(Taiwan Business Daily News) Taiwan's media chaos is often criticized by Chinese people! On March 8, the Hong Junpei Culture and Education Foundation and the Taiwan Business Daily invited Chen Guoxiang, chairman of the Central News Agency, to give a lecture on "Media Justice and Social Progress." as the chairman of the state news agency, he has many years of background in news and communication and media management. the audience has benefited a lot from an in-depth analysis of the current media chaos.

Chen Guoxiang, chairman of the Central News Agency, said at the beginning that at the "Cross-Strait Media Prospect Forum" held in Beijing in December last year, he told the mainland that the two sides of the strait had set up news offices for each other, and that Taiwan had now opened up the mainland to set up sites. however, the mainland side did not open up to express its unfair intention. He said: the pace of freedom of the press in Taiwan and the mainland is different, Taiwan reporters in many places have not been able to go deep, and the mainland is tightly controlled, making it more difficult to cover news on the mainland.

Chen Guoxiang cited this because Chen Guoxiang was strongly questioned by the Legislative Yuan as soon as he returned to Taiwan after the end of the forum. He saw that the focus of the Taiwan media was not on the "six joint initiatives" published on the mainland, but on emotional scenarios such as "not protesting to the mainland on the spot and legislators denouncing humiliation."

Chen Guoxiang, chairman of the Central News Agency, said that when the meeting was held for consultation, he already made it clear at that time: as soon as the mainland read out the proposal, the meeting broke up and was unable to express its views on the spot. He also openly expressed Taiwan's position to the media afterwards, and he has done his duty. On the contrary, a rude way will damage the relationship that the two sides of the strait have not established easily. "otherwise, do I have to go to the stage and grab a microphone, and this is called loving Taiwan?"

However, as a result of the news reports in the media the next day, the headline was: "* legislators denounced Chen Guoxiang for losing face." Chen Guoxiang, chairman of the Central News Agency, said that now the media ideology is too strong. Has completely lost the training of journalism.

Chen Guoxiang, chairman of the Central News Agency, said that the social atmosphere is very urgent and short. Viewers like fast and burden-free news content, and no one is talking about so-called professional news reports. Whether it is cable television or wireless television, the proportion of social news and the length of coverage have increased because of the interest of audiences across the country. Because that kind of reporting is the guarantee of ratings, the media are all business-oriented. Most media use similar methods to promote news and become more and more like each other.

The media should strictly verify and report the facts, and should not distort or cover up the truth, nor should they report or comment on them by means of clips, sensation, exaggeration, flattery, and so on. Respect pluralism, independence, resist threats and inducements from government bosses or other forces, and respect privacy unless it involves a recognized public interest. What is taught in the journalism department is of a high standard and cannot be fully reflected in the real press.

Before they had time to cultivate their professional self-confidence, the Taiwan press was bewildered by the big waves and rushed to find selling points, but the big waves will always subside, and there will be no lifebuoys after the waves die down.

Chen Guoxiang, chairman of the Central News Agency, said that media criticism and variety have buried quality news and things that the public should know, and news self-discipline is difficult to implement. "it's almost inexplicable!"

In order to solve these problems, Chen Guoxiang believes that starting from the introspection of everyone among the people, the only way is to refuse to watch fishy news such as gossip, and to initiate that they want to know about the world and the hearts of society, especially in terms of humanistic literacy, so as to reduce the possibility of "media fools." and have their own judgment and thinking, and no longer follow the media to dance with the current, will be the fundamental solution.

It is very important to be initiated by the people to refuse to watch and awaken, but if there is a set of mechanisms for media self-discipline, or even deeper self-reflection, it is not impossible for the media to initiate it. It depends on the power of determination and implementation, otherwise it is impossible to sit on the sidelines. The social atmosphere cannot be cultivated, and it is expected that more specific implementation practices can emerge. The people in the media mess are exhausted, and the media should have a "moral" position and positioning, otherwise it is only a kind of business behavior.
