Liberty of Chinese Media

 

Blog-Reggie Liu

As the three Models of Media system, I think the past of China media system is Liberal Model.

Before 1949, In the magazine era of the Republic of China, Chinese media was the well-known thought communication media in the old society.

 

At that time, there were many news media that publicized the advanced western ideas and regimes, such as newspapers and magazines, which people read every day at that time. The elite paid more attention to the trend of politics and was keen to talk about similar remarks in newspapers.




Especially college students and professors, who use journalism and public viewpoint to publicize the ideas they represent. In that era, Chinese media people strive to change the face of China and their fundamental purpose of public thought was to save the country.

 

Therefore, the media format at that time was very free and relatively professional, and they had a balance of government. The media just describe the factual behavior of the political party but didn't speak on the behalf of the government.

 


And now, particularly after 1982,Chinese media system changed to the Democratic Corporatist Model,Strong development of mass-circulation newspapers, rooted in both commercial and party newspapers;

The current Chinese media is composed of local news media organized by the state and local governments, urban newspapers, or we media people and commercial media institutions




Then, business news mainly reports the politics and events at home, abroad, and locally, and also reports some economic-related articles and news trivia of residents' lives.

However, the direction and content of news reports are mostly controlled by the government and parties.

 

But on the whole, it still has quite rich and diversified content and is more rigorous in the true report of the facts, so as not to control the trend of social public opinion, and people will also get some solutions to problems by contacting local media or submitting articles online.

 

It will bring people a strong sense of news security and belonging, make people more willing to believe the reports in the news rather than some gossip, and have ‘Chinese way opinion’ on political discussions and international issues, to facilitate the understanding of the Chinese people

    Enjoyed your article very much. Saw the cover of this magazine New Youth. I thought of the great May Fourth Movement. The idea of communism entered China and the great Chinese revolution had a guiding ideology from then on.

    The models of Hallin and Mancini have a Western empirical focus, which serve as a reference point for analyzing the media system of other countries, but do not act as a universal framework. I see why you wanted China to conform to the Democratic Corporatist Model, however, I think it could have a model of its own. State-owned media still have a significant market share, and there is a high political parallelism and state intervention, there is also a growth trend, high audience reach, content diversity and international influence. Things that from the Western perspective are somehow contradictory, however, are happening in China. As such, the models of Hallin and Mancini, lack diversity and perhaps even new dimensions.

    I know this very well, because I come from China. This model is reflected in Chinese media, and we have to learn it in history class.---------Zhang Jiahui(Lucas)

    Media has its particularity in China. Chinese characteristics are one of the important factors for China's success. If we stick to our own way and carry out it carefully, we may have good results.——He YiPeng（Bruce）

Comment is free, but the facts are sacred

by Galkin Daniil There will never be a moment in time when people are not interested in the media, whether it be for news, entertainment or education. Naturally, this gives print, radio, TV and Internet journalism important functions, such as influencing public opinion, socialization, as well as setting the agenda and following the pillars of society and the state. Just as doctors take the Hippocratic Oath, so any journalist who calls himself a professional must return to this quote from the famous article "A Hundred Years" in the Manchester Guardian: “Comment is free, but the facts are sacred”. I believe that the state and the media should live parallel to each other, where the state reads and studies the media in order to fully understand the reaction of society to its activities and does not take control of the media in order to influence society with its propaganda and its values.  As a journalist, I understand why the state wants to control the media. After all, this is

Welcome to the silent ball

By Papiya Mondal  Well be a part of 21st century and thinking about a world without communication we can think about the old century when people didn't have language and and no way of communication. Ofcourse it was and it would be so hard  in a  daily life that we can explain  through a child. Without the ability for a child to communicate fully or to understand what is happening in their day, a child can feel completely out of control, lonely and helpless. This can lead to regression, aggression, frustration, and behavioural expression and the results is hitting, biting, pushing, etc. Communication basically means transferring information from one person or party to another. If we couldn't communicate at all, how would anything work How would you let someone know you were hungry or need a doctor or ask questions and teach children? When there is no communication people won’t able to share there perspective. They will have to anylise each and everything themselves. Without comm

Is silence really that golden?

 By Galkin Daniil Spoilers: It really isn't.  Multiple pieces of media touched upon the idea of isolation and loneliness, for example, the famous movie "I am Legend" starring Will Smith. Even there, the main hero can't comprehensevely continue his journey without a companion - a dog, which becomes his outlet for relaying his ideas, feelings and fears. Without communication, we as human beings become stagnant, we can't strive to achieve results. Humanity reached its peak due to ideas of multiple, not just one. For those reasons we have science fairs, internet discussions and, even, media - to relay our ideas, so that our crudely created existence can be polished and can become a much greater experience for future generations. A world without communication will wither, stop and simply become a shell of what it originally was. We've seen a lot of examples when words, no matter if they are carefully prepared or said on a whim, can inspire a future which is unpredi
