Where men are insulated they are easily oppressed; when roads become good, and intercourse is easy, their force is increased more than a hundred fold: when, without personal communication, their opinions can be interchanged, and the people thus become one mass, breathing one breath and one spirit, their might increases in a ratio of which it is difficult to find the measure or the limit. Journalism does this office .... ["New Monthly Magazine," London, 1831]

当人们孤立无援时，他们很容易受到压迫； 当道路变得良好，交往变得容易时，他们的力量增加了一百倍以上：当在没有个人交流的情况下，他们的意见可以交换，人们因此成为一个呼吸同一气息和精神的整体，他们的力量增加的比例很难找到度量或限制。新闻业就是这样的工作.... ["新月刊"，伦敦，1831年]

[Géo] London was in western France covering the trial of a parricide that began in mid-afternoon. Because he had an early deadline, he telephoned a story that he was certain would take place: an angry crowd cursing the accused as he was marched to the courthouse from his holding cell at the police station. London then relaxed over lunch until he saw with dismay the guards and the prisoner coming but "not even the shadow of a gawker." His reputation at stake, he stalked to the door, cried out, "Kill him!" and returned to his table. [Benjamin F. Martin, "France in 1938"]

[Géo]伦敦在法国西部报道了一起从下午中开始的弑父案。由于他有早期的截止日期，他打电话预测了一个故事：一个愤怒的人群咒骂被告，当他从警察局的拘留室被押送到法院时。然后，伦敦在午餐时放松了，直到他惊愕地看到警卫和囚犯走来，但“甚至没有一个好奇者的影子”。他的声誉受到威胁，他走到门口，大喊：“杀了他！”然后回到他的桌子上。[本杰明·F·马丁，“1938年的法国”]
