Sun Newspapers, Inc.
太阳报公司
In the 1969 annual report we commented on the purchase of Sun Newspapers Inc., a group of weekly papers published in the metropolitan Omaha area. Since that time we have not commented on their operations in the text of our annual reports, nor have we consolidated their financial results since the operation, because of the small investment involved, has been "financially insignificant."
在1969年度报告中我们提及了购买了太阳报公司，他们在奥马哈大都会地区出版一系列周刊报纸。从那时起我们没有在年度报告的文本中再评论过他们的业务，也没有附上过他们业务的财务结果，因为这笔小的投资，在财务上不重要。
During 1973 it was made quite apparent that such insignificance did not extend to publishing quality. On may 7th Sun Newspapers was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for local investigative reporting (the first time in history that a weekly had won in this category) for its special section of March 30, 1972 relating to Boys Town. We reported the extraordinary contrast between decreasing services and mounting wealth that had taken place since Father Flanagan's death in 1948.
在1973年，很明显这个重要性没有延伸到出版质量上。在3月7日，太阳报因为1972年3月30日一篇特别报道中的关于波斯城本地调查报告被授予了普利策奖（这是历史上第一次在这个领域由周报获得）。我们报道了自从1948年弗朗恩地神父去世后发生的服务减少和财富增长的巨大反差。
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, the reporting job also won the Public Service Award of Sigma Delta Chi, the national society of professional journalists, as well as sever other national awards.
除了普利策奖，报道工作也获得了国家专业记者协会职业新闻工作者协会公共服务奖，和一些其他国奖。
Our congratulations go to Paul Williams, Editor, and Stan Lipsey, Publisher, as well as the entire editorial staff of Sun Newspapers for their achievement, which vividly illustrated that size need not be equated with significance in publishing.
祝贺保罗威廉姆斯编辑和斯坦利普塞发行人，也包括太阳报所有编辑团队获得的成就，这生动地诠释了在出版领域规模不需要和重要性画等号。
