李子坚,曾任台湾《自立晚报》记者、驻美特派员。1964至1994年间,历任《纽约时报》新闻助理、实习编辑、新闻版面组合编辑、资深组合编辑。30年的美国报人经历非常珍贵难得,作者将其所见所闻记述了下来,其中最为精彩的,也是在《纽约时报》历史中最光辉的一页,应该是1971年时报揭发与刊载美国国防部如何卷入越战始末的最机密文件。时报为此与美国政府之间展开权利冲突的诉讼。这个关系国家最高机密之不容泄漏,以及新闻自由不容政府干预与限制的抗争,最后经由美国最高法院做出终审决断,支持时报继续刊完这份″最高机密文件″。这虽然是时报的胜利,也是整个美国新闻界不同凡响的胜利。时报为此获得1972年普利策新闻奖,以及新闻界与社会的肯定。本刊摘选部分内容以飨中国读者。
Li Zijian, former Taiwan independence daily reporter, correspondent in the United States. From 1964 to 1994, he served as New York Times news aide, internship editor, editor of news forum, senior portfolio editor. The 30-year experience of the American pressmen is very precious and rare. The author records what he saw and heard. The most brilliant one is also the glorious page in the history of The New York Times. It should be the time when the 1971 Times published and published the U.S. How the Ministry of Defense was involved in the most confidential document ever since. The Times sued the U.S. government for a conflict of rights. This can not be divorced from the top secrets of the country concerned, and the freedom of the press can not be disrupted by government intervention and restraint. Finally, the Supreme Court of the United States has made a final decision in support of the Times’s continued publication of this “top secret document.” Although this is a triumph of the times, it is also an extraordinary victory of the entire American press. The Times won the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism in 1972, as well as the affirmation of the press and the community. Selected parts of this magazine to 飨 Chinese readers.
