A Brief Discussion of the Relationship between News and Daily Life
News activities are inherent human activities,and news needs are basic human needs.News activity is a natural part of the daily world,a part of daily activities throughout human history.Besides,news activity is a daily activity that can surpass any artificial media mediation,and it is also a daily activity with the longest history.Professional journalistic activities do not and cannot replace the natural journalistic activities and"life-oriented"journalistic activities in the daily life world.In today's information society and digitalized environment,news activities are becoming more and more closely intertwined with people's daily lives.Accordingly,the relationship between news activities and people's daily lives has become an increasingly important aspect of journalism.However,in contemporary research of contemporary Chinese journalism,scholars have focused extensively on the relationship between news and politics,economy,and culture,and there still has been a noticeable lack of attention given to the relationship between news and daily life.This oversight poses a clear deficiency in constructing a comprehensive independent knowledge system of contemporary Chinese journalism.Recognizing this gap,this paper uses the method of analyzing and interpreting to initiate a preliminary discussion on the relationship between news and daily life from three aspects:daily(life)news itself,daily news and non-daily news,and the relationship between non-daily news and daily life,and puts forward these main insights as follows.Firstly,daily news is the life news that people spontaneously and consciously communicate and exchange in their daily lives,and it is the news about daily life itself and the changes in its surrounding environment.In the process of exchanging daily news,people create opportunities for leisure and chatting,create the possibility of mutual communication and understanding,and using daily news as medium to construct or maintain a certain kind of relationship in life.Secondly,daily life news has different production and communication subjects,different communication content and methods,and different functional roles and goals from professional news and other non-professional news.Thirdly,non-daily news is the basic medium for people to communicate with each other in different life worlds,and it is also the key medium for communicating between the daily life world and the non-daily life world.Finally,the complete news world is composed of all news phenomena and news activities,and the complete symbolic world of news is jointly composed of daily news and non-daily news.To truly understand the news world and reveal the inner law of human news activities,it is necessary to explore the mystery of the complete news world.In a word,this paper believes that the relationship between human beings and news is the overall relationship in news activities,and the problem of the relationship between human beings and news is the general problem of journalism.And the relationship between news and daily life is the foundation of the relationship between people and news,which is an important research object that journalism should pay attention to and should be an indispensable part of building a complete and independent knowledge system of contemporary Chinese journalism.
