新闻从业者的媒介角色认知——兼论舆论监督的记者主体作用

On the recognition of media role for the professional journalists--Review on the role of subject for reporters in opinion's supervision

调查表明,在上海这个国内经济活动最为活跃、舆论监督却乏善可陈的城市,"以天下为己任"的道德传统,依然是今天的新闻从业者个人价值体系中的重要底色。对于大多数新闻从业者来说,选择从事新闻工作,更多地是出于对大众传播媒介所能够担负起重要的社会道义责任的向往,同时也出于自身的兴趣爱好。至于对名利的追逐,显然并不是选择新闻业的首要因素。这一点,正是记者作为正在走向专业化的个体,在新闻媒介实行舆论监督当中发挥作用的重要思想基础。

According to a survey, the moral tradition of 'taking responsibility for the world' still serves as the fundamental shadow of individual value system for those professional journalists in Shanghai where the interior economy is extremely active but no much can be said about the opinion's supervision. For most professional journalists, the option for such a job might be in a great part attributed to their lofty hope for the social responsibility in morals to be taken by mass communication media and the amateur hobby or interest they have. As to the pursuit for fame and money, it is apparently not the primary factor to choose this job. This is just the significant foundation of thought for the reporters to become a professional individual and play their role in opinion supervision with mass media.
