摘要：

This article examines US journalists' views about public service within their profession and news organizations at a time of significant economic and technological turmoil in the news business. The findings show that journalists remain strongly committed to informing the public and to serving the public interest. But an examination of factors that influence journalists' views on public service suggests that the hard times facing US news organizations today may undermine their ability to uphold this professional value.
