美國媒體對"民主之春"的集體漠視,預示了當代世界普遍的新聞公共性危機,也是民主政治的危機。在市場邏輯和專業主義意識形態主導之下,媒體結構性地偏向城市中產階級和各界精英,忽視普通民眾的聲音,貶抑社會底層的發言權。這背離了平等進入、廣泛參與等公共性原則,使得公共空間等級化、封建化,在一些重大議題上社會不同利益群體的聲音無法有效表達,難以通過辯論和博弈形成共同意志和公共決策。延安時期的新聞大眾化運動踐行"群眾路線"理念,致力于呈現底層民眾的呼聲和需求,構成了一種獨特的現代新聞范式,可作為反思當代媒體狀況的批判性資源,有助于打開新的想象未來的空間。

The collective disregard of US media for the Democratic Spring reflects the crisis of journalistic publicity in contemporary world,which is a part of the crisis of democratic politics.Under the influence of market logic and professionalism ideology,news media demonstrate a structural bias towards the urban middle class and other elites,neglecting the voices of average people.This violation of the principles of equal access and extensive participation results in the classification and feudalization of the public sphere.Common will and public policy are unable to be reached by social debate because various interest groups cannot express themselves efficiently.The popularization movement of journalism in the Yan’an period implemented the concept of mass line,trying to represent the voices and feelings of the unprivileged people.It was an unique paradigm of modern journalism,beneficial to rethink about the condition of contemporary media and imagine the future.
