媒介视角下维新报刊的政治中介作用及其实现

The Political Mediating Function of the Reform and Renewal Press from the Perspective of Media

从媒介视角来看,维新报刊对政治变革的推动作用与其"新媒介"特质密切相关。现代报刊所运用的工业化技术使其以快速而广泛的发行构建了一个超越现实的媒介空间,拓展了政治交往,实现了政治信息的广泛传播,促进了政治变革所需的思想认同与政治力量积聚。同时,现代报刊的版面空间及表达形式形成新的媒介讯息,使其构建了政治讨论的公共平台,形成了舆论与政治的互动。维新报刊的出现推动了晚清政治现代化进程,体现了政治媒介化特征。

From the perspective of the media,the role of the reform and renewal press in promoting political change is closely related to its“new media”characteristics.The industrialized technology applied by modern newspapers and periodicals enables them to construct a media space beyond reality with rapid and extensive distribution,which expands political communication,realizes extensive dissemination of political information,and promotes the ideological identification and political power accumulation required by political reform.At the same time,the layout space and expression features of modern newspapers and periodicals form new media messages,which make them build a public platform for political discussion and form the interaction between public opinion and politics.The emergence of the reformist press promoted the political modernization process in the late Qing dynasty and showed the characteristics of political mediatization.
