信息视域下的近代报纸与历史求真

Modern Newspapers and Historical Truth-Seeking from the Perspective of Information

作为信息载体的近代报纸从横向的社会信息传播向纵向的历史信息留存演化,因而近代报纸愈来愈被研究者运用于探究近代社会政治、经济、文化、艺术等领域。近代报纸横向输出满足时人的信息需求,纵向的信息留存提供了研究历史的信息材料,并且存储载体也由纸质版向以数据形式保存的数字化信息数据库转变。但信息载体转化与信息的耗散性决定了历史信息需要差异化的信息载体与信息内容的重组,以促成历史求真过程的向前发展。

As a carrier of information,modern newspapers have evolved from the horizontal dissemination of social information to the vertical retention and evolution of historical information,and thus modern newspapers have been increasingly utilized by researchers in the fields of politics,economy,culture and art of modern society.The horizontal output of modern newspapers meets the information needs of the people of that time,while the vertical information retention provides the information material for researching history,and the storage carrier is also transformed from the paper version to the digital information database preserved in the form of data.However,the transformation of information carrier and the dissipation of information determine that historical information needs the reorganization of differentiated information carrier and information content,in order to contribute to the forward development of the historical truth-seeking process.
