有人说,美国是一个“被报纸覆盖”的国家。在大城市,自动售报箱随处可见,投几枚硬币,就可以取到自己想要的报纸。人们阅读得最多的报纸是今日美国报、纽约时报、华盛顿邮报、基督教科学箴言报和华尔街日报等,都是在美国影响巨大的报纸。但是,人们更关注的是地方新闻。因此,以反映本地新闻为主的地方报纸也非常抢手。 在美国子午线国际中心的安排下,我专程访问了圣迭戈日报社、圣安东尼奥快报社、芝加哥日报社和纽约时报社。这些报社的采编部门的负责人向我详尽地介绍了他们报纸的运作流程,以及新闻从业人员的状况。他们的规模在美国均属中等以上,具体状况虽各有不同,但能典型地反映美国的报业。 Some people say that the United States is a “newspaper-covered” country. In big cities, vending boxes can be found everywhere, casting a few coins to get the newspaper you want. The most read newspapers in the world today are the U.S. News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Christian Science Monitor and the Wall Street Journal, all influential newspapers in the United States. However, people are more concerned about local news. Therefore, local newspapers, mainly local news, are also very popular. Under the arrangement of the U.S. Radiation Center, I made a special trip to visit the San Diego Daily, San Antonio Express, The Chicago Daily News and the New York Times. The chiefs of the editorial departments of these newspapers briefed me on the details of the operation of their newspapers and the status of journalists. Their size is above average in the United States. Although the specific conditions are different, they typically reflect the newspaper industry in the United States.
