Huang Chao-sung, the publisher of the China Times, points out that his paper publishes about 4000 different news reports every day, or about 1.5 million a year. Reporters, of course, should do their best to check their facts, but if they are required to provide absolute proof, then the presses would often be held until it is too late to come out at all.
中國時報社長黃肇松指出，以中時來說，每天登出大大小小四千則新聞，一年一百五十萬則，記者當然應該儘量查證，但若是必須逐條舉證，媒體恐怕要開天窗了。
