NEW YORK – Last week, rumors from the world of print media were rife: a hundred reporters from The New York Times news desk to be bought out – or to lose their jobs if they refuse; steep cutbacks at British newspapers; staffs slashed at Condé Nast – eight respected editors axed at Glamour magazine. In the United States and elsewhere, there is a sense that the long-foreseen implosion of news publishing is accelerating, having reached a kind of critical mass.
发自纽约——上周平面媒体界弥漫着各种各样的传言：100名《纽约时报》新闻部门的记者将被买断工龄——如果不接受这个处理结果的话，他们就得被直接解雇；英国各报章急剧削减预算；康泰纳什出版公司大幅裁员——8位在《Glamour》杂志任职的资深编辑丢掉了饭碗。不管是美国国内还是国外，人们都能感到先期预见的新闻出版界内部动乱正在加剧，甚至已经达到某种临界值了。
