JOURNALESEI was glad to read recently how incomprehensible the language of city planners is to newspapermen. I decided to call the author of the article and express my appreciation: "Hello, I'd like to speak to a reporter of yours named Terrance Wills." "Is he oncityside or the nightrewritedesk ?" "I'm not sure. Maybe he's at his type-writer." The operator said something under his breath and then connected me to the third assistant executive city editor. After about.15 minutes of this I was finally able to communicate directly with Mr. Wills: "That was a great story you did on 'plannerese', sir," I told him. "Where did you get the idea for it?" "Why, I just went to the morgue one day when there weren't many obits to do and I got a few clippings. Then I talked with the copy - editor and he gave me a 32- pointitalicheadlinewithanoverhangingdeck ." "It that good?" "Sure it is. Even acub knows that. Well I wrote a couple of takes and got it inthebox just before the deadline for the second nightfinaledition ." "Is that hard to do?" I asked. My head was beginning to ache. "What? Sure, I guess. Listen, I'd like to discuss this with you further but I'm on the rewritedesk and my legman is going to be calling in a scoop any minute now. Good-bye." I sat there with the phone in my hand, thankful that in this complex age the journalists are still preserving simple English. Дата добавления: 2015-09-27 | Просмотры: 551 | Нарушение авторских прав |
