ABSTRACT

James Carey famously repositioned the spotlight on the techniques of journalism itself as a practice devoted to the task of defining “what is to be considered real: what can be written about and how it can be understood.” This article looks at shorthand, the tape recorder, and the cameraphone as material objects that shape journalism as a practice even as they, in turn, are discursively constructed by and situated in journalists’ quest to establish their authority to define, in Carey’s words, what is real. A historical study of recording technologies ultimately demonstrates both a continuing desire to escape the “imperfect medium” of the human body in favour of one that is able to better select, process, and store information (Kittler, F. 1999. Gramophone, Film, Typewriter. Edited by G. Winthrop-Young. Stanford University Press), and the ultimate futility of that desire. If they fail, it is at least partly because those tools are already embedded with certain values of who is human, who is trustworthy, and who is or can be objective.

记录:新闻记录技术从“鱼钩”到帧速率

摘要

詹姆斯·凯里(James Carey)著名地将新闻技术本身重新定位为致力于定义“什么才是真实的:可以写成什么以及如何被理解”的实践。本文着眼于速记,录音机和摄像电话,它们是塑造新闻业实践的重要对象,尽管它们反过来又是由记者以话语权构建的,并以记者寻求确立其权力来用凯里的话来定义的,什么是真实的。记录技术的历史研究最终表明,人们渴望摆脱一种“不完美的媒介”,而希望能够更好地选择,处理和存储信息(Kittler,F。1999。留声机,电影,打字机。由G. Winthrop-Young编辑。斯坦福大学出版社),以及这种愿望的最终徒劳。如果它们失败了,那至少是部分因为这些工具已经嵌入了某些价值观念,包括人是谁,谁值得信赖以及谁是客观的。
