在這期間，人們一覺醒來，便想知道——也不得不知道——今天又有多少人在戰爭中陣亡，美英聯軍離巴格達還有多少公里，薩達姆是不是已經被炸死，好像全世界在為我們放著哨。我們不再滿足“TNT”（Today News Today——今日消息今日報道），而是“NNN”（Now News Now——現場消息現在報道）。很難說是人們對戰爭的關注激發了電視機構的熱情，還是直播刺激了人們對戰爭的關注，但不管怎么說，直播這一現代傳播手段，幾乎可以說是傳媒滿足人類攫取信息無限欲望的最高、也是最完美的形式。

Recently， people attached unprecedented attention to the Iraq war——they wanted to and had to know the new causalities in the war， the distance left between the US and British coalition army， whether Saddam is still alive. It seemed that the whole world were there on watch for us. We chose NNN instead TNT in our news-hunting. It is quite hard to say it is the concerns of people for war that evoked the enthusiasm of the television industry or it is the live reports stimulated peoples interests to war. Anyway， live broadcasting， a modern transmission way， offers the best and nearly perfect means satisfying people's infinite desire for more information.
