most appropriately, on my lap.
A short time ago I took the difficult decision to give up my daily newspaper, and to get my morning news online instead. I say “difficult decision” because by doing so I’ve let down the delightful owner of my local corner shop, who depends on sales of newspapers for his survival.
But the decision once taken, there are so many advantages of online news over the printed version. I choose the paper I want to begin with and there, online, are brief summaries of the main news items of the day, pictures in full colour, and two or three-minute videos that show me the news as it unfolds. Should I desire, I can stay with one paper and read its different sections, or flick from paper to paper, nothing with interest how different the news coverage of the same story can be. One thing that constantly fascinates me is that the front-page stories are often startlingly different.
What one paper considers front-page news is relegated to page three in another. This is particularly true of the more downmarket newspapers, which feature celebrity stories on page one that may not get even a mention in the more serious papers.
Despite the above, I have to admit to worrying that as more and more people get their news online, newspapers will find
themselves fighting for survival. I console myself with the thought that a weekend paper still lands on my doorstep each Sunday—I don’t think I could ever give that up!
今天早上我震惊看着饥饿的非洲难民争取食物援助中心和一个小孩被拉到安全在人们的脚下。那是6.30,我在床上,三个枕头在我身后,一杯浓茶在我的手,和我的笔记本电脑,最合适的,在我的大腿上。 不久前我把困难的决定放弃我的日报,并让我早上在线新闻。我说“艰难的决定”,因为这样我失望的所有者的当地的街角小店,他取决于销售报纸的生存。
但决定一旦做出,有很多优势的在线新闻印刷版本。我选择这篇论文我想首先,网上是主要新闻的简单概括,在彩色照片,两个或三分钟的视频,让我看到新闻,因为它展开。应该我的愿望,我可以留在纸上,阅读它的不同部分,或从纸纸轻轻,没有什么有兴趣不同的新闻报道相同的故事。一件事一直让我着迷,头版故事往往惊人的不同。
一篇论文所认为的头条新闻是降级到三在另一页。尤其如此低端的报纸,这页功能名人故事,甚至可能不会提及的论文更严重。
尽管上面的,我不得不承认担心随着越来越多的人在线新闻,报纸将会发现他们为生存而战。来安慰自己认为周末纸仍然落在我的家门口每个星期天我不认为我能放弃的!

第二篇：
Founded over 152 years ago, The New York Times is one of America’s most respected newspapers, with a formidable reputation for objectivity of reporting and the quality of its editorial judgement. Imagine the furore therefore over the discovery that one of its reporters had on many occasions written highly inaccurate reports. And this had been going on for a period of four years!
Jayson Blair was a 27-year-old staff reporter for The New York Times, learning his craft and rising to become a reporter for national
news events. Although editors and fellow journalists had expressed concern about his standards of reporting, it was only in 2003 that his acts of journalistic fraud came to light and he was sacked.
The core principle of journalism, that you will report honestly what you see and heat yourself, was utterly ignored by Blair. A reporter who was “hungry” for stories, he filed over 600, and in his last 73 articles there were problems in at least 36 of them.
His dishonesty was discovered when he was transferred to the national desk. On investigation it was found that he had stated as facts things that simply weren’t true, made up quotes from people he hadn’t interviewed and even plagiarized other journalists’ work. He had also published information that he had promised not to reveal, and had claimed to visit places in order to interviews over the phone.
Blair’s deliberate misreporting made front-page news everywhere. What was perhaps most shocking was that although Blair’s editors has frequently expressed great concern about his work, he had been allowed to continue writing and had even been promoted. The New York Times described Blair’s wrongdoing as “a low point has bean reached in the 152-year history of the newspaper”.
创立152多年前,《纽约时报》是美国最受尊敬的报纸之一,与一个强大的声誉的客观性报道和社论的质量判断。想象的轰动因此发现它的一个记者多次写高度不准确的报告。这已经进行了一段时间的四年!
