从1980年以来,我国新闻界一直在思考、酝酿制定一部新闻法,至今已有三部内部征求意見稿.在征求意見的过程中,存在争议。主要分歧有:新闻法应当与当前实际已经做到的完全同步还是可以“适度超前”;对“新闻自由”要不要界定,如何界定;是否允许民办报纸;有关舆论监督内容的稿件要不要经过上级领导的审批,如果要审批,有关上级领导负不负法律责任;非党报是否必须宣传党的路线、方针、政策,如此等等。有不同意见是正常的。真理越辩越明。一部社会主义的符合新闻规律的新闻法,将会通过民主、公开的讨论而诞生。本刊从这期起特辟《新闻立法自由谈》专栏,欢迎新闻界内外各方人士就此问题写稿投寄本刊,让相左的意見、不同的观点,在这里争鸣、碰撞、交流。由于本刊篇幅有限,内容较多,在这个专栏,我们提倡长话短说,多发短稿,每篇只谈一个问题或一个侧面,以容纳较多的同志发表意見。 Since 1980, our country’s press has been thinking about and formulating a press law, so far there are three internal draft for comments. During the process of seeking opinions, there is a dispute. The main differences are: whether the press law should fully synchronize with what has actually been done or whether it can be “moderately advanced”; whether or not to define the “press freedom”; whether to allow private newspapers; and whether manuscripts concerning the contents of media supervision should go through higher levels If the examination and approval of the leadership is to be examined and approved, the leadership at the higher level should not bear the legal responsibility; if the non-Party newspaper must propagate the party’s line, principles and policies, and so on. Different opinions are normal. The truth is clearer and clearer. A socialist press law that meets the laws of journalism will be born through democratic and open discussions. Since this issue, we have published a special column titled “Freedom of Legislation on the Press and Legislation.” We welcome people from both inside and outside the press to write articles for publication on this issue so that different views and different opinions can be contested, collided and exchanged here. Due to the limited length and content of this magazine, in this column, we advocate long-short stories and multiple short articles, each of which addresses only one issue or one aspect to accommodate more comrades.
