"A good newspaper is a nation talking to itself,"
mused Arthur Miller in 1961. A decade later, two reporters from the
Washington Post wrote a series of articles that brought down President Nixon and
the status of print journalism soared. At their best, newspapers hold
governments and companies to account. They usually set the news agenda for the
rest of the media. But in the rich world newspapers are now an endangered
species. Of all the old media, newspapers have the most to lose
from the Internet. Circulation has been falling in the U. S., Western Europe and
Latin America for decades. But in the past few years the web has hastened the
decline. In his book The Vanishing Newspaper, Philip Meyer calculates that the
first quarter of 2043 will be the moment when newsprint dies in the U. S. as the
last exhausted reader tosses aside the last crumpled edition.
Newspapers have not yet started to shut down in large numbers, but it is
only a matter of time. Over the next few decades half the rich world's general
papers may fold. Jobs are already disappearing. According to the Newspaper
Association of America, the number of people employed in the industry fell by
18% between 1990 and 2004. Having ignored reality for years,
newspapers are at last doing something. In order to cut costs, they are already
spending less on journalism. Many are also trying to attract younger readers by
shifting the mix of their stories towards entertainment, lifestyle and subjects
that may seem more relevant to people's daily lives than international affairs
and politics are. They are trying to create new businesses on-and offline. And
they are investing in free dally papers. So far, this fit of activity looks
unlikely to save many of them. Even if it doest, it bodes ill for the public
role of the Fourth Estate. Nobody should relish the demise of
once-great titles. But the decline of newspapers will not be as harmful to
society as some fear. Democracy, remember, has already survived the huge
television-led decline in circulation since the 1950s. It has survived as
readers have shunned papers and papers have shunned what was in stuffier times
thought of as serious news. And it will surely survive the decline to
come. The usefulness of the press goes much wider than
investigating abuses or even spreading general news; it lies in holding
governments to account -- trying them in the court of public opinion. The
Internet has expanded this court. Anyone looking for information has never been
better equipped. People no longer have to trust a handful of national papers or,
worse, their local city paper. In future, some high-quality
journalism will be backed by non-profit organizations. Already, a few respected
news organizations sustain themselves that way. An elite group of serious
newspapers available everywhere online, independent journalism backed by
charities, thousands of fired-up bloggers and well-informed citizen journalists:
there is every sign that Arthur Miller's national conversation will be louder
than ever.

单选题Last week my mother urged that I______more attention to my health.
单选题Skin Care护肤 The eyes are described as the windows of the soul, the mouth as the courier of thought, and the nose as the servant of olfaction. The skin is just the frame to the picture. Unfortunately, many judge themselves according to this frame. They could either have feelings of content or censure of their own physical features. Good health and self-esteem go hand-in-hand during the process of exercising and establishing good health habits. The skin's clarity of ache, wrinkles, and sunburns is merely assistance to their stature of confidence. Having healthy skin is a step to confidence. Becoming worry-free of appearances is practicing good sleeping, eating, and drinking habits that lead to the success of a healthy looking person. Adolescents need about 8-10 hours of sleep a night, and adults need less than that. However, the body needs to rest and save energy for ongoing activities. Eating properly from the four basic food groups maintains the balance of proteins and nutrients. Fluid consumption of water is more recommended by doctors than the choice of soft drinks that are out on the market. Water provides plenty of water that is the key to have that fresh natural look. When actress, Rebecca Gayheart, (the commercial model of Noxema)was interviewed by Shape magazine in the 1998 November issue, she said, "My beauty routine is basically plenty of sleep and lots of water. " Exercising regularly will circulate blood and keep skin firm and toned. Getting involved in an activity that a person enjoys, and they are most likely to be happy and look more healthy. Having to be the largest organ of the human body, the skin's main function is to protect the body from microbes. Because of the large coverage of the skin over the body, it would be encouraged to take care of its texture and form. Many desire healthy looking skin that is smooth and firm. The attraction for this desire makes the market place booming with industry in order to fulfil the consumers' desire. Viewers at home can be guaranteed to see some type of commercial advertisement on TV that focuses on the integument and appendages of hair, make-up, lotions, or nail products. Keeping the face clear promotes good self-esteem and confidence to one's appearance. Good skin can save time from make-up. When a girl wants to step out for a night of the town, the pimples and blemishes on her face will be the last thing that she will be conscious of. Little things can be erupted from something so miniscule. The first thing to combat would be the pores. Pores are what allows the skin to breathe. If pores were to be blocked by dirt, oil, or make-up, unwanted ache would take place. Avoid wearing make-up to sleep and touching the face when hands are dirty. Pores can be kept clean if washed daily, by using a soft facial cleanser versus the usage of deodorant soaps. Whenever heading for the pool or a day out in the sun, never forget to protect your skin from hazardous Ultraviolet (UV)rays. By overexposure to Ultraviolet rays, you're more likely to develop cancer. Through the appliance of sunscreen upon the exposed skin, and underneath make-up we can decrease the odds are more likely to be in your favor. Do not go out and tan, because that ruins the outer membranes. The high percentage of risk upon skin cancer is a large fear.
