【摘要】 关于新闻起源问题的探讨印证了人类的新闻需要和新闻活动古已有之的事实。对新闻纸出现之前的"前新闻时代"的文献资料进行梳理,我们发现尽管当时没有专门的新闻载体,也不具备专业的"新闻人",但"前新闻"的存在和活跃状态是毋庸置疑的。然而,现有新闻史对"前新闻现象"只用"口语传播"和"文字传播"简要加以描述,并没有将其存在样态和传播方式完全展现出来。从新闻传播的整个历史进程来看,"新闻史"这个称谓与其实际所涵盖的内容严重不对称,它缺少对"前新闻"和"前新闻现象"的应有集纳。因此,"新闻史"这一名称的合理性令人产生质疑,与其叫做"新闻史",莫不如称其为"新闻媒介史"或干脆叫它"近现代新闻史"更为恰当。更多还原

【Abstract】 The discussion on the origin of news imprinted the fact that humankind has the need for news and related activities for a long time.Carding documents of " previous journalism times" before newsprint paper appeared,we revealed there was neither special news media nor professional " reporter".However,in current journalism history," previous journalism phenomena" are merely described as " oral broadcasting" and " verbal dissemination" and fails to show existing mode and broadcasting method completely.In the whole process of news diffusion," journalism history" is hard to cover its connotation for its shortage of expected collection of " previous journalism" and " previous journalism phenomenon".Therefore," journalism history" the term itself raised many questions for its reasonableness.It seems more appropriate to call it " modern history of journalism" rather than " history of media".更多还原
