The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

Not very long ago there were two sheep who put on wolf's clothing and went
among the wolves as spies, to see what was going on. They arrived on a fete
day, when all the wolves were singing in the taverns or dancing in the street.
The first sheep said to his companion, "Wolves are just like us, for they
gambol and frisk. Every day is fete day in Wolfland." He made some notes
on a piece of paper (which a spy should never do) and he headed them "My
Twenty-Four Hours in Wolfland," for he had decided not to be a spy any
longer but to write a book on Wolfland and also some articles for the Sheep's
Home Companion. The other sheep guessed what he was planning to do, so he
slipped away and began to write a book called "My Ten Hours in Wolfland."
The first sheep suspected what was up when he found his friend had gone,
so he wired a book to his publisher called "My Five Hours in Wolfland,"
and it was announced for publication first. The other sheep immediately
sold his manuscript to a newspaper syndicate for serialization.

Both sheep gave the same message to their fellows: wolves were just like sheep,
for they gambolled and frisked, and every day was fete day in Wolfland. The
citizens of Sheepland were convinced by all this, so they drew in their
sentinels and they let down their barriers. When the wolves descended on them
one night, howling and slavering, the sheep were as easy to kill as flies on
a windowpane.

Moral: Don't get it right, just get it written.


------>Meine Aufgabe : Consider what relevance the fable has to contemporary journalism .

Hier ist erst einmal mein Vorschlag . Ich würde mich seh darüber freuen , wenn jemand meinen Text korrigieren könnte und eventuell noch inhaltliche Alternativen anbieten könnte .


In my opinion the moral of the fable ,, Don't get it right just get it written'' is equivalent to the policy of the contemporary journalism in all. It relates espacially to the yellow press. The sheep in the fable you can regard as a large part of our society. Since they are trustful and gullible. They actually use the media for informing about the environment or current serious facts which contain the truth and trust the press to print them.
In reality the journalists of today are quite similar to the two sheep that want to go among the wolves as spies to see what a wolf life is like.
So the two sheep should symbolize the journalists of today. The sheep write down a careless report about their stay in Wolveland and use informations although they don't know if these facts are true. The important thing is that they are the first who can print them . The truth content or the consequences of the article plays an inferior role for the sheep and also for the journalists of today.
Sometimes it may have dire consequences if people trust everything what they read just like in the fable.
The wolves should symbolize the part of the society that profit from the yellow press in contrary to the sheep who represent the part that trust the yellow press and suffer damage from it.
Summerazing the fable represents a warning against the journalism because the content of information in the media may be wrong .
So you can draw the conclusion ,,Don't always trust what you read''.

In my opinion, the moral of the fable "Don't get it right, just get it written'' describes the attitude of many journalists of today to the point. Of course not all journalists think like that, it relates especially to the yellow press.
The sheep in the fable can be regarded as a large part of our society. They actually use the media for informing themselves about the environment or current serious facts and since they are trustful, they believe almost everything and take it for a fact, just because it is printed.
Many journalists of today are quite similar to the two sheep that want to go among the wolves as spies to see what a wolf's life is like.
So the two sheep stand for a certain kind of writers, who do not deserve to be called journalists at all. They write down a careless and superficial report about their stay in Wolfland. The reason for this is time pressure because only the first one to hand in the information earns lots of money. As a result, there is no time for proper research and accordingly halftruths are stated as facts. The truth content or the consequences of the article plays an inferior role - a dangerous development as the sheep learn to their cost.
Sometimes, these badly researched articles may have dire consequences if people believe everything what they read.
The wolves symbolize the part of the society that profits from the yellow press in contrast to the sheep who represent the part that trust the yellow press and suffer damage from it.
Summarizing I would say, the fable represents a warning against a certain kind of journalism because the information it gives may be wrong.
So you can draw the conclusion "Don't always believe what you read''.
Schön interpretiert!

Good luck says
