“心理事实”与“心理新闻”

Psychological Reality and Psychological News

社会发展与需求会催生新的新闻报道形式,"心理新闻"就是一例。而为论述"心理新闻"存在的合理性,可以正式提出"心理事实"这一概念。新闻是对新近发生的事实的报道,但在实际生活中,所谓"事实"大致可分为三类:一是物理事实,二是社会事实,三是心理事实。传统新闻理论和实践过多强调了对前两类"事实"的报道,而对第三种"事实"有所忽略。所谓"心理新闻",就是对近期发生的、积累了一定阶段的"心理事实"的报道。目前,在新闻实践中,这种新闻产品已经出现,但尚处于感性认识阶段,急需理论上的探讨与完善,以期对新闻实践有所指导。
