[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]
“落在你家門口的報紙是我們聽到的過去二十四小時內的一些事情的部分、匆忙、不完整、不可避免地有些缺陷和不準確的呈現,儘管我們盡最大努力消除嚴重的偏見,但由於壓縮的過程,使你能夠在大約一個小時內從門口拿起並閱讀它,它仍然是扭曲的。如果我們準確地標記了這個產品,那麼我們可以立即補充說:但在這種情況下,這是我們能做到的最好的,我們明天會帶着更正和更新的版本回來。” [大衛·布羅德,普利策獎頒獎演講,1973年]
