本文从2021年近30种中文学术期刊（包括港台地区）遴选出在研究问题、观点视角以及论证方式等方面较为创新的新闻学论文，并从新闻学研究的本体论创新与认识论变革、中国新闻业研究、新闻生产的多元行动者、新闻学基本概念的阐发与流变、数字媒介语境下的新闻接受研究以及新闻史研究等六个话题勾勒过去一年中国新闻学研究的知识版图。研究发现，2021年中国新闻学研究的主要特点呈现在以下三个方面：其一，过去一年，研究者们就中国新闻学研究元问题的讨论与反思继续深入，目前已在学科建设、理论体系以及概念流变等方面形成多层次、多维度的专题阐发；其二，研究者对中国新闻实践研究几个子领域（中国新闻业、新闻生产以及新闻接受者等）的聚焦坚持经典议题与视角创新并重，力图呈现数字媒介语境下中国新闻生态所面临的机遇、挑战与复杂性；其三，新闻史研究延续了过去一年的学术话题和理论视角，研究者们基于中国近代政治-社会语境，就报刊阅读史、媒介传播网络以及职业新闻/观念实践等议题展开深入探讨。

This paper selects innovative journalism studies in terms of research problems, perspectives and argumentation methods from nearly 30 Chinese academic journals (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) in 2020. This paper analyzes six topics about ontological innovation and epistemological reform of journalism research, Chinese journalism research, multiple actors of news production, the elucidation and evolution of the basic concepts of journalism, news receive research in the context of digital media and the research of journalism history which outline the main knowledge territory of Chinese journalism research in the past year. It is found that the main characteristics of Chinese journalism research in 2021 are shown in the following three aspects: firstly, in the past year, researchers continued to deepen the discussion and reflection on the meta problems of Chinese journalism research. At present, multi-level and multi-dimensional thematic analysis has been formed in the aspects of discipline construction, theoretical system and concept evolution; Secondly, the researchers focus on several sub fields of Chinese journalism practice research(i.e. Chinese journalism, news production, news receivers, etc.), adhere to the equal emphasis on classical topics and perspective innovation, and strive to present the challenges, opportunities and complexity of Chinese journalism ecology in the context of digital media; Thirdly, the study of journalism history continues the academic topics and theoretical perspectives of the past year. Based on the political and social context of modern China, researchers have carried out more in-depth discussions on the history of newspaper reading, media communication network and professional journalism/concept practice.
