走向公共：新闻专业主义再出发
Going Public: Journalistic Professionalism Revisited

摘要 随着新信息技术的广泛应用，媒体业态以及相应的传播生态正在发生深刻变化，新闻业因此“面临危机”。新闻业何去何从？新闻专业主义这一职业意识形态是否仍具有现实的相关性？本文认为，新闻专业主义仍然具有规范新闻实践的重大意义，原因在于，新闻业为民主的公共生活所不可或缺，新闻专业主义蕴含理性交往模式，构成民主的公共生活。在人人生产并通过社交媒体分享信息的“技术民主”当中，新闻专业主义需要以理性交往模式为“元传播范本”展开重新阐释，并以之与现实条件相勾连。本文梳理了当下业界和学界关涉新闻专业主义的表述，借助不同学科的社会和文化理论，重新阐发了新闻专业主义的内涵和意义，以及在新的传播生态中再出发的可能及路径。
With the advent of new information technologies, media industries and the communication ecology have been changing significantly; correspondingly, journalism is in flux. What is the future of journalism? Is journalistic professionalism still viable or even relevant? We argue that journalistic professionalism continues to be a relevant normative framework for journalistic practices. The reason is that journalism is necessary for a democratic mode of public life, namely civic life, and journalistic professionalism is rooted in rational communicative actions that constitute the civic life. In the era of “technological democracy” where everybody could produce information and distribute it via social media, however, journalistic professionalism needs to be re-articulated with the changing situations, using the model of communicative actions as a “template of meta-communication.” Based on careful reviews of various expressions on journalistic professionalism by scholars and practitioners of journalism and an integration of social and cultural theories from various disciplines, this paper stipulates the substance of journalistic professionalism, the possibilities and practical routes of articulating it with the new conditions
