Abstract:
The year 2023 marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Pan Zinian, a red journalist of
the Communist Party of China (CPC) who is praised by Mao Zedong as “the first newspaperman of
the CPC”. At present, relevant studies on Xinhua Daily edited by Pan have been very in-depth in the
academic circles, but there are relatively few studies on Masses Weekly, the only theoretical journal
published by the Party in KMT-controlled areas, which he founded and served as the editor-in-chief
and publisher (president). This paper is mainly about the hardship of Pan leading the comrades in the
editorial department, under the leadership of the CPC and the command of Zhou Enlai, to edit and
publish the journal in Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing and Shanghai, as well as comb through and discuss
the publicity of the Party’s theories and policies in these areas.
2023年是被毛泽东赞誉为“中共第一报人”的中国共产党红色新闻家潘梓年诞辰130周年。目前学界对潘梓年主编《新华日报》的相关研究已经非常深入,但对其创办并担任主编和发行人(社长)的中国共产党在国统区唯一出版发行的理论刊物《群众》周刊的研究相对较少。本文主要就潘梓年在党的领导下和周恩来亲自指挥下,带领编辑部的同志们辗转南京、武汉、重庆和上海等地编辑出版《群众》周刊的艰难历程以及以此为阵地对党的理论和政策宣传进行梳理和探讨。
