Sun Newspapers, Inc.
太陽報公司
In the 1969 annual report we commented on the purchase of Sun Newspapers Inc., a group of weekly papers published in the metropolitan Omaha area. Since that time we have not commented on their operations in the text of our annual reports, nor have we consolidated their financial results since the operation, because of the small investment involved, has been "financially insignificant."
在1969年度報告中我們提及了購買了太陽報公司,他們在奧馬哈大都會地區(qū)出版一系列周刊報紙艺栈。從那時起我們沒有在年度報告的文本中再評論過他們的業(yè)務英岭,也沒有附上過他們業(yè)務的財務結果,因為這筆小的投資湿右,在財務上不重要诅妹。
During 1973 it was made quite apparent that such insignificance did not extend to publishing quality. On may 7th Sun Newspapers was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for local investigative reporting (the first time in history that a weekly had won in this category) for its special section of March 30, 1972 relating to Boys Town. We reported the extraordinary contrast between decreasing services and mounting wealth that had taken place since Father Flanagan's death in 1948.
在1973年,很明顯這個重要性沒有延伸到出版質量上毅人。在3月7日吭狡,太陽報因為1972年3月30日一篇特別報道中的關于波斯城本地調(diào)查報告被授予了普利策獎(這是歷史上第一次在這個領域由周報獲得)。我們報道了自從1948年弗朗恩地神父去世后發(fā)生的服務減少和財富增長的巨大反差丈莺。
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, the reporting job also won the Public Service Award of Sigma Delta Chi, the national society of professional journalists, as well as sever other national awards.
除了普利策獎划煮,報道工作也獲得了國家專業(yè)記者協(xié)會職業(yè)新聞工作者協(xié)會公共服務獎,和一些其他國獎缔俄。
Our congratulations go to Paul Williams, Editor, and Stan Lipsey, Publisher, as well as the entire editorial staff of Sun Newspapers for their achievement, which vividly illustrated that size need not be equated with significance in publishing.
祝賀保羅威廉姆斯編輯和斯坦利普塞發(fā)行人弛秋,也包括太陽報所有編輯團隊獲得的成就,這生動地詮釋了在出版領域規(guī)模不需要和重要性畫等號俐载。
