近两年来,以中央电视台《焦点访谈》《新闻调查》等为代表的中国电视新闻深度报道节目,受到了前所未有的挑战。这些曾经辉煌一时、代表中国电视新闻深度报道最高水准的节目,不但收视率急剧下滑,而且社会影响力也江河日下。何以如此?本文试图以老子“知其白,守其黑”为立足点,从中国传统哲学那里查究原因,并从中追寻思想的力量,以探索提升电视新闻报道的文化价值之道。 In the recent two years, the in-depth coverage of China’s television news coverage represented by the “Focus Interview” and “News Survey” of CCTV has been hitherto an unprecedented challenge. These glorious moments have represented the highest standards of coverage of China’s television news programs. Not only has the ratings dropped sharply, but the social influence has also been on the decline. Why is it? This article tries to take Lao Tze “know the white, keep the dark ” as the foothold, investigate the reason from Chinese traditional philosophy, and pursue the power of thought from it, in order to explore the way to enhance the cultural value of television news report.
