对一个报纸编辑来说,最高兴的莫过于编发一则好新闻。所谓好新闻,最低限度恐怕要做到:主题鲜明,内容充实,政策上把握严谨,文字流畅,没有语病,等等。但是,据说现在的新闻写作情况不尽如人意,不少编辑常为手头质量粗劣的新闻稿而叹息摇头。比如,有的新闻动辄就长长一二千字,内容庞杂,主题分散,读后令人丈二和尚模不着头脑;有的新闻缺乏最基本的政策观念,事例失实,用语过火,遣字选句不讲科学性;至于文字拖沓,语句不通,错字别字屡屡出现,这种现象更是司空见惯。面对这样的稿件,岂不苦煞编辑也? 造成目前新闻稿件质量下降的原因很多,其中十分重要的是记者没有认真把好写作的第一关。长期以来,有的同志习惯性地认为,“记者写稿,编辑改稿”,这是新闻发稿的法定流程。既然自己写的稿件有编辑在推敲斟酌,那作为头道工序的原稿,当然粗糙一些也无妨。更何况,一篇稿件的最后定 For a newspaper editor, happiest than compiling a good news.
