The newspaper must provide for the reader the facts, objectively selected facts. But in these days of complex news it must provide more; it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. This is the most important assignment confronting American journalism--to make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news as understandable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as "local" news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in terms of our very way of life.
There is in journalism a widespread view that when you start interpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the swirling tides of opinion. This is nonsense.
Those who are against interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall confine himself to the "facts". This insistence raises two questions., what are the facts? And: are bare facts enough?
As to the first, consider how a so-called "factual" story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts. Then 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 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. This is 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 reporter and editor, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their "news neutralism", arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
选项
A、The most important task of reporters is to provide facts for the readers.
B、If a reporter interprets the facts he writes, he will get into trouble.
C、To make current events clear to the readers, reporters and editors must select facts objectively.
D、For reporters, interpretation of facts is no less important than presentation of the facts.
答案
D
解析
尽管该题是个判断题,但是它涉及到对全文的整体理解,第一段的第二句、第二段的末句、第四段和第五段都是信息源。根据第一段可以判断选项A是不正确的,根据第二段的末句可以排除选项B。选项C是个强干扰项,不过作者多次对“。objective”即新闻的客观性提出质疑,参照第四段,作者用so-called..,“objective”说明了对客观性持否定态度,故选D)。
