“小报”这个名词,最早出现于宋代。南宋兵部侍郎周鳞之所著《海陵集》中,有一篇奏章《论禁小报》,其中说:“小报者,出于进奏院,盖邸吏辈为之也。”我们今天所说的“小报”,习惯上有两种解释。一种是就报纸的版式而言,对开四版的报纸一般都叫“大报”,四开以下的报纸一般都叫“小报”。如果按这种解释,那末我国早期的报纸都是小报,因为我国早期的报纸都同书籍形式差不多,一直到十九世纪末,才开始出现单张印刷,篇幅也只有四开报那么大,直到进入二十世纪以后,才开始有对开大报出现。所以单纯从报纸版式的大小来区分大报或小报,是不科学的。另一种解释是从内容方面来区别,那就不是三言两语所能说清楚的了。我国早期的报纸,内容注重在评论和新闻。办报人出于某种动机,对当时的政治和时事,发表各自的见解,抑扬褒贬,畅所欲言。但这种言论,往往与统治者发生矛盾,因此常常受到统治阶层的干涉和制约。戊戌前后,朝政不纲,国势凌夷,统治者益发昏愦无知,一味以钳制舆论为能事。士大夫中一部分受 The term “tabloid” first appeared in Song Dynasty. In the “Hailing Collection” written by Zhou Lingzhi, the assistant minister of the Southern Song and Song Dynasties, there was a memorial to the “tabloid of the Forbidden City,” in which he said: “The tabloid, out of the courtyard, Tabloid ”, there are two kinds of habits used to explain. One is that in terms of newspaper format, the newspapers that open the fourth edition are generally called “big newspapers,” and the newspapers under the four newspapers are generally called “tabloids.” According to this explanation, the early newspapers in our country were tabloids. Because the newspapers in our country were similar to those in the form of books until the end of the nineteenth century, there was only a single page printed, only four newspapers in size, After the twentieth century, it started to appear as a separate newspaper. Therefore, it is unscientific to separate large newspapers or tabloids solely from the size of newspapers. Another explanation is to distinguish from the content, it is not a few words to make it clear. The early newspapers in our country focused on commentary and news. The newspaper reporter out of some motives, on the prevailing political and current events, express their own opinions, inhibitions of praise and criticism, speak their minds. However, such remarks often contradict the rulers and are therefore frequently subject to interference and restriction by the ruling class. Before and after the Hundred and eight centuries, the DPRK and the DPRK did not occupy any position in the DPRK and their country was over-handed. The rulers became increasingly unconscious and blindly suppressed public opinion. Scholar part of the subject
