媒体知情权是指公民通过媒体了解知道公共事务,特别是有关国家政务信息,以及与自己利益和兴趣有关的各类社会信息的权利。公民隐私权是指公民对以自己纯个人的生活秘密和个人生活自由为内容,禁止他人干涉的一种人身权利。媒体的知情权与公民的隐私权具有天然的抗争性,如何平衡两者之间的冲突,既保护好媒体的知情权,又不伤害公民的隐私权,成为需要进一步探讨和研究的新课题。 The media’s right to know refers to the citizen’s right to know about public affairs through the media, especially on the state government information and all kinds of social information related to his interests and interests. Citizens ’right to privacy refers to citizens’ right to prohibit others from interfering with their life secrets and personal life as their own. The right to information of the media and the privacy of citizens have natural resistance. How to balance the two conflicts is not only protecting the media’s right to information but also not injuring the privacy of citizens, which becomes a new topic that needs to be further explored and studied.
