中宣部新闻局在2010年1月21日第39期《新闻阅评》中,对人民日报的改扩版予以充分肯定。阅评员认为,扩版的实践证明,人民日报在“三贴近”的努力上取得了明显的成效。人民日报既要有大家风范,又要有平民意识,努力实现两者的密切结合,是政治家的气魄和胸怀,也是办好报纸的“秘诀”之所在。 The Information Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department fully affirmed the reform and expansion of People’s Daily in the “News Review” of the 39th January 21, 2010. The reviewers believe that the expansion of the practice proves that the People’s Daily has achieved remarkable results in its efforts to “move closer to the three”. The People’s Daily should not only deserve everyone’s demeanor, but also have civilian awareness and strive to realize the close combination of the two. It is the boldness and ambition of a politician and the “secret” of running a newspaper.
