Even if you are not a news junkie, you will have noticed that your daily news has undergone a transformation. Television newscasts now include amateur videos, taken from video-sharing websites such as YouTube, covering events like the Arab spring or the Japanese tsunami. Such videos, with their shaky cameras and people’s unguarded reactions, have much greater immediacy than professional footage. Messages posted on Twitter, the microblogging service, have been woven into coverage of these events and many others.【C1】______.
Clearly something dramatic has happened to the news business. That something is, of course, the Internet, which has disrupted this industry just as it has disrupted so many others.【C2】______
But as well as demolishing old ways of doing things, it has also made new ones possible. As patterns of news consumption shift, much experimentation is under way. The Internet may have hurt some newspapers financially, but it has stimulated innovation in journalism.
【C3】______. Non-journalists are acting as sources for a growing number of news organizations, either by volunteering information directly or by posting comments, pictures or videos. Journalists initially saw this as a threat but are coming to appreciate its benefits, though not without much heart-searching. Some organizations have enlisted volunteers to gather or sift data, creating new kinds of "crowdsourced" journalism.
【C4】______. Referrals from social networks are now the fastest-growing source of traffic for many news websites. Readers are being woven into the increasingly complex news ecosystem as sources, participants and distributors. "They don’t just consume news, they share it, develop it, add to it—it’s a very dynamic relationship with news," says Arianna Huffington, co-founder of the Huffington Post, a news website in the vanguard of integrating news with social media.
As well as making Twitter, Facebook and Google part of the news ecosystem, the Internet has also made possible entirely new kinds of specialist news organizations. It has allowed WikiLeaks, for example, to accept documents anonymously and publish them to a global audience, while floating in cyberspace above national jurisdictions, operated by a small, nomadic team.【C5】______.
All these new inhabitants of the news ecosystem have brought an unprecedented breadth and diversity of news and opinion to the business. This has cast new light on a long-running debate about the politics of journalism: when there are so many sources, does political objectivity become less important?
[A] By undermining advertising revenue, making news reports a commodity and blurring the boundaries between previously distinct news organizations, the Internet has upended newspapers’ traditional business model.
[B] The past year has also seen the rise to fame of WikiLeaks, an organization that publishes leaked documents supplied to it anonymously.
[C] Other newcomers include a host of not-for-profit news organizations that rely on philanthropic funding and specialize in particular kinds of journalism. Many of these new outfits collaborate with traditional news organizations, taking advantage of their broad reach and trusted, established brands.
[D] The terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008 were reported on Twitter in real time by people who were there.
[E] For consumers, the Internet has made the news a far more participatory and social experience.
[F] Readers can also share stories with their friends, and the most popular stories cause a flood of traffic as recommendations ripple across social networks.
[G] Although the Internet has proved hugely disruptive to journalists, for consumers-who now have a wider choice than ever of news sources and ways of accessing them-it has proved an almost unqualified blessing.
【C5】
选项
答案
C
解析
本段开头的主题句提到互联网除了让社交网络卷入新闻业外,还催生了一些新的网站。接下来以“维基解密”为例。空白处在段落的结尾,可以推断其应是对前文的进一步证明。[B]提到了维基解密网站,[C]提到了news organization,均是对前文的呼应,但是仔细辨别,[B]是概括过去的一年维基解密声名鹊起,并没有支持主题句的内容。而[C]开头的other newcomers是对前文的承接,补充了新的例证。因此,可排除干扰项[B],故[C]为正确答案。
