中国人民大学新闻学院教授、中国新闻学会会长、著名学者方汉奇先生认为,中国是世界上最先有报纸和最先有印刷报纸的国家,中国有将近1300年的封建社会办报的历史。然而,中国这么悠久的办报历史,在近代化的报刊发展上面却远晚于西方。遗憾,可叹之余,我们不忘将我们古代的新闻传播做一番研究比较。 Mr. Fang Hanqi, a professor of the School of Journalism at Renmin University of China and a famous scholar of China Institute of Journalism, believes that China is the first newspaper in the world and the first one to have printed newspapers. China has a history of nearly 1300 years of running a feudal society. However, such a long history of running newspapers in China is far behind that of the development of the modern newspapers. Regrettable, sigh aside, we do not forget to compare our ancient news dissemination to do some research.
