摘要

國共內戰時期，香港一度成為左派宣傳的基地，及至中共優勢確立，港英政府採取各種措施限制其活動。報紙上的「學生版」本來就有啟蒙教化青年的作用，正是政治宣傳的重要陣地。本文以《星島日報》「學生園地」版作為案例，分析該版由1947年底至1951年初青年文化教養方針的變化，發現在1948年年底前，「學生園地」一再表示要避免沾上政治，而在此以後，則改弦易轍，直至1950年中，才又再度迴避政治，與一般認為左派活動從自由到不自由的轉變不完全同步。本文又發現，最初表示迴避政治的首任編者原是由中共指派進入《星島》報系，而在左翼言論主導時期，也不乏宣傳以外的內容。本文認為該版的內容和變化是政治形勢、報館立場、編者理念、讀者趣味等交鋒妥協的結果，其中沒有一種力量能夠獨力形塑版面的面貌。最後本文嘗試估量該版在不同階段的青年文化教養效果。

During the period of civil war between communists and nationalists, Hong Kong suddenly became the base for leftist propaganda. When the dominance of the Communist Party was assured, the British-Hong Kong government adopted various measures to limit these activities. The supplements for students of newspapers originally functioned to educate and cultivate students, precisely an important realm for political propaganda. This essay examines the case of the ＂Students' Forum＂ of the Sing Tao Jih Pao, analyzing the changes of educational guidelines and policies from late 1947 to early 1951. It can be discovered that before the end of 1948, ＂Students' Forum＂ began to stress repeatedly that political involvements should be avoided. Thereafter, a change of tone occurred, until the middle of 1950, when political avoidance re-emerged as a theme; thus it did not move in perfect step with all the movements regarded as leftist, from free to unfree. This essay also discovers that in the beginning the editor-in-chief who advocated avoidance of political issues was originally sent by the communists to the staff of the Sing Tao, and during the period of support of left-wing discourse, the paper did not fail to publish contents outside of propaganda. It is argued here that the contents and changes are the result of interaction between political dominance, publisher's position, editorial beliefs, readers' interests, and so forth. There was no single, over-powering factor capable of shaping the outcome of the publications' final appearance. Finally, this essay attempts an assessment of the effects on the cultivation of youth of the various stages of this forum.
