报纸编辑工作的特点之一是,需要编排版面。一般初学编辑的青年,往往一来就被版面吸引住,总想很快学会组版技术。几个月下来,能够初步画画版样了,又觉得这也没有什么了不起,并不太难。我认为,这种心理至少有一个好处,就是可以由浅入深,逐步提高学好编辑工作的信心,不致一开始就感到无从措手。因为编辑工作的内容,简单地可以分为思想性和技术性两项。比起选择稿件、修改稿件和制作标题来,排版的技术性多一些,因而比较使人感兴趣,也比较容易学。不过,倘使我说报纸版面是一个系统工程,它是整个编辑部的思想水平和劳动成果的体现,用得着编辑的全部思想修养、知识修养和业务修养,而且全部使出来还总是不够用,那大概不算是夸大其词。所以,编排版面是思想性和技术性的结合。但按照毛泽东同志的观点,编排的思想性和技巧性是两码事,那又不妨把组版术单独抽出来谈一谈。 One of the hallmarks of newspaper editors is the need to format the layout. Generally beginner editors tend to be attracted by the layout, always want to quickly learn group technology. A few months down, able to initial drawing version, but also think this is nothing remarkable, not too difficult. In my opinion, there is at least one benefit to this psychology. That is, we can gradually improve the confidence to learn the editorial work step by step, without becoming blind at the outset. Because editorial content, simply can be divided into two kinds of ideological and technical. Compared with the choice of manuscripts, editing manuscripts and making titles, typesetting more technical, and therefore more interesting, but also easier to learn. However, if I say that the newspaper layout is a systematic project, it is a manifestation of the ideological level and labor achievements of the entire editorial department, and it requires all the editors’ ideological, intellectual and professional accomplishments, and it is always not enough to make it out , That probably is not exaggerated. Therefore, layout layout is a combination of ideological and technical. However, according to Comrade Mao Tse-tung’s point of view, the ideological and technical skills of the arrangement are two different things. Then, one may wish to discuss the group version separately.
