从我和文艺说起我离休快一年了。一年来,多次讲话,或者回答来访同志的提问,我都强调一点:新闻报道不要盲目地向文艺靠拢。所谓盲目地,就是不了解新闻与文艺是两个行当,它们的社会职能、工作方法,以及它们的写作,都是不一样的。记者可以兼作家,作家也可以兼记者,但是他在从事这两项工作的时候,应当有明显界限。越是同年轻的同行接触,我越是感到有强调这一点的必要。我感到似乎有一种风气,现在有一些年轻的记者有一点盲目地向文艺靠拢。 Speaking of me and literature and art, I retired almost a year. In the past year or more, as I said many times or in response to questions from visiting comrades, I stress that news coverage should not blindly move closer to literature and art. The so-called blind, that is, do not understand the news and art are two businesses, their social functions, working methods, and their writing, are not the same. Journalists can be writers as well as writers and journalists, but there should be a clear boundary between the two when he is engaged in these two tasks. The more I came into contact with my young counterparts, the more I felt it necessary to emphasize this point. I feel there seems to be a trend, and some young journalists are now blindly moving closer to literature and art.
