今年的报刊发行情况如何?变化原因怎样?这是许多读者关心的问题。为此记者走访了新闻出版署报纸管理司。孟繁六同志回答了提出的问题。问:今年报刊发行情况怎样?与往年有何不同? 答:最新了解的数字表明,今年中央主要报刊征订数均比去年同期有所增长。一些专业性、文化性和省报的订数也有不同幅度的提高。可以说,进入1991年,全国报刊期发总数连续几年“滑坡”的现象终于得到缓解,并出现可喜的回升趋势。今年初与去年初相比,订数增加的报刊如:《求是》杂志今年初比去年初订数增加7万册;《半月谈》系列刊 What is the reason for the change in the distribution of newspapers and magazines this year? This is a question that many readers care about. This reporter visited the Press and Publication Administration Department of newspapers. Comrade Meng Fanli answered the questions raised. Q: What is the issue of newspapers and periodicals this year? What is the difference with previous years? A: The latest figures show that the subscription numbers of major newspapers and periodicals in the central government this year both increased over the same period of last year. Some professional, cultural and provincial newspapers also have different orders of magnitude increase. It can be said that in 1991, the total number of newspapers and periodicals in the country has been “sliding down” for several years in a row and the trend of recovery has finally been eased. Earlier this year compared with the beginning of last year, the number of newspapers with increased subscriptions such as: “Qiushi” magazine earlier this year than the number of early 70,000 increase; “Half Moon Talk” series
