回應生活：《華僑日報》「兒童版」的互動效果

在香港，不少的兒童文學都依存報章副刊發展，以《華僑日報》為例，歸屬「兒童版」的有「兒童周刊」、「兒童天地」與「青草地」，前後近四十年持續與讀者見面，是香港兒童文學一片歷史悠久的園地。報章每天出版，能即時反映、回應當前生活，而「兒童版」編者作者每以生活片段、品德修養、學習態度與時事歷史為切入點，為年輕讀者提供養料。讀者 / 「小」作者或透過與編者作者的書信來往，或於公開園地以作品回饋編者作者，從而表達個人的意見與感情。於是，寄存於報章的「兒童版」就成為編者 / 讀者與老作家 / 小作者的交流廣場，表現活潑的互動情狀。本論文以《華僑日報》的「兒童天地」為研究對象，並借用施蘭姆 (W. Schramm) 的傳播模式，探討編者 / 讀者、老作家 / 小作者在活潑的回饋 (feedback) 中，其所開展的互動效果。
