自媒体语境下“法治传播”研究的概念使用和理论路径

Concept Using and Theoretical Path of Communication and Rule of Law Research in a Context of We-media

在自媒体颠覆传播格局的现实语境下,法治传播研究的发展步伐缓慢。法治传播研究在过去未能得到应有的重视,虽然相关研究并不匮乏,但是存在概念使用不规范,对媒介变革缺少关注,学术对话少,理论路径缺乏整合等问题。本文认为在概念使用上,应以'法治传播'而不是'法律传播'或'法制传播'来指称这一研究领域,因为无论从概念的外延还是从概念的理论意义来看,'法治传播'一词都更具学术概括力。由于自媒体的出现,法治传播格局正从传统的单一、平面走向多元、立体,法治传播领域因此成为可以创造新知识的富矿。未来法治传播的研究理论路径可以包括经典传播学理论路径、知识社会学理论路径和传播生态学理论路径。

In the context of a new era of communication taken by We-media,researchers didn’t make a big progress in the field of Communication and Rule of Law.In the past decades,researchers haven’t made a common view in concept using and put little attention on the media revolution.Because of the lack of academic dialogue,researchers failed to build a theory frame.The author pointed out that we should take the concept of Communication and Rule of Law to be the name of this research field,because this concept is the most powerful in academic summarizing.The structure of Communication of legal information has totally changed because of We-media.A structure of multi-dimensions have taken the place of the old flat structure.More new knowledge could be found in the field of Communication and Rule of Law.In the future,researchers could turn to classical communication theory,sociology of knowledge theory and communication ecology theory and create more new knowledge.
