion. He may think that anyone who does not agree with him is a fool. However, he owes it to his readers to print the opinions of the people who do not agree with him. If he is a good editor, he will be sure that his personal opinions appear only on the editorial page of his newspaper and not as part of the regular news reports. He should not allow his opinions to influence the manner in which the news is reported….p. 21-22).
