摘　　要：英国殖民统治香港一个半世纪,在香港颁布了大量新闻法规。香港新闻法制的演变大致分成四个阶段,第一阶段是起步期,从1841年到1900年英国奠定殖民统治香港基本格局后,建立了以注册监管为主体的新闻法律制度。第二阶段是发展期,从1900年到1945年二次世界大战结束,制订了有关以内容监管为主体的新闻法规。第三阶段是延续期,从1945年英国恢复对香港殖民统治到1985年《中英联合声明》正式生效前,进一步延续了有关新闻内容监管法规的制订。第四阶段是调整期,从1985年到1997年香港回归祖国前,港英当局为掩盖殖民专制本质,为香港平稳过渡设置障碍,调整和放松了有关新闻媒体管制的法令法规。港英政府的新闻法制建设始终是其殖民统治体制的延伸,但客观上也表现出了积极性的一面。Britain established its colonial rule in Hong Kong over a half century,during which a large number of media law was promulgated.The evolution of the press legal system in Hong Kong can be roughly divided into four stages.The first stage was the period of beginning.British Hong Kong government established the journalism legal system with the main body of Management of newspapers registration from 1841 to 1900.The second was the period of development.The government made laws to control the content of publications from 1900 to 1945.The third was the extensional period.The government continued to develop the laws to manage the content of publications from 1945 to 1985.The final was the period of adjustment.In order to cover up the authoritarian nature of colonial and set up obstacles in Hong Kong's smooth transition,the government lessen controls on the media laws and regulations from 1985 to 1997.In general,the journalist legal system in Hong Kong has always been an extension of British Hong Kong government's system of colonial rule,however,it also has a positive side.
