新媒体定义新论

本文首先从新媒体定义研究的背景与意义出发,在分析当今学术界和业界对新媒体定义的基础上,试图运用形式逻辑"类加种差"的定义方法,探求新媒体的类别归属和本质特征,提出一个新的新媒体定义,以求抛砖引玉,丰富和完善新媒体的理论建设,促进新媒体实践发展。     

试论新旧媒介的划界

现在传播学界在提到“新媒介”时一般指的是互联网,但是由于新媒介越来越多并且在传播上相互依赖的程度越来越高,以网络指代新媒介已无法清晰地体现出现代传播与传统传播的真正区别。笔者主张突出“数字化,”并以其作为新旧传播形态的分界。     

论新媒介时代的“媒介控制”

文章以麦克卢汉理论视角来观察当前的媒介控制现状,讨论媒介“形式”与“内容”的关系将随着媒介融合生态的出现而体现新的内涵,新媒体的本质是互动和参与,媒介控制的关键不在事后处理而在于准确预见并做好规划,大数据时代的来临将给有效的网络舆论预测提供科学方法.     

Self-Mediation. New Media,Citizenship and Civil Selves

This study examines the attitudes and the selection criteria of U.S. television journalists toward international news. Q factor analysis of 3I journalists from major national networks and local television stations reveals that journalists select international news based on market demands and local relevance. The findings strikingly delineate along the line between network versus local television. Network journalists manifest a global view, selecting international news with diverse themes, while local television journalists adopt a more pragmatic stance due to business pressures and audience demands, choosing international news with a local angle. All, however, emphasize timeliness and U.S. involvement in news selection.

整合传媒:新媒体进行时

整合、融合和汇聚已成为当代传媒形态发展的主流。并存是现象,互补是功能,融合是趋势,创新是结果。作为媒体形态创新的努力,整合传媒在一定程度上代表着今天新媒体的进行时态。     

视听新媒体概述

最近几年,“新媒体”一词,在人们的谈话和媒体报道中出现的频率比较高,新媒体在实践中的发展速度也比较快。为了追踪新媒体发展,满足读者了解和掌握新媒体知识、信息以及发展情况的欲望,从本期开始,我刊特邀请总局发展研究中心新媒体研究所所长董年初,为《专题讲座》栏目撰写文章,介绍新媒体的概况、有关技术以及其与广电媒体的关系。本讲座共六讲,分别是视听新媒体概述;视听新媒体与相关技术;视听新媒体与传统广电媒体的关系;视听新媒体与广电产业发展;视听新媒体与广电节目形态的变化;视听新媒体与广电管理体制改革。希望读者喜欢。     

何为新媒体?

随着基于数字技术的因特网的高速发展,传统媒体面临一场巨大革命.形形色色的新媒体已成为当今世界最重要的信息集散枢纽,它们在建构和谐社会的过程中发挥着越来越重要的作用.但何为新媒体,业界与学界至今没有比较普遍认可的看法.相关研究迫切需要行之有效的概念清理和范式创新.基于这样一种认识,本文在充分研究和剖析了各种新媒体学说的基础上,比较深入地考察了"新媒体"的即时交互、无限兼容等数字媒体特性,倾向于将当下的"新媒体"理解为"以数字媒体为核心的新媒体"--通过数字化交互性的固定或移动的多媒体终端向用户提供信息和服务的传播形态.     

在新媒体时代下传统媒体如何突围

移动互联、智能终端、大数据,代表着新媒体时代的三大特征,它们的融合与交织,共同创造了一个复合型信息消费时代.技术赋权和资本驱动的新媒体展现出巨大的发展潜力,不断对传统媒体进行议程设置.如何在“四面楚歌”的窘境中实现破釜沉舟式的突围,传统媒体应从嫁接新媒体基因的服务理念、迎合“据说时代”的数据开发和渗透新媒体逻辑的模式创新这3个方面寻求重生.
