On The Administrative Regulation Of The Publishing Industry

In modern society, as the carrier of freedom of speech, publishing already has become an important tool for the people to express their thoughts and feelings. At the same time, the social guiding function of publications could not be ignored. As intellectual products, the ideological value of the publications contained is inimitable. For example, in the process of conveying knowledge, publications could also spread the thoughts, and once the corresponding thoughts were accepted by the readers, they could affect the reader’s political standpoints, concepts, moral sentiments, etc. simultaneously and imperceptibly. Therefore, a good book could inspire and educate a multitude of people, whereas, a bad book could also poison a large number of people, and bring about harmful social consequences. As a result, how to guarantee the freedom of the press, which is bestowed by the constitution, and at the same time, to administrate the publishing logically, constituted the important norms of the development degrees of modern countries in spiritual civilization.In our country, the publishing system is still at the transition period, and a perfect law of publications is not formulated by the government.

With the development of the establishment of market economic system, the industrialization reform and commercial remanufacture of publishing industry, the disadvantages of the existed administrative regulation system and measures of publishing industry of our country became more and more obvious.
