报纸是怎样出版的
    每天早晨，报纸主编同记者开会，讨论当天的主要事件，然后就派记者去采访。
    采访记者们一旦知道所要写的新闻，就着手工作。他们同有关人士打电话，约定时间进行面对面采访。有时，也进行电话采访。核实情况的工作非常重要。他们到报社自己的图书馆去查找资料。这项工作叫“完成家庭作业”。
    与此同时，图片编辑要决定第一天报纸所需的照片。于是派摄影记者去拍照。有时可利用社里图书馆的旧照片。这样可以节约时间和金钱。
    报社里所有的工作人员都必须快速地进行工作。例如，可能发生火灾，或者某个重要人物去世了。在这种情况下，每个人都必须迅速行动。记者不得不放下手头的事，立即开始围绕发生的重要事件进行工作。他们必须尽快查明情况。报社还要立即派摄影记者去摄像。
    在当天晚些时候，所有的东西都要集中在发稿台。由主编决定哪篇报道重要，应安排在头版。在当天快结束时如发生了更重要的事，那么，头版的消息还得做更改。其他编辑审阅写好的报道，并作必要的修改。他们还要给每篇报道写标题。
    最后，没有时间增加新的报道了，印刷报纸的时间到了。印报工作是在快速印刷机上完成的。报纸随即就用卡车、飞机或火车发出去。速度是重要的。人们要买最新的报纸，没有谁要买昨天的报纸。
