Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their motherland and over the world every day, either by watching TV or by reading newspapers.

Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers since the 18th century. From then on, newspapers have been an important part of everyday life. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print (印刷)? Why do they print some stories but not others?

Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same stories. They may also look for stories in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead, they print stories about plane accidents.

Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news from foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own countries. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正(T)誤(F)。

1.Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by newspapers and TV.
