Marco Aurélio Carone, Director in Charge for "Novo Jornal", answers why the articles on the site have no attribution, and are not signed.
Q: The articles... I'd like to know why the articles are not signed...
Well, let me explain. I don't know if you are aware...
Q: ... by the journalists who wrote it.
Let me explain... there are 3 reasons
The first reason is that...
The "Press Law" regulates that, having a "Director in Charge"
this Director is the one responsible for the articles
first thing
Second thing, many articles are done
in many occasions, by journalists from other venues
and they cannot publish these articles on their venues
so they come and publish on ours
under the protection of the "Director in Charge"
For example: you work on 'Journal A'...
Q: Are they free-lancers?
They are not free-lancers.
Many times they don't ask money for it
Journalism is a priesthood
Nowadays it is not like it was...
I admit that journalism has turned into a profession
but still exist "journalists"... not all of them...
who have it as a priesthood
and they see as an obligation to report and denounce some facts
and they are not able to do it on the venues they work
so many times they send it to me "Carone, take a look on this... can you publish it for me?"
"you must publish it... the society must know about it"
