随着出版行业转企改制工作的深化,民营文化公司发展日渐蓬勃,加之新媒体业态的变革,出版行业取得了跨越式发展,不仅出版总量逐年递增,且传统出版和数字出版间融合趋势日益增强,呈现出极大活力。在各家出版机构争先依靠提高出版规模来谋求发展的前提下,编辑的任务量亦空前提高,早已由从前一年三五本书增至一二十甚至二三十本。且现在一本书从选题策划、组稿、审校、设计、排版、印制到上市后的宣传,编辑都得一竿子插到底——全程负责,每天忙得不可开交是常态,一提开会头疼不已,遑论关注行业动态,探讨出版理论,撰写行业论文。加之企业化管理后,许多机构对编辑的考核指标中并无职称要求,如此一来,编辑无暇也无心顾及充电,出版机构注重经济考核指标,有意无意地忽略了对编辑的培养。尽管上级主管部门每年仍会举办不同的培训班,若不是非参加不可的,出版机构是不会轻易让编辑参加的。客观地看,对编辑培养的忽视,与组织和个人认识上的偏差不无关联。此外,由于出版行业的微利,加之图书并非日常生活必需品,市场容量有限,绝非埋头苦干加大产量,就能实现大规模的增长。尽管编辑一年到头忙碌不休,付出多多,所得却不尽如人意。因此,这些年来,业内有舆论将出版行业留不住男编辑、从业人员女多男少的趋势归结于此。上述所提,皆老生常谈,但又是切实关涉整个行业持续、健康发展的根本问题,如果只将其作为“存在即合理”视之,长此以往,出版行业内在的发展动力势必受到影响。当然,时代在发展,出版行业也在不断调整中寻找更好的出路。有问题并不可怕,关键在于与时俱进,用新思维去理性地认识,以四两拨千斤的心态将看似不利的形态转变为新的发展动力。本刊此次邀请5位嘉宾对此进行探讨,希望能透过对这些“比较老”的问题的分析,挖掘一些更契合当下,更具正能量的“比较新”的观点和建议,开阔出版业同仁的视角,以求提升自我,获得更多的职业自信力。 With the deepening of restructuring of the publishing industry to private enterprises, the development of private cultural companies is booming. Along with the change of the format of new media, the publishing industry has achieved leapfrog development. Not only the total amount of publications has been increasing year by year, but also the trend of convergence between traditional publishing and digital publishing is increasingly Enhanced, showing great vitality. Under the precondition that the publishing houses are striving for development by relying on the enhancement of their publishing scale, the editors’ workload has also risen to an unprecedented level from the 35 or so books of the previous year to one to 20 or even 20 to 30 books. And now a book from the topic planning, group draft, review, design, layout, printing to the publicity after the listing, editors have a pole plug in the end - full responsibility for the daily busy, it is normal, a meeting Headaches endless, regardless of industry trends, discuss publishing theory, writing industry papers. Coupled with the management of enterprises, many agencies have no job title requirements for editorial performance indicators. As a result, editors have no time or care to take charge of them. Publishers pay attention to the indicators of economic evaluation and ignore the editors’ training consciously or unconsciously. Although the higher authorities still hold different training courses each year, if it is not non-participation, the publishing agencies will not easily allow editors to participate. Objectively speaking, the ignorance of editorial training is not unrelated with the deviation of organizational and personal understanding. In addition, due to the meager profits of the publishing industry, together with the fact that books are not necessities of daily life and the market has limited capacity, it is by no means hardworking to increase output to achieve large-scale growth. Although the editor is busy throughout the year, paying a lot, the income is not satisfactory. Therefore, over the years, there has been a consensus in the industry that the publishing industry can not afford to retain male editors. All of the above mentioned are commonplace, but they are also fundamental issues that are of real concern for the sustained and healthy development of the entire industry. If we just consider this as the “existence is reasonable”, the inherent impetus for the development of the publishing industry will be affected in the long run. Of course, the times are developing, and the publishing industry is constantly looking for a better way out. The problem is not terrible. The key lies in advancing with the times and rationally recognizing it with new ideas. It is necessary to change the seemingly unfavorable form into a new impetus for development with a resolute attitude. We invited five guests to discuss this issue and hope that through the analysis of these “old” issues, we can tap into some of the more “new” perspectives that are more in line with the current situation and with more positive energy. Suggestions, broaden the perspective of colleagues in the publishing industry in order to enhance themselves and gain more professional confidence.
