旧上海是全国新闻事业最为发达的城市,据统计,在1927年到1937年间,上海出版发行的报刊杂志量已达全国出版发行量的80%以上。上海滩所出报纸之多,以及由此而生的报摊、报贩之众,在市中心区可谓已达到触目能见的地步。然而,尽管报纸、报摊、报贩似已有铺天盖地之势,但是广大劳苦大众因生活艰难、文化不高,一般都不大会花钱去买报看,而整个社会则有消费习惯、爱好的差异以及较远地区交通不便、购买报纸不易等等方面的具体问题,因此,报纸的阅读在人口已达200多万以上的整个大上海来说,还远未普及,也即在广大的地区内大多数人实际和报纸的关系并不密切, Old Shanghai is the most developed city in the country for journalism. According to statistics, between 1927 and 1937, the volume of newspapers and periodicals published and circulated in Shanghai has reached more than 80% of the national circulation. As many newspapers on the beach as well as the resulting newsstands and newspaper vendors, the downtown area has reached its eyebrows. However, although the newspapers, newsstands and newspaper vendors seem to be overwhelming, the majority of the working-class people are generally not spending money on newspaper reports because of their hard life and low culture. The whole society, on the other hand, has a habit of spending and likes Differences and the problems of traffic inconvenience in the more remote areas and difficulties in buying newspapers, etc. Therefore, the reading of newspapers is still far from universal in the entire Greater Shanghai, which has a population of more than 2 million, that is, within a vast area Most people actually do not have a close relationship with the newspaper.
