The campus校园 /ˈkæmpəs/ media媒体 /ˈmidiə/ club社团 /kləb/ received permission许可 /pərˈmɪʃən/ to film the student-council election选举 /ɪˈlɛkʃən/. Some members imagined a creative创意的 /kriˈeɪtɪv/ movie about rival竞争的 /ˈraɪvəl/ personalities个性 /ˌpərsəˈnælɪtiz/. Maya proposed拟定的 /prəˈpoʊzd/ an educational教育的 /ˌɛʤəˈkeɪʃənəl/ documentary纪录片 /ˌdɑkjəˈmɛnəri/ instead: each candidate候选人 /ˈkænədɪt/ would answer the same questions, and viewers观众 /vjuərz/ could judge判断 /ʤəʤ/ the proposals提案 /prəˈpoʊzəlz/ themselves他们自己 /ðɛmˈsɛlvz/. Their adviser顾问 /ædˈvaɪzər/ approved批准 /əˈpruvd/ the concept构想 /ˈkɑnsɛpt/ but insisted坚持 /ˌɪnˈsɪstɪd/ that reporting新闻报道 /rɪˈpɔrtɪŋ/ remain separate分开的 /ˈsɛpərˌeɪt/ from campaign竞选 /kæmˈpeɪn/ advertising宣传 /ˈædvərˌtaɪzɪŋ/.
Candidates were Noor, who supported theater戏剧 /ˈθieɪtər/ and literature文学 /ˈlɪtərəʧər/, and Ben, whose proposal called for investment投资 /ˌɪnˈvɛstmənt/ in library图书馆 /ˈlaɪbrɛˌri/ access开放权 /ˈækˌsɛs/ and sports. Interviews covered涵盖 /ˈkəvərd/ bookstore校园书店 /ˈbʊkˌstɔr/ sales销售额 /seɪlz/, a construction建设 /kənˈstrəkʃən/ loan贷款 /loʊn/, student welfare福利 /ˈwɛlˌfɛr/, and minority少数群体 /məˈnɔrəti/ clubs. Maya requested要求 /rɪkˈwɛstɪd/ evidence证据 /ˈɛvədəns/ whenever每当 /wɛˈnɛvər/ either speaker发言者 /ˈspikər/ cited引用 /ˈsaɪtɪd/ a percentage百分比 /pərˈsɛnɪʤ/. Neither两者都不 /ˈniðər/ candidate could simply declare宣称 /dɪˈklɛr/ that “everybody所有人 /ˈɛvriˌbɑdi/ agrees” without explaining the poll民调 /poʊl/, sample样本 /ˈsæmpəl/, and economic经济的 /ˌɛkəˈnɑmɪk/ context语境 /ˈkɑntɛkst/.
Production制作 /pərˈdəkʃən/ took place in a small studio工作室 /ˈstudiˌoʊ/. Unlike不同于 /ənˈlaɪk/ television drama电视剧 /ˈdrɑmə/, this visual视觉的 /ˈvɪʒəwəl/ creation创作 /kriˈeɪʃən/ used no actor演员 /ˈæktər/, artificial人造的 /ˌɑrtəˈfɪʃəl/ character人物形象 /ˈkɛrɪktər/, or emotional煽情的 /ˈiˌmoʊʃənəl/ song. Students directed指导 /dɪˈrɛktɪd/ the camera摄像机 /ˈkæmərə/, sound声音 /saʊnd/, lighting灯光 /ˈlaɪtɪŋ/, and background背景 /ˈbækˌgraʊnd/. The editor剪辑者 /ˈɛdɪtər/ controlled控制了 /kənˈtroʊld/ the tone语气 /toʊn/, arranged安排 /əreɪnʤd/ each scene场景 /sin/ in historical按时间顺序的 /hɪˈstɔrɪkəl/ order, and added添加了 /ˈædɪd/ captions字幕 /ˈkæpʃənz/. A reporter记者 /rɪˈpɔrtər/ checked quotations引语 /kwoʊˈteɪʃənz/ against the original原件 /ərˈɪʤənəl/ recording录像 /rɪˈkɔrdɪŋ/. The team removed an attractive吸引人的 /əˈtræktɪv/ opening打开 /ˈoʊpənɪŋ/ because it made Ben appear heroic英雄般的 /hɪˈroʊɪk/ and Noor weak弱势的 /wik/.
That evening, a one-minute clip视频片段 /klɪp/ spread涂抹酱 /sprɛd/ online. One user用户 /ˈjuzər/ showed Noor saying说出 /seɪɪŋ/, “I would cut the arts program,” and ended there. In the complete完整的 /kəmˈplit/ interview, however, she had continued接着说 /kənˈtɪnjud/, “before I cut essential基本的 /ɛˈsɛnʃəl/ meal餐食 /mil/ support.” The missing丢失的 /ˈmɪsɪŋ/ sentence句子 /ˈsɛntəns/ reversed颠倒 /rɪˈvərst/ her meaning意思 /ˈminɪŋ/. Angry愤怒的 /ˈæŋgri/ comments评论 /ˈkɑmɛnts/ threatened威胁 /θˈrɛtənd/ her reputation声誉 /ˌrɛpjəˈteɪʃən/, and the clip attracted引起 /əˈtræktəd/ a huge reaction反应 /riˈækʃən/. Its anonymous匿名的 /əˈnɑnəməs/ creator创作者 /kriˈeɪtər/ denied altering改动 /ˈɔltərɪŋ/ anything because every visible可见的 /ˈvɪzəbəl/ word was genuine真实的 /ˈʤɛnjuˌaɪn/.
Maya compared the clip with the full footage素材 /ˈfʊtɪʤ/ and exposed暴露的 /ɪkˈspoʊzd/ the exact准确的 /ɪgˈzækt/ edit剪辑 /ˈɛdət/. The team became aware意识到 /əˈwɛr/ that accusing指责 /əˈkjuzɪŋ/ a particular特定的 /ˌpɑˈtɪkjələr/ person without proof证据 /pruf/ would create another injustice不公 /ˌɪnˈʤəstɪs/. Instead, the club published发布了 /ˈpəblɪʃt/ both versions版本 /ˈvərʒənz/ and its internal内部的 /ˌɪnˈtərnəl/ editing剪辑 /ˈɛdɪtɪŋ/ log beside在旁边 /ˌbiˈsaɪd/ an explanation说明 /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/ of the extent程度 /ɪkˈstɛnt/ to which selection选择 /səˈlɛkʃən/ changes perception观感 /pərˈsɛpʃən/. Ben shared共享的 /ʃɛrd/ the correction澄清 /kərˈɛkʃən/ although the false虚假的 /fɔls/ clip benefited使受益 /ˈbɛnəˌfɪtɪd/ his campaign. Political政治的 /pəˈlɪtɪkəl/ competition竞争 /ˌkɑmpəˈtɪʃən/, he said, did not excuse借口 /ɪkˈskjuz/ dishonesty不诚实 /dɪˈsɑnəsti/; Noor thanked him without pretending假装 /priˈtɛndɪŋ/ their opposition分歧 /ˌɑpəˈzɪʃən/ had disappeared消失 /ˌdɪsəˈpɪrd/.
A faculty学院的 /ˈfækəlti/ committee委员会 /kəˈmɪti/ and the campus civil公民的 /ˈsɪvəl/ association协会 /əˌsoʊʃiˈeɪʃən/ reviewed复核 /rivˈjud/ the incident事件 /ˈɪnsədənt/. They discussed privacy隐私 /ˈpraɪvəsi/ law法律 /lɔ/, consent同意 /kənˈsɛnt/, fair公平的 /fɛr/ use, cultural文化的 /ˈkəlʧərəl/ sensitivity敏感性 /ˌsɛnsɪˈtɪvɪti/, and online harassment骚扰 /hərˈæsmənt/. Members recommended建议了 /ˌrɛkəˈmɛndɪd/ that future videos视频 /ˈvɪdioʊz/ display标明 /dɪˈspleɪ/ sources来源 /ˈsɔrsəz/, identify altered material, preserve保存 /prɪˈzərv/ a secure安全的 /sɪˈkjʊr/ original, and invite邀请 /ˌɪnˈvaɪt/ subjects to view disputed有争议的 /dɪˈspjutɪd/ context. Captions were required必需的 /rikˈwaɪərd/ for hearing-impaired viewers. The rules protected保护了 /prəˈtɛktɪd/ free自由的 /fri/ expression表达 /ɪkˈsprɛʃən/ while acknowledging承认 /ækˈnɑlɪʤɪŋ/ that media power力量 /paʊər/ can damage损害 /ˈdæmɪʤ/ a real relationship人际关系 /riˈleɪʃənˌʃɪp/.
At Friday's screening放映 /ˈskrinɪŋ/, each voter投票者 /ˈvoʊtər/ watched the twelve-minute documentary before questioning提问 /kˈwɛsʧənɪŋ/ both candidates. A student critic评论者 /ˈkrɪtɪk/ praised表扬 /preɪzd/ its balanced平衡的 /ˈbælənst/ structure结构 /ˈstrəkʧər/; another wanted figures数据 /ˈfɪgjərz/ about the economy经济 /ɪˈkɑnəmi/. The election was almost a tie, and neither side would lose by much; no one blamed责怪 /bleɪmd/ the film. Noor became president主席 /ˈprɛzɪdənt/, while Ben became chairman负责人 /ˈʧɛrmən/ of the finance财务 /ˈfaɪˌnæns/ panel小组 /ˈpænəl/. In a small victory胜利 /ˈvɪktəri/ for cooperation合作 /kˌwɔpərˈeɪʃən/, their joint联合的 /ʤɔɪnt/ proposal funded资助 /ˈfəndɪd/ library access and theater production.
Maya's observation观察 /ˌɑbzərˈveɪʃən/: truth真实 /truθ/ is not guaranteed得到保证的 /ˌgɛrənˈtid/ because a camera recorded记录了 /rɪˈkɔrdɪd/ it. Editors choose选择 /ʧuz/ where a scene starts, what text文字 /tɛkst/ appears, and which reaction remains留下 /rɪˈmeɪnz/ outside the frame画面 /freɪm/. That influence影响 /ˈɪnfluəns/ is neither entirely完全地 /ɪnˈtaɪərli/ harmful有害的 /ˈhɑrmfəl/ nor automatically自动地 /ˌɔtəˈmætɪkli/ democratic民主的 /ˌdɛməˈkrætɪk/. Indeed, responsible负责的 /riˈspɑnsəbəl/ media matters because democracy民主 /dɪˈmɑkrəsi/ must engage面对 /ɪnˈgeɪʤ/ with evidence, rely依靠 /rɪˈlaɪ/ on context, recognize承认 /ˈrɛkəgˌnaɪz/ uncertainty不确定性 /ənˈsərtənti/, and decide决定 /ˌdɪˈsaɪd/ with intelligence理智 /ˌɪnˈtɛləʤəns/ rather而不是 /ˈrəðər/ than fear恐惧 /fɪr/.
