摘要:中国进入转型期以来,在新闻传播学研究领域进行了上百回的大小学术论争,从中折射出新闻传播实践中出现的复杂矛盾,折射出改革开放进程所带来的巨大变化。基于对1978年以来的学术文献的数量统计,可以发现学术论争的主题是与时俱进的,在30年历史发展过程中凸现过3个数量上的高峰,论争的焦点问题长期主要集中于传统的新闻理论和业务部分,集中发表在少数的核心期刊,但是已然显示出向其他方面渗透扩散的时代趋势。生态学视野下的学术论争具有多样性的价值,发挥着集体记忆、学术传承的效果;维护良好的学术生态,对于理论创新和学术繁荣具有重要的意义。

Abstract: Over 100 academic controversies have been taken placed back and forth in the field of Journalism and Communication Studies, Since China entered into the social transformation period. All these debates shed light on the complicated contradiction of the practical reality of media and communication and huge changes driven by the “Reform and Open” policy in mainland China. Based on quantitative analysis of the academic literature from 1978, the key themes of debating can be shown clearly and 3 peaks can be found in the historical processes. The controversial question usually focus on the theoretical and practical questions in journalism and published mainly on some kernel academic journal, however, penetrated into other research fields, as a timeline trend indicated. Any academic controversies have the value of cultural diversity, collective memory and academic heritage from the ecological point of view and a healthy academic ecology will be an asset for academic innovation and prosperity.
