Calvin Trillin: 本书作者卡尔文·特里林在访谈中分享了他几十年的新闻写作经验,以及他对新闻业的观察和思考。他认为好的新闻开头至关重要,它能够决定文章的基调和读者阅读的体验。他以自己和他人作品中的例子,如巴吞鲁日倡导者报的新闻开头和埃德娜·布坎南的报道,来说明好的新闻开头是如何抓住读者眼球的。他还谈到了自己早期在时代杂志的经历,以及他对集体新闻工作模式的看法。他认为这种模式使得距离事件越远的人权力越大,一线记者的权力最小。在谈到讣告写作时,他强调了简洁和突出人物特点的重要性,并以默里·肯普顿的讣告为例进行了说明。他还分享了自己的一些写作体会,例如一些看似玩笑的观点后来被证明是正确的,以及他对华尔街的看法。最后,他还谈到了自己对新闻业发展的思考,以及许多人并非有意选择新闻行业,而是阴差阳错进入的。 Brooke Gladstone: 布鲁克·格莱德斯通作为访谈主持人,引导卡尔文·特里林分享了他的新闻写作经验和对新闻业的看法,并就其观点进行提问和探讨。她与特里林就新闻开头的作用、埃德娜·布坎南的写作风格、默里·肯普顿的讣告等话题进行了深入的交流。

Brooke recently sat down with him to discuss his career and his latest book, The Lede: Dispatches from a Life in the Press.)
