Quote by Joseph Smith: “When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what pow’r it has over my mind. . . . The nearer we get to our heavenly Father, the more are we dispos’d to look with compassion on perishing souls—[we feel that we want] to take them upon our shoulders and cast their sins behind our back . . . if you would have God have mercy on you, have mercy on one another.”
- How do you think the quote above relates to news writing?
In a world where Journalism look to dehumanize people and society more and more, I think it is important to change the perspective and develop more empathy and compassion for others. A story that will attract people now adays will contain difamation, and very personal facts about other. It seem slike nobody’s lives are private anymore. The quote above is a great reminder of the consequences of being a good fellow and considering being nice to other when writing about them.
