社会学视野下的新闻采写课程教学初探

News Writing Curriculum under Sociological Perspective

新闻人的知识视野、价值体系直接决定了其作品中对实事的择取是否审慎、意见的权衡是否公允、资料分析是否严谨、所报道的事件个案是否与更大的结构问题结合起来。基于这样的认识,现有的新闻采写课宜改变单纯训练采写能力的狭窄思路,而应考虑系统引入社会学知识、理论、方法,力求让学生通过对社会学的学习以及深入社会的观察体认,在新闻实践中能充分考虑事件或问题背后的复杂性和矛盾性张力,紧密结合历史现实展开对新闻事件的调查和分析。

The knowledge, vision and values of news reporters directly determine the prudence of facts selection, fairness of opinions, accuracy of information analysis and combination of the reported news with larger picture. Therefore, the existing news writing curriculum should be changed from its focus on news writing training. Instead, knowledge, theory and method of sociology should be introduced in the curriculum. Through studying sociology and observing the society, students will look to the complex and conflicting issues behind a piece of news or problems in news report, and they will investigate and analyze the news event with considering the history.
