本文从关于新闻学的两个争论入手,阐述了新闻学为了能够在学林立足,在向人文学科寻找支持受挫后转向了科学。而在互联网时代媒介环境发生颠覆式变革的情况下,新闻学一方面被逐渐推向显学的位置;另一方面却又对自身学术含量的提升和学科创新发展充满焦虑。而且在研究范式未立的情况下,不得不迎接即将开始的新一轮范式革命。历史和现实的因素,有力地推动了新闻学科学化的进程,其特征包括数学化、实验化等。但科学化的悖论在于,新闻学不可能祛价值化,无法摆脱自身固有的人文与政治属性,科学化的努力注定要走回头路。但这并不构成否定科学化的理由,只要是以问题为先导、回应时代关切的探索都是有益的。坚持人文为体、科学(方法)为用,真正回归人本身,实现人文性和科学性在新闻学体内的融合并存,是新闻学未来创新发展的方向。 Starting with the two debates on journalism, this essay illustrates that journalism turned to science in order to be able to gain a foothold in the field of science and frustrate the search for a humanities discipline. However, under the circumstance of subversive changes in the media environment in the Internet era, journalism has been gradually pushed to the position of significant school on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has become full of anxiety about the improvement of its academic content and innovation and development of disciplines. And in the case of research paradigm is not established, had to meet the forthcoming new round of paradigm revolution. The factors of history and reality have effectively promoted the progress of journalism science, its characteristics include mathematics and experiment. However, the paradox of science lies in the fact that it is impossible for journalism to be democratized, that it can not get rid of its own inherent humanistic and political attributes, and that its scientific endeavor is doomed to go backwards. However, this does not constitute a reason for the negation of scientification. So long as it is based on the question, exploration in response to the concerns of the times is all beneficial. It is the direction of innovation and development of journalism in the future that adherence to humanities as a body, science (method), true return to human beings and realization of the coexistence of humanism and science in journalism.
