美国新闻界目前出现了一股新潮流:越来越多的黑人记者离开新闻界,另谋出路。这些“跳槽”的黑人都是男性。许多黑人记者觉得他们已干得精疲力竭,在新闻界呆不下去,或者说是被挤出了新闻界。这些男性黑人记者,当初最先打破种族界限,投身于报纸、广播等新闻事业中。如今,他们成群结队地离开了新闻界。在《费城信使报》负贵市政报道的记者和全国黑人记协常委威廉·苏顿说:“我所知道的新闻界中最多的少数民族记者是一些已经智穷力竭的人。他们中大多数对自己在报界所取得的进步并不满意。”苏顿说,这些黑人记者大多在40岁上下,但也有些才30岁左右。 A new trend is emerging in the U.S. press: more and more black journalists have left the press to find another way out. These “quit” blacks are men. Many black journalists think they have been exhausted, staying in the press, or being squeezed out of the press. These black male journalists first broke the racial boundaries and engaged themselves in news and media such as newspapers and radio. Now, they left the press in droves. William Sutton, a journalist who runs a newspaper on the Philadelphia Metropolis, and a member of the National Negociation Council, said: “The largest minority of journalists I know about the press are those who are already mentally handicapped. Most are not satisfied with the progress they have made in the press. ”Sutton said most of these black journalists are up and down at the age of 40, but some are around 30 years old.
