Most people read newspapers for the news of the day. The typical daily newspaper contains articles about local, regional, national, and international news, as well as sports news, weather reports, editorials, and other features. In large cities, newspaper readers can often choose between a morning paper distributed early in the morning and an evening paper distributed at the end of the workday. Most American newspapers also publish an enlarged Sunday edition containing articles about the news of the day and of the week, plus a number of entertainment and advertising supplements. Daily newspapers are designed to be read quickly by busy people looking for specific information. The Sunday papers, on the other hand, are intended to entertain as well as inform, and they tend to be read leisurely by all members of the family. Other types of newspapers include campus newspapers, written by students at universities, and weekly newspapers, usually intended for a specific audience.
The newspaper must provide for the reader objectively selected facts. But in these days of complex news it must provide more; it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. However, the opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor should confine himself to the "facts". This insistence raised two questions: what are the facts? And are the bare facts enough?
As to the first question, consider how a so-called "factual" story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space allotment being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten which he considers most important. This is Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall constitute the lead of the piece.(This is an important decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph.)This is Judgment Number Two. Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large impact, or on page twenty-four, where it has little. Judgment Number Three. Thus, in the presentation of a so-called "factual" or "objective" story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in which reporters and editors, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their "news neutralism", arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.
The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, are both objective rather than subjective processes — as objective, that is, as any human being can be. If an editor is intent on slanting the news, he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. He can do it by the selection of these facts that support his particular excuse. Or he can do it by the play he gives a story promoting it to page one or demoting it to page thirty.
The author implies that ______.
选项
A、reporters should make no interpretation of the news
B、editors should not decide the location of the news
C、in writing a factual story, the writer must use judgment
D、daily newspapers are not welcome in smaller cities
答案
A
解析
本题是推理题。作者在第3段指出,记者和编辑在做新闻的时候,至少包括了3个判断:(1)由于版面有限,从新闻中选出来认为重要的;(2)在所选出的新闻中找出新闻的主题句;(3)决定新闻在报纸中的版面。所以可以得出,A的推论结果符合文章的意思。
