1949年10月1日,新中国诞生了,人民的新闻事业也翻开了新的一页。1950年,全国有铅印报纸382种,1951年就发展到475种,期发总数为700万份左右。经过随后两年的整顿和调整,到1954年10月,全国共有报纸248种,报纸种类减少了,但期发总数却比1950年增加将近3倍。1957年以后,我国新闻事业走了一段曲折的道路,十年“文化大革命”的摧残,影响了它的发展速度。党的十一届三中全会以来,新闻事业进入了“黄金时代”,处在迅速发展阶段。 On October 1, 1949, New China was born, and people’s journalism opened a new page. In 1950, there were 382 kinds of printed newspapers nationwide, 475 kinds in 1951, the total number of about 7 million. After the ensuing two years of rectification and adjustment, by October 1954 there were 248 kinds of newspapers and newspapers in the country with fewer types of newspapers, but the total number of them was nearly three times that of 1950. After 1957, China’s journalism took a tortuous path. The devastation of the “Cultural Revolution” in the past decade has affected its pace of development. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the journalism has entered a “golden age” and is in a stage of rapid development.
