When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they "may find some of these scenes disturbing", so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes — the TV cameramen — have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them no matter how gruesome and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.
Today, the demand for their work is rising, the explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and TV news agencies — such as Reuters and WTN — have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to "freelance" TV cameramen.
These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured, in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.
"TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books," explains Nick Gowing, once foreign editor for Britain’s Channel 4 news and now a BBC presenter.
"By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk," he says.
It is implied in the passage that
选项
A、TV cameramen should be given greater choices of work
B、TV cameramen are a special group of people who enjoy horrifying pictures
C、TV cameramen have to witness disasters and killing whether they like them or not
D、the development of TV resulted in the growing demand for TV cameramen’s work
答案
D
解析
本题是细节题。文中第二段说,近年来卫星广播和24小时新闻的爆炸使得人们对电视信息有一种贪得无厌的需求,从而使得对电视摄像师的工作需求也多了。D选项是对原文的同义转述,是正确答案。A、B两项原文都未提及。C选项不是原文暗示的内容。
