M: Do reporters for newspapers look down on reporters from TV and vice versa?
W: It is quite a different discipline and there is an element of that, both ways. I think a journalist has to compile a much more detailed story because it’s going into print whereas TV journalists generally have to fill a couple of minutes and they tend to have a lot of backup with them—they have a team. We think we work harder for our money and we’re required to understand the story in greater depth. You have to admire the TV reporters though for their ability to sum something up in such a short time, you tend to think they’re sat around all day just taking notes but they’re thoughtless when the lights are turned on. They’re not just pretty faces after all!
M: How do you cope with deadlines?
W: They are just a normal daily occurrence. You always think you’re not going to hit it but you normally do. There is some bartering going on, but you can tell the shouts get louder when you get closer to the deadlines. TV journalists tend to have to do a number of reports during the course of the day whereas we only have to make one edition—quite often a story will change quite dramatically so we might file four different versions of the same story to hit that deadline.
M: Would you say that the industry is still largely male dominated?
W: I would say that it’s probably 50-50 male and female staff now. The divide comes when you look at the senior management posts—there are very few female editors. Rebekah Wade, editor of the News of the World, the deputy editor of the Express, Nicola Briggs, that’s about it.
M: Do you think that the press invades the privacy of certain people?
W: Yes we definitely do. The question is whether that’s justified or not. That depends on who’s privacy you’re invading and why. I personally don’t know why we would be taking pictures of people topless on the beach, but if they are celebrities and they have done something of public interest, for example, developed a drug habit and sought treatment for that, then we should report that, as they’re happy to take part in the media circus to secure them millions of pounds a year.
M: Nice talking to you.
W: Nice to be here.
6. What is the main difference between a newspaper journalist and a TV journalist?
7. What do we know about TV journalists?
8. Why did Jane Young file four different versions of the same story?
9. According to Jane Young, what is the ratio between male and female in her industry?
10. What can we learn from the interview?

选项 A、The former goes to the details of a story and the later generalizes it
B、The former works alone and the later works with a team to back up him.
C、The former can’t sum something up in a short time but the later can.
D、The former is thoughtless and the later sits around all day to take notes.

答案 A

解析 当被问及报刊记者与电视记者是否会互相瞧不起时,Jane讲述了两者工作的不同之处。由compile a much more detailed story,have to fill a couple of minutes,sum something up in such a short time等关键词可推出两者不同之处在于前者需要详尽报道一个新闻事件且要有深刻的主题,而后者则简要概述新闻事件,因此需要有很强的概括能力。故A项正确。
