Neil Hester, front page editor of
the A eivs and Observer, in a speech
in assembly on November 3, urged
girls to consider a newstiaper career.
He discussed the fact that news-
jiaper work “'gives access to prac
tically every walk of life” and ex
perience “with a variety of sub
jects which one must present in an
understanding manner.” He believes
that “a nose for news,” that is “the
ability to see an interesting fact or
summarize an interesting situation,
then record it,” is one of the major
requirements of a good reporter.
Other requirements are “accuracy
and a constructive attitude toward
the firofession.” He mentioned va
rious women who had worked for
the News and Observer as examples
of what women could do in the field
of journalism. He ended his speech
by inviting the girls to visit the
“Old Reliable.”
