The Hierarchy of U.S. Newspapers |
ひさびさに参加したToastmastersで仕入れた小ネタ。そう、出張続くと、こういう「習い事系」に参加がかなり難しくなる。
The Hierarchy of U.S. Newspapers
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The New York Times is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The Washington Post is read by people who think they ought to run the country.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't understand the Washington Post.
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could spare the time.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country, as long as they do something scandalous.
9. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country, or that anyone is running it.
10. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country.
アメリカって地方紙が多くってそれぞれ町の特徴を示していて面白いんですね。特に地元の9とあと6なんかは「ふふふ」と笑ってしまいました。
San Jose にはSan Jose Mercury Newsというシリコンバレー地方新聞があって、これは実にシリコンバレー地方色の豊かな面白い新聞で、テック企業やバイオ関係など「ご当地モノ」企業のことを知るのには欠かせない新聞。私はオンライン版だけちら読みする程度ですが、たまに会社においてある紙面を読んでます。この新聞、聞くところによると購読者の7割が外国人なのだとか。
と、なると、勝手に作っちゃうとすると。。。
11. San Jose Mercury News is read by people who are needed to run the country but don't have to know who's actually running the country.
うーん長いな。うまくないな。
アメリカ在住のみなさま、ご自分の愛読紙を2行くらいでうまいこと表現してくださいませ。
