中文摘要：

在新媒体技术改变新闻传播社会关系、全球化浪潮促进国际话语权争夺以及建设和谐社会呼吁对话意识的新语境下,新闻的＂事实＂＂报道＂＂信息＂等传统定义,存在忽略多元传播主体,排拒价值立场意义,局限于大众传播模式等问题,导致其不适应新语境下的新闻现实实践与职业需求。本文以符号叙述学为理论视野,建议将新闻的定义修补为＂关于新近发生或发现的事实的符号叙述＂,同时还强调了新闻与其他文体相区别的＂纪实性＂＂时新性＂与＂公开性＂品质。

英文摘要：

In the new context created by new media, globalisation and the construction of a harmonious society, defining news based on facts, reporting and information neglects the diversity of subjects, rejects the standpoint of social values and confines k to the mode of mass communication. This makes the news inadaptable to updated practices and career requirements. This paper proposes redefining the concept of news as ＂the semiotic narration of newly occurred or discovered facts ＂. Furthermore, it emphasises how characteristics such as ＂factuality＂, ＂ timeliness＂ and ＂publicity＂ distinguish the news from other genres.
