内容简介：党的十六大以来，国务院新闻办公室根据中央的要求努力推进政府新闻发布工作，在各地各部门的共同努力下，政府新闻发布和新闻发言人制度建设取得了突破性进展。2009年党的十七届四中全会提出"建立党委新闻发言人制度"后，全国各级党委机构也普遍建立起党委新闻发言人制度。当前，三个层次的党委政府新闻发布制度已经在全国范围基本建立，并不断向基层和企事业单位延伸。为规范政府新闻发布工作，不断提高政府新闻发布工作的质量和水平，国务院新闻办公室新闻局曾于2007年组织编写了《政府新闻发布工作手册》。该书出版后受到相关从业者的欢迎，也收到各方结合实践提出的许多意见和建议。2014年以来，因应党委、政府新闻发言人制度不断发展和完善的现实，在2007年版手册的基础上，结合近年来我国新闻发布工作的实践及其变化，国务院新闻办公室新闻局组织编写了全新的《新闻发布工作手册》，供各地各部门党委、政府新闻发言人和新闻发布机构工作人员在工作中参考使用。《新闻发布工作手册》是应实际工作需要而编辑出版的带有工作指导性的书。该书基本沿用了2007年版《政府新闻发布工作手册》的框架，同时结合新闻发布工作的新形势、新特点，参照最新理论成果，增加和替换了很多新的内容，以满足党委、政府、企业等的新闻发布工作的需要。（Since the Sixteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the State Council Information Office has put great efforts into improving government news release together with relevant departments and local administrations according to requirements of the central government, making a breakthrough in the construction of the government news release and news spokesman system. In 2009, after the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "establish the news spokesman system of the party committee", resulting in establishments at various levels of administrations. Currently, a three-level government news release system of the party committee has been established throughout the whole country and is extending to basic administration units and enterprises.To standardize and continuously improve government news release, the Information Bureau of the State Council Information Office edited The Workbook of the Government News Release in 2007. After publication, it emerged as a huge hit among relevant practitioners and received lots of practical advice.Since 2014, given the requirement of party committee work and the reality that the government news spokesman system is continuously developing, the Information Bureau of the State Council Information Office published a new edition of The Workbook of the Government News Release on the basis of the workbook in 2007, incorporating practices and changes of China's government news release system in recent years. It is a practice-oriented guidebook, intended for party committees in general, government news spokesmen and staff members working in news agencies. Basically adopting the frame of the 2007 edition, the book tries to reflect new circumstances and characteristics of the news release. What's more, it includes latest theoretical achievements and lots of new materials for the need of relevant personnel.）
