【分析解答题】Ladies and gentlemen,
This is not my first time at aBoao Forum forAsia event. In fact. I was one of the lucky ones to have witnessed the birth of theBFA、back in the spring of 2002 inBoao, Hainan Province.

D、for short. I spoke on this topic at the FirstBFA、AnnualConference. There, I introduced theAC
D、as a unique ministerial-level forum that brings together, for the first time, all the sub-regions ofAsia-fromEastAsia to SouthAsia to WestAsia-in dialogue and cooperation.At thatConference. I proposed that theAC
D、and theBFA、work closely together because they share the same goals of promoting cooperation and prosperity inAsiA、
For this morning, I wish to share with you my thoughts on the prospects forAsia in the world economy. They are not new but they need to be emphasize
D、Number one:Asia’s dynamism is key to the world’s economic future. Number two:Asia’s diversity is an important strength for the region. Number three:Asia’s collaboration will be solidified if governments and business work together. Number four:Asia’s cooperation will enhance the region’s competitiveness. This is what I would like to call the "AsiaCanDo" attitude.

【单选题】If the past couple of weeks are any indication, mainstream media may be primed for a comeback. In July, The Washington Post published its massive "Top SecretAmerica" series, painstakingly detailing the growth of the US intelligence community after 9/11. When it ran, New York Observer editor Kyle Pope crowed (on Twitter, ironically), "Show me the bloggers who could have done this !" The LosAngeles Times recently mobilized a community to action when it broke the news that top city officials inBell,Caiif. , one of the poorest cities in LosAngeles county, were raking in annual salaries ranging from $100,000 to $ 800,000.
Clearly, if mainstream media is an aging fighter against the ropes, it still has a few punches left to throw.But such make-a-difference journalism requires lots of time and money, something most news outlets don’t have.And it runs counter to the frantic pace of modern, Web-driven newsrooms. So for journalism to survive in theDigitalAge, it needs to be simultaneously fast-paced and substantive, snarky and thought-provoking. Or, at the very least, it must find some middle ground where illuminating investigative pieces and Mel Gibson telephone call mash-ups can coexist.
The 24/7 newsroom has become an intractable part of the media landscape, and the Web is the primary battleground news outlets have to win in order to stay competitive. That has forced journalists to become much more mindful of online traffic, which can sap morale.As a recent New York Times piece put it.- "Young journalists who once dreamed of trotting the globe in pursuit of a story are instead shackled to their computers, where they try to eke out a fresh thought or be first to report anything that will impress Google algorithms and draw readers their way. "But the Washington Post and LosAngeles Times pieces demonstrate that, regardless of whether the stories appear in print or online, reporters still need the time and space to be effective watchdogs--to track down sources and slog through financial disclosures, and court documents that often fill the better part of a journalist’s working life.
Right out of college, I spent several years working for a mid-size regional daily newspaper. I covered endless city and county government meetings, reported on crime and education, and learned that reporters should always carry a sensible pair of shoes in their car in case they are sent into the mountains to cover a wildfire. In my relatively short time in the newspaper trenches, I developed a profound respect for the people who do the decidedly unglamorous work of keeping government honest for little pay and even less job security.
The Pew ResearchCenter’s State of the News Media 2010 report found that, while reported journalism is contracting and commentary and analysis is growing, 99 percent of the links on blogs circle back to the mainstream press. (Just four outlets--BBC,CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post--account for 80 percent of all links. ) The report concludes that new media are largely filled with debate that is dependent on the shrinking base of reporting coming from old medi
A、The same report included polling data showing that 72 percent ofAmericans feel that most news sources are biased in their coverage, feel overwhelmed rather than informed by the amount of news and information they’re taking in.
I’m not advocating a return to some supposed halcyon period before the Internet. I’m still a product of my generation.
