The Circulation of Newspaper Resources and Learning about Current News and New Knowledge among Scholars in the Late Qing Dynasty
In Late Qing Dynasty,before the emergence of newspaper reading spaces as public reading organizations,the phenomenon of"a newspaper(magazine)for multiple readings"is a cause for concern.A newspaper can have multiple readers by"reusing"it through various means of distribution.Some of the early journalists became readers of the press through their work in newsrooms as editors and translators,the newspapers displayed in the academies,government offices,schools,churches,institutes,book companies and teahouses provided the opportunity for scholars to read.The interaction between scholars was conducive to the sharing of newspaper resources and could produce a"ripple effect"on reading.Newspapers were treated as a scarce resource for those readers who circulated newspapers,through borrowing,giving,sending,and copying,they have been able to close the"distance"between time & space and the newspaper information,and thus can learn about current news and new knowledge of Western studies.The circulation of newspapers became an"event"in their lives and had some influence on their"smooth communication without obstruction".
