Text 7 Another element of newsworthiness is immediacy. This refers to the nearness of the event in time. An event which happened a week ago is not generally news – unless you’ve just read about it. “When” is one of the five “wh” questions trainee journalists are regularly told that they have to use to frame a news story (the others are “who”, “what”, “where”, and “why”); “today”, “this morning”, and “yesterday” are probably at the top of the list of time adverbs in a news report.Similarly, an event which is about to happen (“today”, “this evening” or “tonight”) may also be newsworthy, although, by definition, it is not unexpected and so less sensational
Text 8 When it comes to immediacy,those media which can present news in real time, such as TV,radio,and the Internet,have an enormous advantage over the press.To see an event unfolding in front of your eyes is rather different from reading about it at breakfast the next morning.But TV news is not necessarily more objective or reliablethan a newspaper report,since the images you are looking at on your screen have been chosen by journalists or editors with specific objectives,orat least following setguidelines,and they areshown from a unique viewpoint.By placing the camera somewhere else you would get a different picture.This is why it is usual to talk of the "power of the media"-the power to influence the public,more or less covertly.

Text 9 But perhaps in the third millennium this power is being eroded,or at least devolved to ordinary people.The proliferation of personal blogs,the possibility of self-broadcasting through sites such as YouTube,and the growth of open-access web pages(wikis)means that anyone with anything to say-or show-can now reach a worldwide audience instantly.

Text 月 10 This doesn't mean that the press and TV are going to disappear overnight, of course.But in their never-ending search for interesting news items-odd, unexpected,and human-they are going to turn increasingly to these sites for their sources,providing the global information network with a curiously local dimension.■ Translation
