对美国报业来说,2013年是一个重要分水岭。数据表明,目前仅有不到30%的美国人通过报纸来获取大部分新闻信息,互联网已将报纸远远甩在身后,成为美国人获取新闻的主要工具。美国报业正经历的显著变化中,最直接的就是新闻报道队伍规模不断缩水了。据美国报纸编辑协会统计,截至2012年,美国的新闻岗位已从10年前的5.4万个减少到3.8万个,是该协会自1978年有数据以来的最低值。而近年来,传统媒体的就业岗位流失主要集中于纸媒。
For the U.S. press, 2013 is an important watershed. Data show that at present, less than 30% of Americans get most of the news and information through newspapers. The Internet has left newspapers behind and become the main tool for Americans to get news. Among the notable changes that the U.S. newspaper industry is undergoing, the most direct one is the ever-shrinking size of the news media. According to the American Association of Newspapers and Periodicals, as of 2012, the number of news jobs in the United States has been reduced to 38,000 from 54,000 a decade ago, the lowest figure since its data in 1978. In recent years, however, the loss of jobs in traditional media has mainly focused on paper media.
