美国报业减负措施及其负面影响

Analysis on the Measures of American Newspaper Industry Lightening the Burden and the Negative Effects

为了改善财务状况,美国报业近年来被迫实施一系列减负措施,包括大量裁员、缩小编辑部规模;改版"瘦身"、节省印刷开支;收缩采访范围以及签署多报"内容共享协议"等,这些措施虽然部分地减轻了报纸当下的财务压力,但却削弱了报纸核心产品,正在吞噬着报纸报道的广度和深度,对报业长远发展产生不利影响。

In order to improve the financial condition, the American newspaper industry is compelled to implement aseries of measures to lighten the burden in recent years, which includes massively dismissing the staff, reducing the scaleof editorial department, reducing the page layout, saving the printing expenditure, the contraction interview report scopeas well as many newspapers signing the 'Content- Sharing Agreements'and so on. These measures partially reduce thenewspaper finance pressure immediately, but they actually weaken the newspaper’s core product, swallowed thenewspaper account breadth and the depth, and have the adverse effects to the newspaper industry development.
