新闻史数据库TJNU Press-History Database

背景Context

新闻史课程每年都会产出大量数据可视化作业——数据网页、数据长图、数据海报。它们做完、评完分，然后消失在各自的网盘里。这是一种奇怪的浪费：这些作品单看是作业，合起来看是一个系的方法论年鉴。我决定把它们捞出来，搭一个所有人都能访问的档案。Every year the press-history course produces a pile of data visualizations — scrolling pages, long-form graphics, posters. They get graded, then vanish into personal cloud drives. Individually they are coursework; together they are a department's yearbook of method. I decided to fish them out and build a public archive.

问题The problem

难的不是做一个页面，而是定一套能容纳异质作品的元数据。25 件作品来自不同年级、不同载体、研究的年代跨度也完全不同。我最终定了四个字段：作品形式（数据网页 / 数据长图 / 数据海报）、研究对象的年代跨度、班级、作者组。有了这几个字段，散落的作业才第一次能被并排比较——比如能看出哪几届偏好长图、哪些历史区间被反复研究。The hard part wasn't building a page — it was designing a metadata scheme wide enough for wildly different artefacts. I settled on four fields: format, the historical span each project covers, class year, author group. Only with those fields can 25 scattered assignments be compared side by side.

两个决定Two decisions

为什么是纯静态Why static

档案站最大的敌人是“维护”。用数据库后端意味着有人要一直养着它；我毕业之后它多半会死掉。所以整站是纯静态页面，部署在 Cloudflare Pages 上——没有服务器、没有依赖、托管免费，理论上可以无人照看地活很多年。收录新作品只需要改一个数据文件。The enemy of an archive is maintenance. A database backend means someone has to keep feeding it, and it would likely die after I graduate. So the whole site is static, on Cloudflare Pages — no server, no dependencies, free hosting. Adding a project means editing one data file.

为什么按年代而不是按届展示Why organize by era, not by class year

对系里的人来说按届看最自然，但对外来访客，按“研究的历史年代”浏览才有意思——1902 年的征婚广告、1930 年代的侵华广播、1940 年代的边区摄影，连起来是一部民间视角的中国新闻史。档案的排序方式，本身就是一次编辑。Insiders think in class years; visitors care about the eras studied. Browsing by historical span — 1902 matchmaking ads, 1930s wartime radio, 1940s border-region photography — reads as a folk history of the Chinese press. How an archive sorts itself is itself an act of editing.

待补 · 截图与数字 给站点首页截一张图存到 site/assets/covers/journa-graph.jpg，我把首页的图案封面换成真图。另外补两个数字：上线以来的访问量；全站代码量或开发用时——“一个人、X 行代码、X 周”这种表述对面试很有说服力。
