一我在评论课上讲到评论的选题,总是将选题的类型分成“事件性选题”“非事件性选题”和“周期性选题”来讲的。但我现在则更为清晰地意识到,与那些不同选题类型所标志的外在特点相比,不同议题的产生过程、途径,以及议题设置的主体,可能才是更为重要的。也就是:到底是谁向公众提起了某个议题,让人们关注、思考某个事物?是具有强大传播力的新闻媒体,还是那个静观默察的评论作者? One of the topics I mentioned in the commentary class is always the type of topic that is divided into “event topic ” “non-event topic ” and “periodic topic ” . But I now more clearly realize that the subject of the different issues, their processes, and the subject set-up, may be even more important than the external features identified by the different types of topics. In other words, who is raising an issue to the public, letting people pay attention to something and thinking about it? Is it a news media with a strong communicative power or is it an authoritatively silent reviewer?
