编辑研究的传播学视角

Editing studies from the perspective of communication science

编辑的产生缘于人类信息传播的需要。无论是从历时还是共时进行考察,编辑行为都是一种传播行为,编辑活动是传播活动的一部分,编辑的目的就是传播。因此,将编辑研究纳入传播学视野不仅有其可能性,而且有着充分的合理性。传播学的相关理论可以帮助人们解决编辑研究中存在的一些难题诸如编辑概念的重新界定,普通编辑学的建立,编辑学的学科地位归属等,并有助于解释和回答编辑研究中存在的争论和疑惑。

Since the dissemination of written language, the editing and disseminating acts of human beings have accompanied each other and have always been closely associated. The inception of editing resulted from the need for the spread of information. Both diachronic and synchronic surveys have confirmed that editing act is an act of dissemination; editing activity is part of disseminating endeavor; and the aim of editing is to convey information. Therefore, it is both feasible and rational to include editing studies into the visual field of Communication Science. The relevant theory of the Communication Science can help solve some of the problems in editing studies such as the redefining the concept of editing, the establishment of General Editing Science and the categorization of the discipline status of editing science and it is also conducive to solving and answering disputes and doubts in editing studies.
