Under the table

Before coming to Taiwan at the end of 2016, a predecessor had suggested that because the Taiwan media environment was too noisy, I did not need to read the four major newspapers every day. Instead, it would be good to pick a relatively objective and neutral reading.In this way, I will not be lost in the explosive amount of information, and it is easier to focus on interpretation of the news.The predecessors who sent Taipei more than 10 years ago said: I only read the China Times at that time. I wonder if the situation has changed?

The change is big!During the martial arts period, under the background of the comprehensive management and control of the party -state government in comprehensive management and control of speech and reporting the ban, the Chinese Times who believed in liberalism was the founder Yu Jizhong's freedom, democracy, and love for the country;Pointing directly at the National Government's publishing law to endure the freedom of the press, even at the expense of the break with the Kuomintang government, published the Democratic Progressive Party's founding news on the front version, and became the only flat media that published relevant news at that time, which made the Kuomintang authorities extremely uncomfortable.

However, Cai Yanming, the chairman of Wangwang Group, who is looking forward to the unity of both sides of the strait, spent 20.4 billion yuan (NT $ 900 million) in 2008, including the Middle, Industry and Commerce Times Weekly and Zhongtian and China TV.After the media became the media group in Wangwangzhong, the situation began to change qualitatively.In the eyes of critics, the red -dyed in the eyes of the CCP had become a passage of the Communist Party of China, and it was even ridiculed as the People's Daily of Taiwan.

Just like the free style of the liberals at that time, it annoyed the Kuomintang, and Wangzhong's obvious reporting position today also made the DPP government that tried hard to prevent Beijing's influence penetrating.Last week, under the continuous fatigue bombing of the DPP officials and legislators, the Taiwan National Communications Commission (NCC), which was often accused of inadequate news of counterfeiting news, finally stood up.Reasons such as verification and other reasons, a large number of heavy penalties for Kaohsiung Mayor South Korea ’s Zhongtian News, including a penalty of 1 million yuan.This is also the most punishment for the Taiwan authorities to make the most of the single media agencies.

Regardless of whether the NCC, which is an independent organs, has become the DPP ’s freedom of pressing on press freedom this time, the Taiwanese media condition that is punished by Zhongtian is more urgent to pay attention.A few years after the relief, Taiwan News Media has experienced a glorious period of full energy release and vigorous development of the organization. However, after decades of evolution and development, the distant viewing of the media ecosystem that looks like a variety of and many taboos is a society.Tear, unexplained value, and chaos that only do not ask right.

Chen Guoxiang, former chairman of the Taiwan Central News Agency, in the media, treasures or monsters in 2016?The book once pointed out that although Taiwan has gone through the era of authoritarianism, the news media is no longer a surname or party, but many encouraging media and commentators have appeared.They follow their political stance, and treat objective, balanced, and fair when choosing, producing and spreading news. What news and how to report it with strong intentions and tendencies, the purpose is to encourage the audience's recognition and support its political goals to support their political goals.At the same time, shape the people's cognitive images.

Taking Zhongtian as an example, even if facing Han Tian religious Taichung news and other ridicule, even some Taiwanese college students launched a look at the operation. Zhongtian never retreated. Every day, he still tried to choose the president of South Korea.EssenceHowever, Zhongtian argued that the station reported from the perspective of encouraging and supervision to report South Korea Yu, and its high ratings were reflected in the support of most Taiwanese.The audience who supported the middle and heaven was also upset, saying that the democracy of Taiwan was not the DPP as the master, and some of them pointed out that similar content abounded. Why do other television stations do not punish, only punishment?

It is true that news media that have not complied with neutral and objective news live broadcasts and ethical specifications are not only in the middle and heavenly family. The long -term criticism of green media such as Sanli, Civil Television and Liberty Times have been on the list.Discipline reports have also emerged endlessly.However, the media competition should not enter the rotten vicious circle, otherwise it will only fall into the state of incompetence and avoid problems without thinking about solutions.

Zhu Yunhan, an academician of the Central Academy of Sciences, once said that when the professional standards and professional ethics abdicated, senior journalists with conscience will be forced to transfer, and they have to leave the wave with the waves.The overall quality will inevitably decline.In the case of quality collapse, news media can only abandon the democratic watch and the position of social communication. The interests of the political elites exchange to consolidate the audience's territory, and finally become the film dancers and dancers of political parties andSocial tear.

Tomorrow (7th) is just a day of freedom of speech in Taiwan to commemorate Zheng Nanrong, the founder of the Freedom of the Magazine of the Party Foreign affairs, Zheng Nanrong.On this significant day, it may be the beginning of the self -introspection of the news media.
