The newspaper must provide for the reader the facts, pure, objective 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 manpower floating, in economic pressure, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life.
There is in journalism a widespread view that when you embark on interpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the swirling tides of opinion. This is nonsense.
The opponents of 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 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 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 important because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph.)This is Judgment Number Two. Then the editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has larger 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 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.(Even though complete objectivity can never be achieved, nevertheless the ideal must always be ultimate goal.)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 those facts that prop up his particular plea. Or he can do it by the play he gives a story—promoting it to page one or dragging it to page thirty. [br] What is the author’s attitude toward the interpretation of news?
选项
A、He thinks the interpretation of news is absolutely nonsense.
B、He doubts whether the reporters are capable of making it objective.
C、He holds the opinion that totally objective interpretation can not be achieved.
D、He believes the interpretation is as objective as the human beings can be.
答案
D
解析
观点态度题。解答本题需要通读全文,理解作者隐藏在字里行间的意思,才能作出正确的判断。但文章中也有些线索,如作者说“在新闻界也有一个普遍的观点,就是当人们着手对新闻进行解释时,就已经进入了一片可怕的水域,会扭曲事实。这种观点毫无道理。”还有,“新闻的呈现与新闻的解读这两方面的判断,应该说都是非常客观的,主观性并不强,可以说做到了能有多客观就有多客观。”由此可以推断作者还是认为对新闻的解读可以做到相当客观,故D)为正确答案。
