为什么我们没有“新闻法”——反思我国新闻传播立法研究

Why Don't We Have “Press Law”——The Reflection on Press and Communication Legislation Research in China

我国改革开放以来的新闻立法历经30多年至今未果,无论法治社会的内在要求还是传媒领域的现实发展,都表明了迫切的新闻立法诉求。在"新闻法"尚不能出台的众多复杂原因中,学术研究的偏颇却总是被忽略,研究方法的迷失带来学理探讨的浅尝辄止,宏观研究的乏善可陈,以及学科之间的壁垒隔膜。其背后透露出不容回避的学术勇气的不足和技术细节研究的缺乏。基于新闻传播法学理论建设的推进和现实新闻传播立法的需求,应首先在思想和理论上明确:新闻自由是谁的自由,谁可以办报,如何协调采访报道和国家公权力的关系等问题,同时必须关注新闻传播立法技术的研究,如舆论监督的规范体系,为新闻来源保密的规则归属等细节问题。

There are no results on press legislation in the past 30 years since the reform and opening in China. Regardless of the intrinsic demand of a society under the rule of law or media development, it indicates the urgent demands about press legislation. Among many complex reasons of the ＂press law＂ being not worked out, academic research insufficiency has been always neglected. The loss of research methods brings satisfiability with a smattering of academic study, the lack of macro research and barriers between disciplines. It reveals the inevitable academic courage insufficiency and the lack of technical details study. In view of the advance in the science of press and com- munication law and the realistic needs in press and communication legislation, it firstly should be clear in thought and theory ： whose the freedom of the press is, who can run a newspaper, how to coordinate the relations of coverage and the state authority, etc. At the same time, we must pay attention to the study of press and communication legis- lation technology such as the details problems including standard system of public opinion supervision and the rules ownership of keeping news sources secret.
