第三世界国家的科技传播

第三世界人民渴望科学 ,媒体在科学信息社会化、大众化的历程中 ,肩负着义不容辞的重任。另一方面 ,科学的社会化传播 ,离不开新闻记者与科学家的不断交流和沟通 ,也离不开知识的民主化和新技术的普及。只有调动科学家积极参与科学传播 ,和记者学会正确传播科学 ,科学才能真正服务于社会。     

传播之“路”上的媒介技术进化与媒介形态演变

随媒介技术的进化演进而来的传播信道,始终处于人类传播活动的核心地位。从不断演进的传播信道角度可将人类社会先后出现的传播形式大体归纳为道路传播、纸路传播和电路传播,与此相对应的媒介形态就有实物媒介、纸质媒介和电子媒介。同时,在媒介技术进化的过程中既暗含着不断演变的媒介时空辩证关系,又意味着传播和媒介的含义逐渐被狭义化的必然之势。因此,本文将以传播信道演进的历史轨迹为主线,并批判地运用麦克卢汉主义的唯技术史观分析人类传播活动的时空辩证关系、梳理三种传播形式和媒介形态的演变历程。
