《时务报》是真正意义上由中国人创立的第一份报纸,它是由一批主张“维新”的爱国主义仁人志士创办的,并成为维新派最重要的舆论场和思想表达阵地。著名报人汪康年参与了《时务报》的创办,在他的主持和经营管理之下,该报发展盛极一时,成为当时最具影响力的报纸之一。可以毫不夸张地说汪康年是当时《时务报》成功创办最关键的因素之一,他在推进维新变法、开通社会风气方面发挥了积极的作用,在中国新闻发展史上亦具有重要意义。 “Current Affairs Newspaper” is the first newspaper founded by the Chinese people in the true sense. It was founded by a group of patriotic people with lofty ideals, and became the most important position of public opinion and expression of the reformists. Wang Kangnian, a famous newspaper reporter, took part in the founding of “Current Affairs Newspaper.” Under his auspices and management, the newspaper flourished and became one of the most influential newspapers at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Kangnian was one of the most crucial factors in the successful establishment of “Current Affairs Newspaper” at that time. He played a positive role in advancing reform and opening up a social atmosphere and was also of great significance in the history of news in China.
