Xinhui, Guangdong, is a famous bourgeois enlightenment thinker in modern times, as well as a famous newspaper activist and news thinker. He has edited or participated in more than ten kinds of newspapers and periodicals, which has great influence in the press and publication circles at home and abroad. He wrote and edited more than 30 published papers, which formed his rich and unique editing and publishing thoughts.

His early thoughts on newspapers and periodicals can be roughly summarized into three points. First, he pays attention to selecting topics and soliciting contributions, which reflects the trend of the times. Liang Qichao believes that the contents of newspaper articles should reflect the characteristics and requirements of the times and serve the national salvation and the improvement of national quality. Second, innovate the style of newspapers and periodicals to meet the needs of readers. The application of the new style enables the general public to understand the articles in newspapers and periodicals, thus narrowing the distance between readers and newspapers and expanding the audience. Newspapers and periodicals have gradually become an important aspect of people's cultural life. The success of Liang Qichao's new newspaper style attracted many newspapers to imitate each other, which greatly promoted the development of the newspaper industry. Until today, Liang Qichao's attitude towards and serving readers still has reference significance for us. Third, clearly understand the responsibilities of newspapers and periodicals, and clarify the publishing principles. Liang Qichao believes that newspapers and periodicals have a great influence on the fate of the country and the nation.

Liang Qichao later ran a newspaper overseas, and his news thoughts changed. He put forward the newspaper's "two bounden duties", namely, "supervising the government" and "guiding the people", which laid the foundation for the formation of China's bourgeois news thought and was also used for reference by later China revolutionaries. He summarized the function of newspapers and periodicals as "communication" in a highly democratic way, which can be discussed from three aspects: First, the reformists tried their best to elaborate and practice the function of "communicating with the West", especially the function with foreign feelings. Pay attention to the role of newspapers and periodicals in spreading information and stabilizing the ruling order of the country. Secondly, it emphasizes and uses the educational function of newspapers, so education is always one of the main tasks of newspapers. Thirdly, attach importance to and consciously use the newspaper's function of opening up the atmosphere, that is, guiding public opinion. However, his understanding of the nature of newspapers surpassed that of the early reformists, and he regarded running newspapers as the embodiment of people's natural rights and political democracy, thus realizing the fighting role of newspapers against autocracy. At the same time, he expressed his views on the quality of newspaper reporters and put forward suggestions for formulating newspaper laws. Liang Qichao emphasized the cultivation of talents, knowledge and moral demeanor of newspaper employees, and believed that the professional quality of editors determined the success or failure of newspapers and periodicals and whether newspapers and periodicals were welcomed by readers. He particularly emphasized that newspaper editors should have noble moral character and dedication.

Liang Qichao's exposition on newspapers, news, public opinion and writing. It embodies the news thoughts of the reformists and has epoch-making significance in the history of China's news theory. 1. On the functions and functions of newspapers in the past. A, "newspapers are beneficial to state affairs", which is a reformist knowledge from a political point of view. B. "De-plug communication", he believes that the strength of a country lies in communication, and the preferred tool for "de-plug communication" is newspapers and periodicals. Two: On the nature and tasks of newspapers and periodicals. Newspapers are diverse in nature. B, the "two bounden duties" of newspapers. In his view, the newspaper's supervision of the government is the supervision of public opinion, and as a guide, the newspaper should be geared to the public and have the characteristics of "emergency and justice". Three. On the conditions of running a good newspaper. Liang Qichao believes that a well-run newspaper must have four standards: "One day, the purpose is set high, the second day is new and correct, the third day is rich and suitable, and the fourth day is accurate and fast." Four: public opinion discussion. Put forward and emphasize the importance of "the mother of public opinion", "the servant of public opinion" and "creating public opinion". A sound public opinion should have "five books", that is, common sense, sincerity, directness, justice and moderation.

Liang Qichao's newspaper plays an important role in my news history, including: 1. Educating readers in patriotism in order to save the country and survive. Through newspapers and periodicals, the reformists stated the dangerous situation that China was surrounded by foreign powers, angrily condemned the bad acts of foreign powers, and issued a call for building a strong and independent new China, which greatly inspired the patriotic passion of scholars and intellectuals to resist aggression and revitalize China. Second, the readers were educated in bourgeois ideology enlightenment. After the reform, the newspapers and periodicals introduced western learning and western situation in considerable space, enthusiastically publicized the new bourgeois culture, shocked the hearts of the broad masses of intellectuals and liberated their thoughts. Third, it promoted the development of the Reform Movement and the realization of political reform. The newspaper activities of the new reformists in various places have caused great public opinion influence in the society, won the support and support of a large number of patriotic people with lofty ideals, and greatly helped the political reform. Its main contributions are as follows: first, it broke through the ban of feudal rulers; The second is to create a precedent for politicians to run newspapers; Third, it created a new style of newspaper and promoted the development of political writing.

Liang Qichao is the most influential news theorist among bourgeois reformists and one of the founders of modern newspapers and periodicals in China. His thoughts on editing and publishing greatly promoted the development of modern newspapers and periodicals in China, profoundly influenced a generation of journalists, and occupied an important position in the publishing history of China. However, we should also see that Liang Qichao, as a modern bourgeois enlightenment thinker, has some negative and backward factors in his publishing thought due to the limitations of the times and personal understanding, and we should have a clear understanding of this. We can't fully absorb his editing and publishing ideas. At the same time, his thought of editing and publishing does not involve much about the internal laws of editing and publishing, which is a defect of his thought of editing and publishing. Of course, we can't be too hard on him, because Liang Qichao played the role of an ideological enlightener in modern history, and he made many contributions to the progress of modern society in China. As for the perfection and development of his editing and publishing thoughts, it is what our younger generation should do.
