Whenever we talk about newspapers and publishing, we come across several concepts like reporter, editor and press conference (新闻发布会). What is journalism? What do news reporters do? Now it’s time for answers.

67.         

Journalism is collecting, writing, editing, and presenting news through media such as newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. A person who practices this job is a journalist.

68.         

Usually, reporters, editors, graphic designers (美术编辑) and photographers directly take part in the production of an issue (一期) of a newspaper. Everyone has their own responsibility. A reporter is to gather news and write the reports. He or she does interviews. Sometimes he or she attends press conferences. An editor is the one who reads and corrects the reporters’ articles and other materials before publication. The graphic designer presents how the newspaper looks. The designer combines images and words in an artful way with computer software. To produce a specific effect, the designer’s ideas and computer skills are very important. What about those vivid pictures that go with the dramatic stories? It’s the job of the photographer, who takes pictures. Some newspapers have columnists (专栏作家). A columnist is a writer. His or her writing appears regularly in the paper under a certain column.

   The news agency (通讯社) is an organization that gathers and distributes (传播) news. It has top reporters and photographers, and it sells photographs, news analyses, and special features (专题报道) to newspapers worldwide. Reuters in England, Associated Press (AP) in the U.S., Agency France-Press (AFP) in France and the Xinhua News Agency in China are some of the great news agencies.

70.         

   Technological development has had great effects on the production of news and newspapers. Since the invention of the telegraph, news agencies have been able to gather news and sell services globally at great speed. Today the data is transmitted even faster by telephone or satellite service.
