两岸舆情变迁中的新华社涉台报道(1979-2008)

News Reports about Taiwan Released by Xinhua News Agency from Perspective of Public Opinion Changes across Taiwan Strait(1978-2008)

本文的研究对象是一个极为特殊的领域。首先,由于新华社是国家通讯社,新华社的涉台报道是其众多报道中的特定领域,以此为研究对象就有着特殊的意义。其次,把新华社的涉台报道放在两岸舆情环境的变迁中来研究,更是增添了这一研究对象的复杂性和历史深度。台湾问题不仅是中国内战的遗产,也包含着中日关系的历史纠结遗留,更体现着中美关系的现实角力,还关系到国际政治格局的变数。台湾问题的核心是中国必定要实现国家完全统一这一伟大历史使命。新华社的涉台报道,牵涉到如此众多的复杂新闻背景,这在新闻学的研究方面,是较为罕见的。在这样复杂的语境背景下,研究相关的新闻报道,有着深厚的信息资源,也可以有相当丰富的对比资料。本文把新华社涉台报道作为研究对象,目的在于通过研究对台报道从内战对恃时期的单向宣传,到开放改革后的两岸逐步交流,到迈向有效传播以追求两岸和谐促进和平统一的现象,来揭示中国新闻事业发展进程中规律性的变化。新华社作为国家通讯社,是我国最权威的消息总汇和新闻发布机构。以新华社涉台报道为研究对象,从其近30年来的历史历程,来探讨新中国成立以来,新闻报道发展与社会进步、历史进程相适应的规律,有极大的代表性。新闻报道作为意识形态和上层建筑的重要组成,必须服务于社会现实环境的变化。把新华社涉台报道放在两岸舆情环境的变迁中来审视,有助于从另一角度更深刻地了解新华社涉台报道的变化。
