问题     The Internet can make the news more democratic, giving the public a chance to ask questions and seek out facts behind stories and candidates, according to the head of the largest U. S. online service.
    "But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future," Steven Case, Chairman of America Online, told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by the Freedom Forum(讨论会). However, some other experts often say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism, giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources.
    "You don’t have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four corners of that paper any more," Sam Meddis, online technology editor at USA Today, observed about the variety of information available to computer users.
    But the experts noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can post information for others to see. "Anyone can say anything they want, whether it’s right or wrong," said Case. Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust. " In a world of almost infinite voices, respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more important, not less," Case said.
    " The Internet today is about where radio was 80 years ago, or television 50 years ago or cable 25 years ago," he said. But it is growing rapidly because it provides people fast access to news and a chance to comment on it.
Which of the following statements is true?
选项 A、Only respected journalists can post information on the Internet for others to see.
B、Respected journalists will probably become more important than before.
C、Everyone is using the Internet now.
