[T]he newspaper that drops on your doorstep is a partial, hasty, incomplete, inevitably somewhat flawed and inaccurate rendering of some of the things we have heard about in the past twenty-four hours — distorted, despite our best efforts to eliminate gross bias, by the very process of compression that makes it possible for you to lift it from the doorstep and read it in about an hour. If we labeled the product accurately, then we could immediately add: But it's the best we could do under the circumstances, and we will be back tomorrow with a corrected and updated version. [David Broder, Pulitzer Prize acceptance speech, 1973]
“落在你家门口的报纸是我们听到的过去二十四小时内的一些事情的部分、匆忙、不完整、不可避免地有些缺陷和不准确的呈现,尽管我们尽最大努力消除严重的偏见,但由于压缩的过程,使你能够在大约一个小时内从门口拿起并阅读它,它仍然是扭曲的。如果我们准确地标记了这个产品,那么我们可以立即补充说:但在这种情况下,这是我们能做到的最好的,我们明天会带着更正和更新的版本回来。” [大卫·布罗德,普利策奖颁奖演讲,1973年]
