近代民营报刊的“文人论政”

The Modern Scholars' Debated Politics by Virtue of Private Journalism

从19世纪末到20世纪40年代,伴随着皇权的禁锢、军阀的专横、敌寇的入侵,一批批民营报人从逆境中成长起来。他们始终保持着独立精神,坚守着争取民主自由、变革社会的报业传统。任何报人办报,总以一定的办报思想为指导。近代“文人论政”的办报思想,最大的特征就是政治色彩浓。他们大都具有较强的政治活动能力,比较注意民众的呼声,提出报纸应当反映民众的活动,应当成为民众的喉舌。他们这些优良的政治素质,对于他们当时的政治作为,产生了重要的作用;对于后世的报人,也产生了示范性的影响。

From the end of 19 century to the forties of 20 century, facing up to the adversities, accompanied by the fetters of imperial power, the peremptoriness of warlords and the invasion of enemy troops, a batch of private newspaper-owners grew up. They always upheld the independent spirit and stuck to the journalistic tradition that strove for the democratic freedom and changed the society. Every newspaper-owner was guided by the specific journalistic thought The journalistic thought, which the modem scholars commented on politics, was mostly characterized by the profound political meaning. They were almost possessed of stronger political ability and paid more attention to the mass voices. They once raised a suggestion that the newspapers should reflect the mass movement and become the mass mouthpieces. Their excellent political traits played an important role in their current political behavior and made an exemplary impact on the descendants.
