time for a face﹣to﹣face interview with them．Sometimes they do telephone interviews．Checking information
is very important．They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they need．This is
called"doing one's homework"．
At the same time，the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day's paper．All the
people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast．Reporters have to stop working on one story and
start working at once on the important new one．They must find out the new information as quickly as possible．
Later in the day，everything is put together at the news desk．Reporters return，type their stories into the
computer and hand them to the editor．
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page．Sometimes this will have to be
changed if something more important happens late in the day．Other editors read the stories which the reporters
have written and make any necessary changes．
Finally，there is no more time left for adding new stories，and the time for printing （印刷） the
newspaper has come．This is done on fast﹣moving printing machines．The newspapers are then delivered
（发送） by truck，plane or rail．Speed is important．People want to buy the latest newspaper； nobody
wants to buy yesterday's．需要更多资料，请加微信：educat51
