选稿,是编辑工作的第一道工序,也是很重要的一个环节。从选稿中可以看出编辑的眼力。我们有些编辑不识货,或责任心不强,往往把好稿压在一边或打入冷宫,等到另一家报纸刊登出来了,大吃一惊,后悔莫及。如果经常漏登或迟登重要消息,那就会损害报纸的声誉,这不是一件小事。报纸版面是有限的,而稿件却源源不断地涌来,这就使得夜班编辑困于篇幅少、稿件多的矛盾之中,因此必须善于取舍。

The selection of manuscripts is the first process of editorial work and is also an important link. From the manuscript you can see the editor’s eyesight. Some of our editors are illiterate or have a low sense of responsibility. They often put good drafts aside or into cold houses until they are published in another newspaper. They are greatly surprised and regretful. It is not a trivial matter that the reputation of the newspaper can be harmed if you frequently leak or post important information. Newspaper layout is limited, and manuscripts are coming in endless streams, which makes night shift editors trapped in less space, manuscripts and more contradictions, and therefore must be good at trade-offs.
