Here I found myself upon the north coast, and took the road eastward between the mountains and the sea. It was a beautiful region of desolation. There were rocky glens cutting across the road, and occasionally a brawling stream ran down to the salt water, breaking the line of cliffs with a little bay and a half-moon of yellow sand. The heather covered all the hills. There were no trees, and but few houses. The chief signs of human labour were the rounded piles of peat, and the square cuttings in the moor marking the places where the subterranean wood-choppers had gathered their harvests. The long straths were once cultivated, and every patch of arable land had its group of cottages full of children. The human harvest has always been the richest and most abundant that is raised in the Highlands; but unfortunately the supply exceeded the demand; and so the crofters were evicted, and great flocks of sheep were put in possession of the land; and now the sheep-pastures have been changed into deer-forests; and far and wide along the valleys and across the hills there is not a trace of habitation, except the heaps of stones and the clumps of straggling bushes which mark the sites of lost homes. But what is one country's loss is another country's gain. Canada and the United States are infinitely the richer for the tough, strong, fearless, honest men that were dispersed from these lonely straths to make new homes across the sea.

自1690年诞生至今,美国报纸历经沧桑变故,其报道模式亦处于不断的流变之中。报道模式是指报纸在其日常新闻生产实践中所依循的准则和样式,它是报纸新闻生产的常规形式,是报纸长时间都在使用的报道方式。本文试图在“事实选择”和“事实呈现”两个维度上透视美国报纸报道模式在不同时期的内涵与特点,探究报道模式的流变轨迹及流变动因。“事实选择”是指报道模式中选择了什么样的事实,“事实呈现”是指报道事实时采用什么样的手法。“事实选择”和“事实呈现”是新闻生产紧密联系的两个维度,选择了某种事实也就随之选择了与之对应的某种呈现方式,两者骨肉依存。
