新世界 近代文藝小報。日報。1916年12月4日創刊於上海。歷任主編為鄭正秋、奚燕子、楊塵因，編輯助理為姚鵷雛、周瘦鵑、聞野鶴、陳小蝶、吳綺緣、周劍雲、平襟亞、戚飯牛、惲秋星、尤半狂等，圖畫主任為孫雪泥，繪畫者有了悚、但杜宇、聿光、張光宇等名家。出至1919年6月17日，因受五四運動影響，報名改為《藥風日刊》。1920年2月20日又恢復原名，並由天南佛徒（夏小谷）、孫雪泥、王小逸等人接編。約於1927年3月因北伐戰爭而終刊。

該報版面和內容前後有所革新：初為４開１張４版，內設言論世界、郵電世界、滑稽世界、戲劇世界、小說世界、文藝世界等十幾個欄目；1918年8月改為對開半張2大版每期插畫8幅，增載遊藝場節目表和戲目說明書，並不定期附送女學名士題詞的單頁畫報1張。所刊主要作品，戲劇方面有劉豁公的時事歌劇劇本《專制餘波》，舒舍予的《斧風室劇活》，尤半狂的《瘦影樓劇話》等；中短篇小說有聞野鶴的《劍底桃花錄》，龔樓的《金錢與愛情》，陳小蝶的《紅樓夢夢》，花萼譯自德國葛威廉的《難為情死》，朱士雅譯目美國司帶克的《甘油炸藥會》等：其他連載著作有柳亞子的《磨劍室隨筆》，夢甦的《夢廬筆記》，姚民哀的《息廬詩詞錄》，姚鵷雛的《赫玉尺樓詩話》，奚燕子的 《鏤冰館楹聯叢話》和《吳梅村集外詩》等。在鄭正秋主持下．該報辯論欄還曾發起過4次大論戰，所討論的問題為戲劇界的現狀與未來、劇目的現實意義、白話新體詩的實質等．可稱為“五四”新文化運動的前奏曲。此外，該報在1916年至1917年連續舉辦過“新世界群芳選舉大會”，並出售百美圖，轟動一時。

該報是一份規模較大、內容充實、歷時較長的文藝報紙，不僅在當時產生過較大影響，而且在近代和現代的同類報紙中起過承前啟後的作用。其首創的報式編例及其內容，為後起的同類報紙如《大世界》、《先施樂園日報》、勸業場日報》、《天韻日報》等所仿效。（祝均宙）
