今年3月4日,名为《今日》的全国性八开小型日报在英国创刊。这家由四个装有电子设备的印刷厂印制的套色报纸是一位阿拉伯贵族埃迪·夏以二千二百万英磅创建的。他不雇用属于印刷业工会的工人,从编辑部到印刷厂直至发行部只雇用保证不罢工、懂电子技术的职工,所以能够不受印刷业工会的钳制,从而可节省大量工资支出。他预期《今日》每年至少盈利一千万英镑。这件事在英国报业史上构成一件划时代的新闻,因为它表明新的印刷技术冲击了古老的舰队街办报传统。它同时也表明以舰队街为代表的英国旧式报纸的生产方式已经不合时代潮流。
March 4 this year, called “today” national open eight small newspapers in the United Kingdom started. The tidy newspaper, printed by four printing houses with electronic equipment, was created by Eddie Summer, an Arab aristocrat, for 22 million pounds. He did not hire workers belonging to the printing trade unions. From the editorial office to the printing house until the distribution department hired only those employees who were guaranteed no strike and who knew the electronic technology, he was able to save himself from a large amount of wage and expenditure without being restrained by the printing trade unions. He expects to earn at least £ 10 million a year today. This incident constituted an epoch-making news in the history of the British press as it demonstrated that the new printing technique had hit the old Fleet Street newspaper tradition. It also shows that the mode of production of old British newspapers, represented by Fleet Street, is out of step with the times.
