新闻管理(即国家对新闻的行政管理)是一门科学。只要有新闻和新闻活动,就有新闻管理。然而在过去较长时间里,许多人对管理科学不重视,特別是新闻,政治性很强,又缺乏完善、系统的管理法规,因此,提到新闻和新闻活动,除了指舆论导向,就是讲采编技巧,而把新闻管理置于视野之外,没有给它以应有的重要地位。这种看法是不完整的。舆论导向固然十分重要,采编技巧也不可缺少,但从宏观来看,要使新闻活动能顺利开展,使社会主义的新闻事业能得到发展,需要对整个事业进行合理规划,建立和维护正常的新闻秩序,这就离不开新闻管理工作了。应该说,新闻管理不是游离于新闻活动之外,而 News management (ie the national administration of news) is a science. As long as there is news and news activities, there is news management. However, in the past long time, many people did not attach importance to management science, especially the news. They were highly political and lacked sound and systematic management laws and regulations. Therefore, referring to news and information activities, apart from referring to public opinion, Acquisition techniques, and put the news management beyond the field of vision, did not give it its due importance. This view is incomplete. While the guidance of public opinion is very important, the editing and editing skills are also indispensable. However, from a macro perspective, we should make news activities smoothly and make the socialist journalism develop. We should make rational planning for the entire undertaking and establish and maintain normal news Order, which is inseparable from the news management. It should be said that the management of information is not free from the public information activities
