“苏报案”和“曾格案”之比较——新闻自由:不懈的追求

The Comparison of the Su Journal Case and Zenger Case——News freedom:Pursuing without Stop

“苏报案”是一场涉及新闻言论自由的政治案件,是清朝末期中国最大的一次文字狱;“曾格案”是美国新闻史上最重要的涉及新闻言论自由的一个法律先例。两个案件虽然分别发生在东、西方社会制度、文化背景迥然不同的国度,但都体现了人们对新闻自由的不懈追求。

The Su Journal Case was a political one related to news and speach freedom,which was the most serious literary inquisition towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zenger Case was one of the most important law samples relating to news and speach freedom in the news history of the United States. Although the two cases took place separately in the East and West in two countries whose social systems and cultural backgrounds were quite different, they both reflected people＇s incessant pursuit of news freedom.
