共同通讯社社长石川聪在世界媒体峰会上的讲话 The Medias Role and Potential in the New EraSatoshi Ishikawa, President, Kyodo News World Media SummitOct. 9, 2009媒体在新时代的作用及可能性　共同通讯社社长石川聪（2009年10月9日） Ladies and gentlemen and media colleagues. 出席世界媒体峰会的各国、各地区的媒体代表，女士们、先生们：Allow me to introduce myself. I am Satoshi Ishikawa, president of Kyodo News from Japan. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Xinhua News Agency and the authorities concerned for taking the initiative to host this epoch-making conference and for their careful preparations. It is an honor for Kyodo News, and for me personally, to be given this opportunity to address media colleagues from around the world at this historic summit. This is a truly important conference, and it is my sincere hope that it will be a success.我是日本共同通讯社社长石川聪。首先，请允许我向发起这次划时代会议并为会议的成功举办做出周全准备的新华社及有关方面的人士表示由衷敬意。感谢你们给我提供了在全体会议上发言的机会，这对于共同通讯社和我本人来说是一件非常荣幸的事情。借此之机，我向赞同这一会议宗旨并出席会议的世界各国、各地区媒体业界的同仁们致以亲切问候，同时衷心祝愿这一历史性的媒体峰会取得圆满成功。I think that the main theme of this conference is the potential for cooperation and competition between new and old media in the era of globalization. As you well know, globalization and progress in information and communications technologies have put traditional paper-based media on the defensive, while permitting Internet search businesses to prosper and enabling handheld and mobile terminals such as smart phones, based on cutting-edge technologies, to dominate the media market. The global economic downturn, said to be the worst in a century, seems to have dealt a harder blow to the business of old, traditional media.??? 各位来宾：我认为此次会议的主要议题应该是新老媒体在全球化时代合作与竞争的可能性。众所周知，随着全球化和信息通信技术（ICT）的突飞猛进，以纸张为主体的传统的媒体正处于守势，而互联网的检索业务异军突起，建立在最尖端技术之上的智能手机及移动终端正风靡媒体市场。而且，我想去年以来发生的百年一遇的经济不景气也对原有的传统媒体业务造成了很大打击。In this new era, the medias role and responsibility are becoming more important. As highly advanced information and communications technologies develop, exchanges and competition between news media are expanding
