Introduction: Understanding the

Impact of New Media on Journalism

1 Journalism is undergoing a

fundamental transformation, perhaps the

most fundamental since the rise of the

penny press of the mid-nineteenth

century. In the twilight of the twentieth

century and the dawn of the twenty-first,

there is emerging a new form of

journalism whose distinguishing qualities

include ubiquitous news, global

information access, instantaneous

reporting, interactivity, multimedia

content, and extreme content

customization. In many ways this

represents a potentially better form of

journalism because it can reengage an

increasingly distrusting and alienated

audience. At the same time, it presents

many threats to the most cherished

values and standards of journalism.

Authenticity of content, source

verification, accuracy, and truth are all

英语简史 保罗罗伯茨

想要掌握英语这门语言就必须了解英语的历史，然而对此我们只能做到略有所知。因为英语的历史漫长而复杂，我们只能抓住其发展过程中的几个关键时期。

英语的历史起源于公元600年之后，而对于公元600年之前的英语史前阶段我们只能揣测而无法证实。公元前1000年左右，英语民族的祖先（盎格鲁-撒克逊人）生活在北欧森林之中，他们的语言属于印欧语系中的日耳曼语支。

这些盎格鲁-撒克逊人是如何迁移到英格兰的，对此我们知之甚少。然而据我们所知，在很长一段时间内盎格鲁人、撒克逊人、朱特人一直在为巩固他们在英格兰的定居地而战。他们与凯尔特人的战争持续了一百多年，直到英格兰境内的凯尔特人不是被杀，就是被迫流亡到威尔士或沦为奴隶。这就是亚瑟王时期。亚瑟王不完全是一个传说人物，他是个受过罗马文明影响的凯尔特人，是一位将领，或许不是一位国王。他也曾打败过盎格鲁

-撒克逊人，但只是一时的胜利。到了公元550年前后，盎格鲁-撒克逊人才最终定居下来。英语从此来到了英格兰。

我们习惯上把英语的历史分为三个阶段：古英语，中世纪英语和现代英语。古英语从最早的历史记载即公元七世纪到大约1100年；中世纪英语从1100年到1450或1500年；现代英语从1500年至今。现代英语也可以再分为早期现代英语（1500年到1700年）和后期现代英语（1700年至今）。
