Passage - IV

Journalism combines writing with news gathering and interpretation. While the journalist's work obviously varies from newspaper to newspaper and from magazine to magazine, all journalism are as much research, workers, as they are writers. They cannot write their news or feature stories, unless they locate it and research them first. They must be able to read the in-between lines of the main source-news and interpret that. A great many stories hunt the journalist, who rejects most of them. He carefully sorts and sifts those, taking only a relatively very small proportion of news, may be, coining from an unexpected source. A successful journalist may gather news to the tune of 100 per cent but he can use them for his profession only 3-5 per cent. He must be able to see or forecast to himself the news of tomorrow or the day after, from the news of today; because newspapers want advance news or advance warning to give a good, exclusive and exhaustive coverage to anything of interest. But a real scoop is a very rare event. And bogus scoops also bring disrepute to the newspaper.

What, according to the passage, is the common characteristic of all journalists?

A) They all write for the newspapers                     

B) They all have to first probe into the news they gather

C) They all make an adventure to find a worthy news          

D) They all can forecast future news
