调查研究是新闻报道的基础,它是新闻工作者的一项基本功。这已为实践证明了的。因为它是无产阶级新闻工作的一个基本方法,可以说它是无产阶级新闻学的一门课程。 在我们的新闻工作中,对调查研究怎样认识,把它摆在什么位置,实质上是关系到是否坚持辩证唯物主义的认识论的问题。众所周知,认识论有唯物主义与唯心主义的分野。前者认为,“物质是第一性的东西,意识、思维、感觉是第二性的东西”(列宁语)。后者认为却相反。这个问题,本来稍有知识的人都可以判断谁是真理谁是谬误。但是在我们日常的新闻活动中,有的新闻工作者却无意或有意成了主观唯心主义的认识论的俘虏:例如新闻报道搞“客里空”,或“想当然”胡编乱编新闻,有个别人甚是捏造假新闻来谋取私利,这除了违反新闻职业道德 Research is the basis of news reports, and it is a basic function of journalists. This has been proved by practice. Because it is a basic method of proletarian news work, it can be said that it is a course of proletarian journalism. In our journalism work, it is essentially a question of how to understand the investigation and study and put it in place, whether or not we adhere to the dialectical materialistic epistemology. As we all know, epistemology has the distinction between materialism and idealism. The former holds that “matter is first nature, consciousness, thinking, and feeling second nature” (Lenin). The latter thinks the opposite. This question, someone who has a little knowledge, can judge who is the truth and who is wrong. However, in our daily news activities, some journalists do not inadvertently or intentionally become captives of subjective idealistic epistemology: for example, press coverage is based on “customer satisfaction” or “take for granted” Others are falsifying fake news for personal gain, in addition to violating journalistic ethics
