From Newspaper about Tsunami

Boston Globe Deliver us from faraway evil:

The media likewise know that gargantuan disaster stories have to be correctly packaged to capture readers' attention. There is an old, politically incorrect saying in newsrooms: How do you change a front-page story about massive flood devastation into a 50-word news brief buried inside the paper? Just add two words: "In India".

由此想到,如果没有网络,呆在美国,想要获得一点关于中国的信息,一定要在报纸的边边角角里面寻找了。
