观点的市场——另一角度看报纸言论版

报纸言论版是一个争鸣辩驳的声音广场,是一个话题多元的信息集散地,是一个＂处士横议＂的对话平台。受众主动而积极地获知言论,不是为了接受其中的观点,而是为了解这些观点。受众看重的是言论这种样式,和新闻报道一样含有丰富而有用的信息。在此意义上,言论版面正是埃默里父子形容的＂观点的市场＂,从这一角度看,言论也是一种＂新闻＂。

The opinion page is a square full of debate and contend,a distributing centre of pluralistic information and,a dialogue platform. Audience reads opinions and expressions of newspapers actively to investigate the opinions,but not to accept them. Sense People pay attention to the opinions and expressions containing abundant and useful information like reports. In this sense,opinion pages are the ‘market of opinions’described by Michael Emery and Edwin Emery. And from this point,opinions and expressions are‘news’.
