熊希龄(1870—1937年),字秉三,湖南凤凰人,是中国近代史上一位有政治和社会影响的人物。本文谨就其在近代新闻事业上的活动和贡献,作一简要介绍。一、创办近代报纸 1898年,在全国维新运动高涨之际,湖南出版了闻名全国的《湘报》。这是湖南近代史上创办最早的近代报纸。《湘报》就是由熊希龄手创的。然而现有研究湖南维新运动的著述,但凡提到《湘报》,都只突出了谭嗣同.与唐才常,对熊希龄则很少有具体的论列,有的甚至连他的名字都不提。这显然与事实不符。 Xiong Xiling (1870-1937), the word Bing three, Hunan Phoenix people, is a modern Chinese history of a politically and socially influential figure. This article is just a brief introduction of its activities and contributions to journalism in modern times. First, the founding of modern newspapers In 1898, on the occasion of the nationwide revival movement going up, Hunan published the famous “Xiang Bao”. This is the earliest modern newspaper founded in Hunan modern history. “Xiang Bao” is created by Xiong Xiling. However, the existing research on the reform movement in Hunan shows that only Tan Sitong has been mentioned in the “Xiang Bao” .There are few specific articles about Tang Xichang and Xiong Xiling, and some do not even mention his name. This is obviously not true.
