关于“新闻自由”的问题,是新闻改革中争论比较多的问题。在去年波及全国的“北京风波”中,它作为一个游行口号打到了社会上去。在阅读了有关“新闻自由”的某些论述之后,也引起了我的思考,本文拟发三点议论,供同行们参考。第一,抽象化与具体化。考察主张所谓“新闻自由”的人,往往把它抽象化,不多具体说出他们究竟想要什么样的“新闻自由”。实际上,新闻自由同其他任何自由一样,从来就是具体的,没有抽象的。 The issue of “freedom of the press” is a controversial issue in the news reform. In the “Beijing Storm” that spread throughout the country last year, it hit the society as a parade slogan. After reading some of the expositions on “freedom of the press,” I also aroused my thoughts. This article is intended to make three comments for reference by colleagues. First, abstraction and concretization. People who examine the so-called “freedom of the press” often abstain from abstaining from specifying exactly what kind of “press freedom” they really want. In fact, freedom of the press, like any other freedom, has always been concrete and not abstract.
