李白“拍马”的屈辱（杂文）

《开元天宝遗事》中记载了这样一段有趣的故事：一次唐玄宗李隆基在便殿与众学士议论前朝用人得失。玄宗问李白：“我与天后（武则天）的用人有什么不同？”李白答道：“天后用人好像小孩子买瓜．不选有味的,只要那些肥大的：陛下用人,则好比沙里淘金,剖石采玉,取的都是精华啊!”玄宗听了乐得哈哈大笑：“爱卿真会说话。”     

南京沦陷前期的“市民证”与户籍制度

前不久，笔者到台湾收集南京大屠杀的史料，不经意问，在台湾“国史馆”浩如烟海的档案中，看到一张日伪时期的南京市民证。 只见这张市民证上贴着证件持有人的肖像照，旁边的文字是中、日文混用。其中的中文文字是：“市民证第17331号姓名章君质年龄三十二岁住所门东边营十一号职业教育昭和十五年、民国二十九年二月一日南京特务机关、南京特别市政府”；

“三跪九叩”的国礼

“跪拜礼”是中国古代封建社会中使用时间最长、最频繁的一种基本礼节。中国古代社会早期,人们尚不知桌椅为何物,那时帝王、老百姓皆席地而坐,这就是所谓的“两膝着地,以尻著踵而安者为坐”。这种坐姿对于行跪拜礼是很方便的,“伸腰及股而势危者为跪,因跪而益至其恭,以头着地为拜”。跪拜作为一种礼节,自然而然地得以巩固。这种情景在受中国古代文化影响甚深的当今日本还能看到。日本人在“榻榻米”上“两膝着地,以尻著踵而安者为坐”,当他们要表示敬意而欠动身体时,就“伸腰及股而势危,以头着地”,很自然地就构成了一个跪拜的动作。     

试析《市民与社会》节目中的“市民”角色

《市民与社会》给市民提供了一个在大众媒体上发表个人意见的平台。在这个平台上,市民可以和政府部门官员对话、彼此交流公共政策或价值观。本文探讨了市民在《市民与社会》节目构建中承担的角色和发挥的作用。笔者通过研究发现,民意是《市民与社会》节目获得政府和官员重视的基础,同时,节目吸引政府官员参与后,吸引更多市民听众和参与者。市民、媒介、政府三者之间形成良性循环和良好互动。     

市民报财经新闻的“三性”

在传统的主流报纸中，经济新闻长期占据着重要的地位。这是因为，“发展是硬道理”，党和政府多年来致力于改革开放，致力于发展经济。相应的，党的机关报更多地将目光聚焦在经济发展之上，不仅关注经济管理体制改革，而且也将非常多的精力和笔墨放在企业内部的深化改革、技术创新、观念更新以及相应的经营成就之上，在写作上追求深度和高度，强调工作性和指导性。 而在早期的都市类市民报中，经济新闻一开始并没有得到足够的重视。首先是因为传统的经济新闻并不像社会新闻那样具有故事性，可读性稍弱。其次，传统的经济新闻因为写     

对“市民记者”概念的质疑

本文对近年来新闻界出现的“市民记者”这一概念提出质疑,认为“记者”概念的形成过程就是新闻传播的职业化过程;作为职业的“记者”,在新闻传播层面和法律层面都具有不可替代的特征.而“市民记者”既不具备记者在新闻学层面应有的特征,也有违法律对记者的界定,因此是不成立的.     

THE CONTINGENCIES OF ORDINARY CITIZEN APPEARANCES IN POLITICAL TELEVISION NEWS

While few would deny the crucial role of citizens in democratic governance, there are still only a few studies that focus on ordinary citizens’ inclusion in political news coverage. First, we present a number of factors conditioning ordinary citizens’ appearances in the news. Second, based on the discussion of these factors, we formulate a number of research questions. After conducting an extensive content analysis covering almost 6000 actors appearing in political news coverage in the two major Danish broadcasters, DR1 and TV2, between 1994 and 2007, we find that ordinary citizens appear more often in reports on intrusive issues such as welfare, that they appear more often in news items positioned later in the news bulletins, that they, largely speaking, appear more often closer to election day, but that there are almost no differences between commercial and public service broadcasting. These findings are discussed in the light of past research on media source use and the ongoing changing foundations of political communication.     

THINKING ABOUT CITIZEN JOURNALISM

This study seeks to understand how community newspaper editors negotiate the professional complexities posed by citizen journalism—a phenomenon that, even in the abstract, would appear to undermine their gatekeeping control over content. Through interviews with 29 newspaper editors in Texas, we find that some editors either favor or disfavor the use of citizen journalism primarily on philosophical grounds, while others favor or disfavor its use mainly on practical grounds. This paper presents a mapping of these philosophical-versus-practical concerns as a model for visualizing the conflicting impulses at the heart of a larger professional debate over the place and purpose of user-generated content in the news production process. Moreover, these findings are viewed in light of gatekeeping, which, we argue, offers a welcome point of entry for the study of participatory media work as it evolves at news organizations large and small alike. In contributing to a growing body of literature on user-generated content in news contexts, this study points to the need for better understanding the causes and consequences of journalism's hyperlocal turn, as digitization enables newswork to serve increasingly niche geographic and virtual communities.
