A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
新闻
News
I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves.
我浏览一下标题,只是想了解一下发生了什么。我很少读这些故事,也很少听取那些自己可能也读过新闻的人的简报。
The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.
新闻媒体在很大程度上是坏消息的制造者。这也不完全是媒体的错,坏消息获得更高的收视率,比好消息卖出更多的报纸。
A news organization has a much different responsibility. I might not be telling you the whole story. I might not be telling you a story in a manner that is properly sophisticated.
新闻机构的责任则大不相同。我可能不会告诉你整个故事。我讲故事的方式可能并不复杂。
Fox News is nothing if not impressive. No matter how harsh the criticism it endures, the network somehow always manages to prove itself even worse than we had previously imagined.
福克斯新闻令人印象深刻。不管受到多么严厉的批评,这个网络总是设法证明自己比我们之前想象的还要糟糕。
When I hear people say that Fox News is right wing, I know that's not true, because I'm the one doing the news. It's my show, and there's no place for opinion on my show. It's uninteresting to me.
当我听到人们说福克斯新闻是右翼的时候,我知道那不是真的,因为新闻是我做的。这是我的节目,没有地方发表意见。我对它不感兴趣。
Conditions were so hard. To send the news out, telex was the only means, but telex was very rare in Africa. So if somebody was flying to Europe, we gave him correspondence to send after he arrived.
当时的条件非常艰苦。要把消息发出去,电传是唯一的办法,但电传在非洲是很少见的。所以如果有人要飞往欧洲,我们会在他到达后给他写信。
You can criticize any news staff in some ways, but the one thing that you couldn't call the Village Voice staff was a staff of stenographers, taking notes from public figures and just passing them on.
你可以在某些方面批评任何新闻工作人员,但有一件事你不能打电话给“乡村之声”的工作人员,那就是一群速记员,他们记录公众人物的笔记,然后把它们传递下去。
That's the problem with news interviews, you work your tail off to get prominent figures in the news on the radio, but once they've been on, the event passes, the urgency, the issues you talked about evaporate.
这就是新闻采访的问题所在,你竭尽全力在电台的新闻中找到重要人物,但一旦他们出现,事情就过去了,事情的紧迫性,你谈论的问题就烟消云散了。
I worked in three local news markets and in every single one of them, they said: 'You're a lousy anchor. We would love to renew your contract and have you be our lead reporter here, but we're not going to have you anchor.'
我在当地的三个新闻市场工作,每一个市场的人都说:‘你是个差劲的主播。我们很愿意和你续约,让你做我们这里的首席记者,但我们不会让你做主播。”
So the good news is, if you're unemployed and you go to apply for a job and you're not hired for that job, see a lawyer - you may be able to file for a claim because you were discriminated against because you were unemployed.
所以好消息是,如果你失业了,你去申请一份工作,但是你没有被雇佣,去找律师——你可能会因为你失业而受到歧视,所以你可以申请索赔。
But if you cover the World Series on the news or do a feature on an Ali boxing match then all of a sudden ears go up all over the place and people say what the hell are you doing. The reason for that is that we're doing something that people are really interested in.
但是,如果你在新闻上报道世界职业棒球大赛,或者在阿里拳击赛上做专题报道,你的耳朵就会突然竖起来,人们就会说,你到底在做什么。原因是我们正在做一些人们真正感兴趣的事情。
One thing we seem to be missing is that just as we no longer search for the news, the news finds us today (e.g. this article found me) we will no longer search for products and services, rather we will look to our social graph to what products and services they like and don't like.
我们似乎失踪的一件事是,正如我们不再搜索新闻,新闻今天发现我们(如本文中发现我)我们将不再搜索产品和服务,而我们将会关注我们的社交图什么产品和服务他们喜欢和不喜欢。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The bad news is that only the bad people reach the news because they are noisier.
坏消息是,只有坏人才会听到这个消息,因为他们更吵闹。
When we are reporting the news, we make every effort to report it in as factual way as possible.
当我们报道新闻时,我们尽一切努力以尽可能真实的方式报道。
I think everybody in news understands that the audience that watches for more than an hour is not your target audience - because those people are on life support.
我想新闻行业的每个人都明白,看一个多小时电视的观众并不是你的目标观众——因为这些人正在接受生命支持。
It's nice to know about something as soon as it happens, and obviously a newspaper can't provide that.
一件事发生就知道是件好事,而报纸显然无法做到这一点。
The good news in investing is there are no HR problems. If there are no humans, there are no problems!
投资方面的好消息是,没有人力资源方面的问题。如果没有人类,就没有问题!
Some of those stories in local newspapers are just as dull and boring as the stories that I get from on-line services, which are basically sort of straight news.
当地报纸上的一些报道和我从网上得到的报道一样枯燥乏味,基本上都是一些直接的新闻。
