The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin. Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant. few believe that newspapers in their present printed form. will remain alive for long Newspaper complies are losing advertisers （广告商）, readers, market value. and. in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago The chief editor （主编） of the times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came. “An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”

perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past thee years The New York Times Company has seen its stock （股票） drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.

汤中丞杂记

（清）冯 景

予问黄进士春江：汤中丞潜庵，自明至今抚吴者谁比?曰：“海忠介、周文襄，得公而三。”

因言：公莅任时，某亲见其夫人暨诸公子衣皆布，行李萧然，类贫士。而其日给为菜韭。公一日阅簿，见某日市只鸡，公愕问日：“吾至吴未曾食鸡，谁市鸡者乎?”仆叩头日：“公子。”公怒，立召公子跪庭下，而责之日：“汝谓苏州鸡贱如河南耶?汝思啖鸡便归去!恶有士不嚼菜根，而能作百事者哉!”并笞其仆而遣之。公生日，缙绅知公绝馈遗，惟制屏为寿。公辞焉。众曰：“汪琬撰文在上。”公命录以入，而返其屏。

及内擢詹事，将行，百姓号呼，如儿失母，罢市三日，各绘像以祀。去之日，穷乡下邑，士女童叟，手焚瓣香，成来会送。民共阖城门，不得出。公劳且慰日：“吾何德?而劳父老，乃至于此!”民皆罗拜，涕泣良久，乃得行。敝簏数肩，不增一物于旧，惟《二十一史》则吴中物。公指谓道左诸公曰：“吴中价廉，故市之。然颇累马力。”

呜呼!清兴以来，八座①之中，一人而已。宋李及知杭州，在郡数年，不市吴中一物。比去，惟市《白乐天集》一

部，当时贤之。然李则郡守，而汤公位开府，又贤于幼几（李及，字幼几）远矣。宜其可以媲美周、海而三也。谨记

之，以备异日史官之阙。

注：①八座：指六部及各督府。
