英国的新闻出版业比较发达,那里发行的一些报刊不仅左右英国的舆论,在国际上也有一定的影响。例如,著名的《泰晤士报》已有205年的历史,在西方报刊中堪称“老大哥”;《金融时报》《卫报》《经济学家》等也行销许多国家。由于这种情况,加上英国又是资产阶级新闻理论的发祥地,英国新闻界不少人对其办报传统有一种优越感,把“新闻自由”叫的很响,颇以“无冕之王”自居。 The press and publication industry in the United Kingdom is relatively developed. Some newspapers and magazines issued there have not only influenced the public opinion in Britain, but also have an international influence. For example, the famous Times newspaper has a history of 205 years, is called Big Brother in the Western press, and Financial Times, Guardian, and Economist are also marketing many countries. Because of this situation and the fact that Britain is also the birthplace of bourgeois news theory, many people in the British press have a sense of superiority in their newspaper and newspaper tradition. They have called “freedom of the press” very loudly and made themselves the “crown king”.
