1.2 Text. Journalism Journalism is one of the most important professions. It informs citizens about events in their community, the nation, and the world. The reports of journalists also help people form opinion about current affairs. Journalists inform the public through several means of communications, especially newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. These means of communication are often referred to as the press or the news media. Every day, journalists throughout the world gather, write, and edit material for thousands of news stories. Local reporters, for example, cover school board meetings, fires, sports events, and other local stories. Other journalists, including foreign correspondents, cover national and international news. In democratic countries, people depend on the news media for the fair and truthful reporting of current events these nations grant the press freedom to report news and opinions without government interference. Freedom of the press encourages the exchange of ideas among citizens, which is essential for a democracy to work. In government-controlled societies, however, the news media serve as an instrument of the state. The press in these countries slants the news to support the policies of the government. 1.2.1 Find English equivalents to: -

Fields of Journalism There are five chief fields of journalism: 1. newspapers 2. news services 3. magazines 4. radio 5. television. Related fields include advertising, book publishing, and public relations. Newspapers cover more stories than do any of the other newsmedia. They also cover stories in greater detail. However, newspapers cannot compete with radio or TV to be first to report the news. Radio and TV stations can interrupt their programmes at any time to broadcast a news bulletin. A paper must be printed and distributed before it can bring a story to the public. The great advantage of newspapers over radio and TV is that they can report stories in depth. Newspapers also have other advantages over radio and television. Newspapers permit readers to absorb the news at their own pace and on their own schedule. Readers can skip items that do not interest them. Newspapers therefore can print certain material that appeals to only a small percentage of readers. Such material includes death notices, stock market listings, and classified advertisements. Listeners to news broadcasts, however, cannot control the speed or the time of day at which the news is announced. Also, news broadcasts generally do not report items that interest relatively few people. A radio or TV news broadcast may lose much of its audience if its stories do not appeal to a large number of listeners. News Services. Large newspapers, national news magazines, and national radio and television networks have reporters stationed in major cities at home and abroad. The rest of the press relies chiefly on news services for national and international news. News services have journalists who report news from around the world. Their stories, as well as photographs, are transmitted mainly by satellite to members of the press that pay for the service. News services were formerly known as wire services because they sent news reports over wires to printing devices called teleprinters. News services may supply as much as 90 per cent of the foreign news and up to 75 per cent of the national news reported by the press in some countries. Other news services include news syndicates and feature syndicates. The major news syndicates are owned by newspapers that have a large staff of reporters at home and abroad. Feature syndicates are operated by business organizations that sell such material as advice columns, comic strips, and opinion columns. 6
Important news services include Agence France-Presse in France, Xinhua in China, Reuters in the United Kingdom, Kyodo in Japan, Associated Press (AP) in the United States. Magazines, like newspapers, enable people to absorb the news at their own pace and to select only the stories that interest them. In general, the literary quality of magazines, which are published weekly or at longer intervals, is superior to that of newspapers. News magazines, usually published weekly, summarize and analyse the biggest national and international news stories of the preceding week. The magazines also include regular articles on developments of the arts, business, education, science, and other fields. Many magazines specialize in covering the news in a specific area, such as fashion, television entertainment, or sports. Opinion magazines publish thoughtful articles on politics and the arts. Trade and business magazines provide news of a particular profession or industry, such as medicine or publishing. Radio is generally the first of the news media to report a local story or a news service bulletin. A radio announcer can interrupt a programme with a news flash as soon as the report comes in. Most stations present regular news bulletins every half of hour or hour. A few stations broadcast the news continuously. The national radio networks broadcast major news events. Millions of people depend on the radio for regularly scheduled news bulletins. However, most radio news bulletins do not report the news in detail. In a five-minute broadcast, for example, the stories average less than 30 seconds each. Many people also rely on radio for weather forecasts and traffic reports. Television is the chief source of news for many households around the world. TV does what none of the other media can: it brings the sights and sounds of some important news events of filmed, taped, or live reports. Like regular radio news bulletins, daily TV news programmes provide only brief accounts of relatively few stories. But the visual aspect of a TV news story can often help viewers understand the story. In addition to daily news reports, television covers special news events. Coverage of such an event may replace many hours of regular TV shows. For example, television presented live broadcasts of the first men to walk on the moon. Television also broadcasts in-depth programmes that help explain a story or subject. Such programmes, which run from a half-hour to three hours or more, include documentaries and interview programmes. Most documentaries are filmed or taped. They may examine such subjects as crime, foreign policy, or race relations. Interview programmes, most of which are broadcast live, may consist of a panel of journalists who ask questions of a major figure in the news. 2.2.1 Translate the groups of words: compete – competitive - competition; announce – announcement – announcer; journal – journalist – journalism – journalistic; special – specially - specialize – speciality; 7
continue – continuous – continuously. 2.2.2 Say whether the following statements are true or false: Newspapers are the first to report any news. News services transmit stories mainly by satellite. The major news syndicates have reporters only abroad. Magazines serve mainly for announcing latest news. Many magazines specialize is such areas as fashion, TV, politics, business. Radio news bulletins do not report the news in detail. TV broadcasts mainly in-depth programmes. Television is the chief source of news for many households. 2.2.3 Classify these types of reports according to the field of journalism in which they are used. Arrange them into four columns: Fields: newspapers; magazines; radio; TV. Reports: weather forecast, news bulletin, documentaries, regular articles, death notice, classified advertisements, commercials, show, live broadcast, stock market listings, news flash, essay, death notice.

3.2 Text. Newspapers Newspaper is a publication devoted chiefly to presenting and commenting on the news. Newspapers provide an excellent means of keeping well informed on current events. They also play a vital role in shaping public opinion. Newspapers have certain advantages over the other major news mediatelevision, radio, and news magazines. For example, newspapers can cover more news- and in much greater detail-than can television radio news bulletins. News magazines concentrate on the chief national and international events of the preceding week. But daily newspapers report local as well as national and international news on a day-to-day basis. A large daily newspaper provides a great variety of information. News stories cover the latest developments in such fields as government, politics, sports, science, business, and the arts. Other news stories report crimes, disasters, and special events of human interest. Editorials and columns of opinion comment on controversial issues. Informative feature articles examine a wide range of subjects, including fashion, health, and child care. Comic strips, advice columns, and other entertainment items also appear regularly in most daily papers. Producing a daily newspaper requires great speed and efficiency. Reporters, editors, and photographers work under the constant pressure of deadlines. A large daily also employs many other workers, including advertising salespeople, artists, librarians, printing-press operators, and truckdrivers. The entire staff must operate as a well-drilled team if the papers are to reach homes and newsstands on schedule. 3.2.1 Match equivalents: -
to provide; to concentrate; to examine to require to include; to cover; to operate; to employ; chief; excellent; vital; major; wide; well-trained;
- to demand; - chief; - well-drilled; - to tell; - splendid; - broad; - to give; - important; - to focus; - to contain; - to use; - main; - to work; - to check.

4 Lesson 4.1 Pre-Text Exercises 4.1.1 Pronounce the following words: birth, coarse, death, efficiency, measure, neighbour, numerous. 4.2 Text. Kinds of Newspapers Newspapers are printed on coarse paper called newsprint. There are two major sizes of newspapers-standard and tabloid. A standard-sized newspaper has pages that measure about 38 by 58 centimetres. The pages of a tabloid are about half that size. The standard and tabloid sizes are both used in publishing all types of newspapers. The three main kinds of papers are (1) daily newspapers, (2) weekly newspapers, and (3) special-interest newspapers. 10
Daily newspapers print world, national, and local news. They also carry editorials, opinion columns, feature articles, and entertainment items. Big-city dailies print many stories on social and political issues, such as the quality of schools and the efficiency of government. Many dailies are morning papers, others are afternoon papers, and a few publish around the clock. In large cities, many morning papers publish several editions-the first one in early evening and the last one in the early morning. Similarly, many afternoon papers publish from early morning to late afternoon. In some countries, additional features and more additional features and more advertising make Sunday newspapers much larger than weekday editions. Numerous Sunday papers have special sections on such topics as entertainment, finance, and travel. They may also include a Sunday magazine, a guide to television programmes, and coloured comics. Weekly newspapers, in general, serve much smaller areas than daily papers and publish news of a more personal nature. In small communities, most people know one another and take great interest in the activities of their friends and neighbours. Weeklies also report news of local business and politics. Most weekly newspapers do not carry national or world news. Special-interest newspapers print news of concern to particular groups. Many large companies and trades unions publish newspapers for their members. Newspapers printed in foreign languages serve foreign-born residents in big cities. 4.2.1 Look through the text and answer the following questions in written form -
What is the difference between standard-sized newspapers and tabloids? What are the three main kinds of papers? Are standard-sized papers used in publishing only weekly newspapers?

Have you ever taken a photograph that you think should win a prize? If so, what is it of? Who is a famous photographer in your country? 4.3.1 Text. American Press The English word “newspaper” does not really describe everything that you can read in this kind of publication. In addition to stories about recent events (news), newspapers also include opinions, advertising, and other non-news items. Newspapers in the US are protected by the “Freedom of the Press” clause of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, the basic law of the USA. This amendment guarantees that the government will not interfere with the right of newspapers to print truthful statements. “The New York Times”, “The Washington Post” and “The Los Angeles Times” are three of the most important daily papers for foreign and domestic news. There’s something for everyone to read with 1,700 daily and 6,300 weekly newspapers. Eight out of ten Americans read a tabloid or standard newspaper every day. Often newspapers are delivered early in the morning so people can read them before leaving home for the day to go to work. Standard newspapers have long articles about local, national, and international news, while tabloid newspapers include short news articles and a lot of photos, stories about famous people, comic strips, advice columns, and horoscopes. Most newspapers are regional rather than national, although some are distributed all over America. The New York Times, for example, is available in New York and in most big cities. The paper with the largest circulation is The Wall Street Journal, which specializes in business news; 1.9 million copies a day are sold. The first American newspaper was called “Publick Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestick”. This paper was first published in Boston in 1690. In 1704, the “Boston Newsletter” was started. This was the first regularly published newspaper in the American Colonies. Pulitzer Prizes are awarded each spring in America by Columbia University. These prizes are given for excellence in journalism, literature, history and music of 12
the US. The journalism prizes are awarded for reporting and photography that have appeared in US newspapers the previous year. The PP were established by Joseph Pulitzer. Pulitzer (1847-1911) was an immigrant from Hungary who became one of the greatest American publishers. He was also the founder of Columbia University’s School of journalism. Ansel Adams (1902-1984) is probably the most famous American photographer. He is well known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West. Adams took large pictures of landscapes, including the great forest and mountains of America’s beautiful national parks. 4.3.2 On Sundays “The New York Times” has fourteen sections, weighing up to five pounds! Look at the table of contents for this Sunday edition Arts and Leisure Automobiles The City Editorials and Op-Ed Magazine Money and Business Real Estate Regional Weeklies Sports Sunday Television Travel Week in Review Answer the following questions: Which section of the paper do you want to read first? Which section won’t you read? Why? Do you usually read a tabloid or a standard paper?
5 Lesson 5.1 Text. Newspaper Staff The number of people needed to produce a newspaper varies greatly. The smallest weekly papers may have only to 3 workers, who do everything from writing the news, to selling advertising space, to running the press. Larger weeklies employ 10 to 30 people. The largest metropolitan dailies have more than 1,000 employees. The staff of a large metropolitan daily is headed by the publisher, who in some cases owns the paper. The staff of such a paper is divided into three main departments: (1) the editorial department, (2) the business department, and (3) the mechanical department. The editorial department is responsible for the news and features that the paper prints. The head of the department is called the editor in chief, executive editor, 13
or simply editor. The editor in chief must have a thorough knowledge of all phases of newspaper work and know to deal with people well. A managing editor helps the editor in chief direct the members of the editorial staff. Under the managing editor are assistant managing editors and news editors. Other editors are responsible for news in certain areas. For example, most large dailies have a city editor, a suburban editor, and a foreign editor. The various sections and departments of the paper, such as the sports, arts, and financial sections, also have an editor of their own. Each editor supervises a staff of reporters, writers, and other workers. Some editors, such as the sports and financial editors, may write a daily column in addition to their supervisory duties. The editor in chief directs a staff of editorial writers, as well as the news staff. In many cases, the publisher helps to guide these writers. Thus, a newspaper’s editorials often express the views of the publisher. Metropolitan dailies also employ special columnists to write columns of humour, advice, or general information. Large newspapers provide special facilities to assist the editorial staff. For example, a library keeps copies of past stories and pictures as well as such resources as almanacs and encyclopedias. In addition, artists and photographers need special facilities to do their work. A newspaper must also have a photo lab where pictures can be processed speedily. The business department tries to ensure that the paper makes a profit. A business manager heads the department with the help of an advertising manager, a circulation manager, and a promotion manager. The advertising manager directs a staff that sells advertising space to shops, manufacturers, and other businesses as well as classified ads to individuals and firs. The circulation manager supervises the distribution of the newspaper by carriers, newsstands, and mail. The promotion manager develops ways of drawing attention to the paper to attract new readers and new advertisers. The business department also has accountants and bookkeepers to handle the financial records. The mechanical department prints the newspaper. A production manager directs the department’s operations. Some workers set the type, and others arrange the stories, photographs, and advertising to make up the pages. Still other workers produce the printing plates from which the newspaper is printed. The printing-press operators lock the plates on the presses and print the papers. Mailroom personnel assemble the papers and turn them over to the circulation department. 5.1.1 Look through the text and answer the following questions: How many people do small and middle-sized weeklies employ? Whom is the staff of a large metropolitan daily headed by? What is the editorial department responsible for? What is the business department responsible for? What is the mechanical department responsible for? How can the top manager in the editorial department be called? What must he do? What are the duties of a managing editor? 14
What middle level managers can work in the editorial department? Whose help does a business manager rely on? What is the duty of a production manager? 5.1.2 Draw a scheme of the staff subordination in all three departments of a large metropolitan daily a) The editorial department editor in chief managing editor … … b) The business department business manager … c) The mechanical department …

6.1.3 Text. Writing and Editing Stories Some reports write their own stories, but many stories are written by subeditors. Subeditors do not rewrite material but get the facts, usually by telephone, from a reporter and assemble them into a story. Subeditors may also make many phone calls themselves to gather additional information for stories. In writing a news story, reporters or subeditors begin by giving the important facts in the first paragraph, which is called the lead. They then present the details in the rest of the space given to the story by the news editor. The completed story goes to a copy editor, who checks it for accuracy and writes a headline for the story. The copy editor may also change the wording in places to make the story more readable, and must cut material from the story if it is too long. Many newspapers use computerized editing systems. With these systems, writers and editors use video display terminals (VDT’s) instead of typewriters and pencils. A VDT consists of a typewriter like keyboard with an electronic screen attached. As a reporter or subeditor types out a story on the keyboard, it appears on the screen. Special keys enable the writer to make corrections, insert information, and rearrange sentences or paragraphs. The completed story is stored in the computer’s memory banks. At a touch of a button, a copy editor can call up the story and edit it on a VDT like the one used by the writer. VDT’s are sometimes also called cathoderay tube terminals (CRT’s). 6.1.4 Form adjectives with suffix –able and explain their meaning. Model: to recognize – recognizable – something that is possible to recognize - to read; - to change; - to measure; - to copy;

Unit III 7 Lesson 7.1 Look through the text and change the order of the questions according to the logical structure of the text. Answer them What is the difference between investigative reporters and stringers? How are news reports from various countries transmitted to newspaper offices? What may a general assignment reporter do? What papers can afford to have foreign correspondents? What techniques do reporters use to gather information for their stories? What job may stringers for big-city newspapers have? What types of particular buildings are visited by speciality reporters? What particular subjects can speciality reporters cover? 7.1.1Text. How newspapers are produced Gathering the news is the first step in the production of a newspaper. A paper gets the news it prints from two main sources: (1) its own reporters and (2) news services. Reporters use interviews, research, and investigative techniques to gather information for their stories. They must have well-developed “news judgement” to sort out important stories from those that have little public interest. A newspaper employs several kinds of reporters. Many reporters cover a speciality. Some speciality reporters are assigned to particular buildings, including police stations and the criminal courts. Other reporters cover a particular subject, such as science, education, or consumer affairs. Certain other reporters cover any story to which they are assigned or which they find on their own. A general assignment reporter may assist a speciality reporter if too many stories break on a topic for one person to handle. The news staff of big-city newspaper also includes investigative reporters and stringers. Investigative reporters search out and expose political corruption on other wrongdoing. They may work weeks or months to get a story or a series of stories. Stringers do not work full time for the newspaper but occasionally turn in a story. Stringers for big-city newspapers may have a permanent job with a regional newspaper or a small radio station. The largest papers have foreign correspondents in the major cities of the world, such as London, Paris, Moscow, Washington, and Tokyo. But not even the largest newspapers can afford to have reporters in all the major cities. As a result, newspapers depend on news services or wire services for at least part of their national and foreign news. Each news service has hundreds of reporters in various countries. The news services transmit news reports and photographs to newspaper offices over a 17
teleprinter and telephoto system, or via satellite. Major news services include Agence France-Presse in France, Reuters in the United Kingdom, Tass in Russia, and Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI) in the United States. Many papers also get news from news syndicates. A news syndicate is owned by a newspaper or chain of newspapers with a large staff of reporters around the world. A syndicate distributes to its clients many stories that it prints in its own paper or papers. 7.1.2 Use toponimic names from the text in sentences of your own. Model: Berlin is the capital of Germany. Moscow, London, Paris, Washington, Tokyo. 7.1.3 Form synonymic pairs: -
to gather; to get; particular; main; affairs; to include; assignment; to expose; to assist; to own; to sort out; to handle; various; to employ; permanent;
- to classify; - to possess; - constant; - to receive; - to use; - different; - to help; - to man ipulate; - special; - to pick; - to show; - to contain; - matters; - task; - major.
7.2 Look through the text and find sentences in the text telling about: -
“quality” newspapers concern; the aim of “tabloids”; “The Daily Telegraph” circulation; the readership of “The Sun”; the ownership of British newspapers; peculiarities of the “Sundays”.
7.2.1 Text. Types of National Daily Paper Probably in no other country are there such great differences between the various national daily newspapers- in the type of news they report and the way they report it. 18
On the one hand, there are the “quality” newspapers: The Times, The Independent, The Guardian, the Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph. These concern themselves, as far as possible, with factual reports of major national and international news stories, with the world of politics and business and with the arts and sport. On the other hand, there are the “popular” or “tabloids”, so-called because of their smaller size. The tabloids- the most widely-read of which are The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, The Daily Mirror, The Sun and The Daily Star- concentrate on more emotive reporting of stories often featuring sex, violence, the Royal Family, film and pop stars, and sport. It is often said that the popular Press aims to entertain its readers rather than inform them. The tabloid Press is far more popular than the quality Press. The average daily circulation in 1989 for the Daily Mirror, for example, was almost 3,200,000, while for The Times it was less than 450,000. The most popular quality paper is The Daily Telegraph with the circulation of around 1,100,000 per day, compared with The Sun’s circulation of over 4,170,000. Of course, more than one person usually reads each newspaper that is sold ( the readership of The Sun, for instance, is probably over 11,000,000 per day). It is estimated that two out of every three adults regularly read a national daily newspaper, and that three out of four adults regularly read a local newspaper. This means that the British are one of the biggest newspaper –reading nations in the world. Those are the main types of printed press in Britain: A popular or tabloid newspapers focuses more on sensation than real news whereas a quality newspaper professes to be more interested in real news than in sensation. A tabloid usually has a smaller format than a quality paper, it has larger headlines and shorter stories and, in Britain, it prefers stories about film stars, violent crimes and the royal family. A journal is the name usually given to an academic magazine. A colour supplement is a magazine which comes out once a week ( often on Sundays) as an addition to a newspaper. A comic is a magazine, usually for children or teenagers, with lots of picture stories and/or cartoons. 7.2.2 Choose the correct answers: 1.The quality papers try to entertain rather than inform. a. true b. false 2.

People advertise for the things they want to buy, and the things they want to sell. Some advertisements are put in the newspaper by the big companies. Others are put by ordinary people. An advertisement which uses a lot of space costs more money than one which uses a little space. So people try to make their messages as short as possible.. They shorten the words, and use abbreviations. For example, they put ‘rm’ instead of ‘room’, and ‘250 pm’ instead of ‘250 a month’. 7.3.1 Here is the list of abbreviations which you can find in advertisements for flats and houses.

Radio in Britain In 1982 the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) celebrated its 60th anniversary of broadcasting. It is controlled by a board of governors who are appointed by the government but this board has complete freedom and the government cannot interfere by dictating the content of the programmes. The BBC does not speak for the Government. On the contrary, it has to be as fair as possible in giving radio time to political parties and religious groups, for 22
example at election time major political parties must be allocated equal time for their party political broadcasts. Each party complains from time to time that the BBC is prejudiced against it! The BBC operates four national radio services which specialize as follows: Radio 1 – rock & pop music; phone-in request programmes with disk-jockeys selecting records from “Top 40”. Radio 2 – music station with some pop music; mainly “light” music, sport and light entertainment/comedy. Radio 3 – recorded classical music during the day; broadcasts of concerts, plays & serious discussions in evening. Radio 4 – mainly spoken word: news programmes, current affairs, reviews, serials, quizzes, discussions, plays. Radio 4 VHF (very high frequency) also broadcasts OPEN UNIVERSITY courses and STUDY ON 4 programmes offering courses on foreign languages, art, politics etc. There are also special regional programmes for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales (some programmes in Welsh) and more recently a large number of local radio stations have been set up all over the country, reporting local community service – e.g. Radio Leeds or Radio WM for Birmingham. In addition the BBC World Service broadcasts programmes about Britain together with news bulletins in 37 different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world. The headquarters of World Service is in Bush House in London and over the entrance to the building as over other BBC centres is the BBS text “NATIONS SHALL SPEAK PEACE UNTO NATIONS”. There is no advertising on BBC radio (or TV) stations and the BBC obtains most of its financial support from the sale of TV licenses. However, you do not need to buy a license if you only have a radio and no television. In recent years, the BBC monopoly on radio has been broken by about 20 independent or commercial radio stations which have opened in many large cities. They are financed by the advertisements they broadcasts and they provide a variety of programmes to suit the tastes of their local audiences. In London there are 2 commercial stations broadcasting 24 hours per day: The London Broadcasting Company (LBC) - largely news; Capitol Radio – largely pop music aimed at a young audience. In Birmingham the popular commercial station is BRMB. The Leeds area is covered by Radio Aire and 235 Pennine Radio. Details of BBC radio can be found in the weekly magazine called Radio Times (also containing TV programme details) while any daily newspaper gives details of all TV and radio programmes for that day. The “Listener” is another weekly BBC publication which critically reviews and comments on radio & TV programmes of the week. 8.2.1 Say whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE The BBC began broadcasting in 1922. 23
Whichever government is in power has control over the BBC. If you are interested in classical music you will probably tune in to Radio 1. (tune in = listen) BBC World Service only broadcasts in languages other than English. The BBC is financed by revenue from advertisements. BRMB is an example of an independent radio station. 8.2.2 Answer the questions: What do the initials VHF stand for?

8.3 Text. US Radio. On the air Across the United States there are more than nine thousand radio stations. Almost all of them are commercial, except for National Public Radio stations. Listeners can tune into all kinds of stations: pop or classical music, news, sports, or community radio. Talk radio shows are very popular. Listeners call in and ask the talk show host or guests questions about anything from cooking or car repair to politics or health. Callers often get a chance to give their own opinions on the air. "Shock jocks" attract listeners to their talk shows because of their funny, controversial, and insulting comments. 8.3.1 Have you ever listened to shock jocks on the radio? What do you think of them?

9.1.1 Text. Television in Britain According to market surveys or opinion polls, watching television is the most common leisure activity among British people - which may reflect the quality of British television or the inertia of the British people. There are now four television channels in Britain. Two are operated by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC): BBC 1 - shows mainly light entertainment, news, quizzes, films, serials and documentaries. Courses for the OPEN UNIVERSITY are shown on BBC 1 on Sunday mornings ver early. BBC 2 - usually shows more serious films, plays, documentaries and discussions. The majority of courses for the OPEN UNIVERSITY are shown on this channel either very early in the morning or late at night. Eight regional television centres provide regional news and programmes of local interest on both channels. These two channels are finances by the TV license which everyone who owns or rents a television must obtain. The penalty for not having a 25
license is a fine which would be double the cost of the license itself. There are 2 licenses, one for black and white (monochrome) TV sets and one for colour TV sets. The latter is almost three times the cost of the black and white TV license. The other two channels are commercial channels, that is to say they are financed by the money received from advertising. Programmes are interrupted at regular intervals by "commercials" - manufacturer of this product will pay large sums of money to have his "commercial" shown at peak viewing hours. There are strict rules about the amount of advertising and the type of advertisements allowed (e.g. advertisements for cigarettes are forbidden). ITV (Independent Television) consists of 14 different programme companies each serving a different part of the country e.g. Granada, Anglia, Southern, Yorkshire. These companies are controlled by the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA). ITV - shows light entertainment, comedy, films etc, aimed at a mass audience so that as many people as possible will watch the "adverts". CHANNEL 4 - a very recent channel, aims at providing an alternative channel to ITV; in a sense it mirrors the role of BBC 2 in that it offers programmes appealing to varied minority tastes rather than the mass popular audience and as a result CHANNEL 4 initially experienced difficulties in getting manufacturers to advertise their products on its channel because of the smaller audience figures. Information about television programmes can be found in any daily newspaper, where details are given for programmes on that day. The BBC also publishes a weekly magazine called "Radio Times" which gives details of both BBC radio and TV programmes. ITV also publishes a weekly magazine called "TV Times" containing a full programme guide to television programmes on ITV and CHANNEL 4. 9.1.2 Complete the following diagram: Television in Britain Commercial

9.3 Text. What’s on US TV? On the average, American viewers watch TV four hours a day, usually tuned to one of the national commercial networks: ABC,NBC,CBC, or Fox Broadcasting Company. These stations attract about 98 percent of TV audiences. During a sixtyminute TV program, you can expect to see about twelve minutes of commercials. The commercial networks broadcast a variety of shows: news, drama, soap operas, comedy, sports, music, movies, children’s programs, game shows, and talk shows. There is a lot of competition for viewers, especially during prime time, from 7 to 11 p.m.. Ratings, published in the newspapers, measure the audiences for top ten programs. PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), supported by government and private funding is the only noncommercial network. It broadcasts more serious drama, performing arts, science, public-affairs documentaries, and educational children’s programs. Sesame Street, the most popular children’s show on PBS, appears on TV stations all over the world. All five networks broadcast twenty-four hours a day. Some viewers pay to receive a wider selection of programs on cable television. There are up to 500 cable stations. Two well-known ones are HBO (Home Box Office), which shows movies, and CNN, which specializes in news.

Unit 5 10 Supplement 10.1 Text. Recommendations on Newspaper Design Read through the text attentively. Which of the fonts is more appropriate for writing headlines, advertisements, editorials, body of the article, etc. Give your opinion in written form. Use the following expressions: I think, I believe (consider), In my opinion, As I see it, Besides. It's useful to have some knowledge of fonts. There are some samples of fonts:
Я 1.Baltica(serif type) 2.Academy(serif type) 3.Courier(serif type) 4.Arial (non-serif type) 1.Choose one definite font for your major text. The research that has been conducted in the US shows that a human eye perceives fonts of serif type more easily. The human eye and the brain detect and identify a beautiful serif type font more easily, hence there's less eye fatique. The main task of those responsible for printing is to make texts readable. 2.Choose font-size that doesn't lead to the eye-fatique. On the one hand a small size helps place and arrange more printing matter per page (font size 8) but on the other hand this size font may lead to the eye fatique and cause headaches. Irritation on the part of a reader may cause his/her unwillingness to buy your paper. It's advisable to use font size 9-9,5. 3.Choose the best possible ink for printing. If ink doesn't show all the details of a serif type font the text is hard to read. It's more sensible to choose NT Harmonica if your ink quality leaves much to be desired. 4.Choose different fonts for your major text and for advertisements.
29
5.Choose the best possible intervals between lines. Experiment with intervals on your computer-do your best to find the most attractive variant. Avoid large intervals in short articles and small intervals in long articles. 6.Choose the optimal column width. The optical width of the column for the main text shouldn't be less than 5cm.(12 cicero). It's difficult to read narrower columns. On the other hand, columns with width of 12cm.(25 cicero) are also hard to read. Your paper may look more attractive if you thoroughly work out its inner architecture-every minute detail should be taken into account if your paper is compiled in the printing plant. Balanced and neat arrangement of all details will be a sure proof of your professionalism. If you use your computer for compiling a paper then its inner architecture may be built much easier. Use only high quality photos, though, of course, there are situations when it's better to have a poor quality picture than no picture at all. Pictures showing people in action appeal to readers more than static picture. A beautiful picture may be enlarged and become the focus of the front page. Use information graphics. Information graphics includes maps, diagrams, charts, tables. It is as important as a photograph. Each of the devices mentioned above makes the text more informative and visually attractive as it adds to the perception of the content. Summary: Experts on contemporary newspaper design believe that a high quality newspaper design is a neat and deliberate union of the text and visual elements (fonts, photographs, coloured illustrations, information graphics and white spaces). 10.2 Text. English Headlines Headline writers try to catch the readers eye by using as few words as possible. The language headlines use is, consequently, unusual in a number of ways. • Grammar words like articles or auxiliary verbs are often left out, e.g. Early Cut Forecast in Interest Rates • A simple form of the verb is used, e.g. Queen Opens Hospital Today • The infinitive is used to express the fact that something is going to happen in the future, e.g. President to Visit Mine Newspaper headlines use a lot of distinctive vocabulary. They prefer words that are usually shorter and generally sound more dramatic than ordinary English words. The words marked can be used either as nouns or verbs.
