C.

　　Argument about individual accounts and their reliability

　　D.

　　Be your own investigative journalist

　　E.

　　Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers．

　　F.Information is presented in an entertaining way．

　　______

　　With the arrival of the age of “information economy”, intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing．Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information．So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them．A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists．In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson．

　　______

　　There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper’s owner, Lord Copper．The editors can never disagree with him．When he’s right about something they answer “definitely”, and when he’s wrong they say “to some extent, Lord Copper．” It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them．

　　______

　　In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising．The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings．I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show．In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment．There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a sensational story．
