当曲艺逐渐式微，当民生新闻走进同质化的泥沼，二者开始尝试融合，“曲艺式新闻”就此出现，同时为二者的生存提供了新方向。自2005年第一个曲艺式电视新闻节目——齐鲁电视台《拉呱》出现之后，全国各地曲艺式新闻层出不穷且不断发展，为民生新闻注入了新活力。 本文以全国第一个曲艺式新闻节目《拉呱》为例，从曲艺与民生新闻结合形成“曲艺式新闻”的过程谈起，分析了曲艺式新闻形成的条件、诞生的意义，总结了“曲艺式新闻”继承并发展于曲艺的内容世俗化、传播通俗化、信息故事化、表达夹叙夹议等优秀特质，指出了曲艺式新闻目前出现的“花边新闻多”、“评说戏说多”、“报道浅度化”以及“后继无人”等发展矛盾，并针对问题提出了合理的建议：内容要适度、形式要得当，要有态度、做品牌；同时提出了注重线上线下互动、利用新媒体传播等更高的要求。
