Abstract

The main points are based on the speech at the Round-table of the Critique of Communication Studies (Hangzhou, 2017). The author holds that the media technology is becoming the dominant force in journalism: the news decays while information rises; the fact contorts while post-truth rises; human shrinks while thing rises; the philosophical rationality sinks while the digital logic rises. The journalism should maintain the critical spirit, and turn the news values to humanism: the imagination of fame should give way to the return of faith, and the journalism should return itself to the intellectuals; the power of professional journalism should belong to human beings, not data and machine. In the view of journalistic mind, news is for human, journalism is of hominology, and journalistic spirit is humanism. They are core points of humanistic journalism.

Key words

Rationality, Pan-step / Pervasive communication / Media technology / Journalistic professionalism / Humanistic journalism
