为了努力开创新闻工作新局面,把《辽宁日报》办成一张具有时代精神、地方色彩、独特风格的省报,这家报纸从九月上旬起,开展以“创新竞赛”为中心内容的新闻改革。《辽宁日报》近几年来坚持进行新闻改革,使报纸面貌不断发生变化。但是,随着客观形势的发展和读者需要的变化,他们深深感到面临着新的挑战。为了进一步把报纸办好,他们八月份在报纸上公开刊登启事,征求读者意见,一个月内收到读者意见书达一万多份。从这些意见中,编辑部总结了自己五个方面的差距:旧、窄、平、浅、板。“旧”,就是对社会主义现代化建设中和人民群众生活中出现的许多问题提出不够,许多问题是老生常谈。“窄”,就是报道面、知识面、联系群众面狭窄,报纸内容、题材单一化。“平”,就是平平庸庸,引不起读者兴趣的“中不溜”新闻太多,尖锐泼辣,有震动的新闻和批评太少。“浅”,就是有些问题虽然提得不错,但是深度不够,缺乏理论色 In an effort to create a new situation in journalism, Liaoning Daily is transformed into a provincial newspaper featuring the spirit of the times, local colors and unique style. Since early September, this newspaper has been carrying out news of “innovation competition” as the center reform. In recent years, “Liaoning Daily” has insisted on carrying out news reform so that the outlook of the newspaper keeps changing. However, as the objective situation changes and the needs of readers change, they feel deeply challenged by new challenges. In order to further improve the efficiency of the newspapers, they published public notices in the newspapers in August and solicited the views of readers. Within a month, they received over 10,000 readers’ comments. From these comments, the editorial board summed up their own five gaps: old, narrow, flat, shallow, board. The “old” is not sufficient for many problems that have arisen in the course of socialist modernization and in the general public’s life. Many of the problems are clichés. “Narrow” is the coverage, knowledge, the narrow contact with the masses, the contents of the newspaper, the subject matter of a single. “Flat” means mediocre mediocrity. Too much news, which can not attract readers’ interest, is too sharp, pungent and shocking. There are too few news and criticisms. “Shallow” means that although some questions are not bad, they are not deep enough and lack theoretical color
