the reviewer

Major newspapers in the world used to sort out one of their old employees who had been working as informants for a long time - to carry out the tasks of references, after proving his superior ability that the words became subject to his will. He is able to organize facts and write news topics and human stories with ease, ease, accuracy and speed. He is supported in this by a strong memory similar to a circle of journalistic acquaintances, and a great skill in organizing facts and arranging them according to their importance before receiving news about them by telephone from informants so that he can give a clear picture of them to people. When he receives these facts, he records them quickly in the form of observations, without complaining from the informant, interrupting him, commenting on him, or expressing an opinion. Even if he finished the archive to find out the past developments regarding the ongoing story, and he adhered to the facts that were dictated to him when writing and reorganizing them. This is what requires him to be aware of the principles of the law, because the way news or news stories are formulated may cause the newspaper to be punished if it involves insulting or slandering someone. He can then formulate it in a positive way that does not offend anyone.

In addition to all this, he also receives news by phone from informants who cannot write their news because they are in a far place and work time does not allow them to wait. He also answers the calls that come from friends of the newspaper or others and relates to its affairs, or receives them in his office to benefit from them something. He also rewrites some stories from other newspapers, and rewrites some of the topics written by the informants in a journalistic style, taking into account the rules of grammar and morphology, and verifying the correctness of the names mentioned in the news, then summarizing the news if he deems it too long or lengthening it if it is brief to an inappropriate extent. A piece of news at the end or a set of news, one of which is in the other. • This. Among the incidents with regard to what was published in the first edition, and the rewriting of telegrams and news that was published in a newspaper issued on the same day outside the city in a way that takes on a local character in order to be close to the minds of its readers. This is so that the topics that concern them directly come in the foreground, and the general topics are put briefly at the end of the topic. He also prepares letters, letters, statements and documents that are sent to the newspaper for publication. . On top of that, he constantly transfers to the newsroom information he receives from various sources, such as editors, news companies, and private correspondents, in addition to updates from others.

And he has the power to change, change and cross out with his red pen or amputate with his scissors, with regard to the stories he receives from the informants, and with regard to the topics he transmits from the morning newspapers if his newspaper is evening or vice versa, because it is permissible for one newspaper to transmit a story from another with the same phrase and style. Rather, there must be a change in the method of presentation, so that he writes a new introduction and rearranges the incidents in brief. A distinction must be made between the transmitted story and the continuous story. If new developments occur in the transmitted story, it enters the scope of the continuous story. In this case, the introduction is taken from the new incidents, because the exclusiveness of a newspaper with a story does not last more than one day, as other newspapers must seek after this story as well, to convey to the readers its developments and to search for the aspects that were neglected by the competing informants.

The reviewer is the right hand of the responsible editor, as he prepares almost everything that is printed in the newspaper. Considering that he receives letters from readers every day, and statements from officials, politicians, or prominent people in social life, he had to quickly prepare them to send them to the printing press as soon as possible. This is done by placing the introduction supported by a sentence or two quoted from the message or statement, then summarizing the information in the least possible space. It is well known that determining the number of reviewers in each newspaper depends on its size and breadth of work. Therefore, the work of references in small newspapers - such as most of our newspapers - may be done by the editor-in-chief himself, his secretary, or one of the editors employed in the newspaper.
