摘　　要：本文借鉴概念史研究思路,通过系统的历史语义分析发现,数字新闻这一概念存在两条完全不同的语义脉络:数字新闻作为本土概念,首次提出于1936年,指的是以数字信息为主体的新闻,即内容取向;2010年后,它被学者用于翻译digital news/journalism,语义完全改变,指向数字化新闻,即技术取向。在中国的语境中,这两条语义的整体发展趋势是,前者逐渐被弃用,后者逐渐有限推广开来。数字新闻仍只是一个被有限接纳的概念,它主要在特定学术社群中使用,没有大规模扩展至新闻行业和日常生活领域。这可能跟“数字新闻”这一概念缺乏独特性,无法与“新闻”一词形成话语差异紧密相关。当前,技术取向的数字新闻进入新一轮语义生成期,背后彰显的是数字时代新闻学研究范式之争。Drawing on conceptual history research ideas,a systematic historical semantic analysis reveals that there are two completely different semantic vectors for the concept of shuzi xinwen:shuzi xinwen is an indigenous concept,first introduced in 1936,which refers to news that is predominantly digital information,i.e.,content oriented;after 2010,it was used by scholars to translate digital news/journalism with a complete change in semantics,i.e.,a technological orientation.In the Chinese context,the overall development trend of these two semantics is that the former is gradually being abandoned and the latter is slowly spreading out in a limited way.Shuzi xinwen remains a concept that is only partially accepted,primarily used within specific academic communities without expanding on a large scale to the journalism industry or everyday life.This may be closely related to the lack of uniqueness of the concept of“shuzi xinwen”as a discursive differentiation from the term“xinwen”.At present,technologically-oriented shuzi xinwen has entered a new round of semantic generation period,behind which is manifested the dispute of journalism research paradigm in the digital era.
