Chapter 438: Accomplice

The media, an institution that has been formed naturally from ancient times to the present, although the functions of each era are different and the media are different, the overall role has never changed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is to spread some people and some things to more people through their language or writing, expand their influence, and then produce public opinion.

The word "matchmaker" is next to the female character, and in the Chinese text, some of the characters next to the female character were created in the early days, and most of them are praise words, such as Wa, in addition to representing Nuwa, the meaning of this word is a woman like a whirlpool, implying that this woman has great charm and is surrounded by men.

There is also the word Ji, which is an important surname in ancient times, derived from the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor, Ji Shui, which also represents respect for ancestors.

These are some words coined in the period when the patriarchal society was not too exclusive to the matrilineal society, and they also represent the social status of men and women at that time.

But as the status of women becomes lower and lower, the words next to some female characters have become somewhat dejorative.

Such as prostitutes, prostitutes, and so on.

The word "media" means to plot two things together, and at first it was the name of an official position that plotted different surnames together, and it was called "official media" from the Zhou Dynasty onwards.

Later, the matchmaker became the spokesperson of the matchmaker.

The role of the matchmaker is similar to that of the media, both of which are the role of intermediaries to convey information to each other, but whether the authenticity and objectivity of the information are guaranteed depends on the media or the matchmaker herself.

Therefore, in the past, the matchmaker of the media also needed a good reputation, so as to gain the trust of others, and the media is also like this, the correctness and authenticity of the news and information reported by the media are the most concerned by the public.

Because as an information transmission agency, the impact of the information transmitted by the media is enormous.

The profession responsible for collecting information to write reports under the media is called a reporter, which is a foreign word, and the early media news organizations in China do not have this clear division of labor among reporters, and most of the officials responsible for investigating and collecting evidence also perform their own duties, and the closest ones are secretaries or chief bookkeepers.

In ancient times, media organizations were all publicly owned, because public opinion seemed to be inferior to the sword, but in fact, the role of public opinion was sometimes more terrible than the sword and war, so the control of public opinion was a necessary criterion for national stability.

But the modern promotion of freedom of expression has led to the establishment of a large number of independent media outlets, and these independent media outlets have reported on different trends.

In the early English media, journalists were known as the 'uncrowned kings', because journalists engaged in social journalism had a strong sense of authenticity in their reports on some things at that time, and the industry also had a strong sense of self-esteem and honor at that time, and would not make false reports.

An old chief writer, after retirement, will accumulate a lot of social experience and experience, and will be hired by the English government to become a cabinet member, so the reporter has a high social status at that time.

With great power comes great responsibility, and the journalist profession with this title of 'uncrowned king' bears the conscience of the whole society, and if such a journalist makes a false report or a very subjective report, the harmful impact is immeasurable.

After the emergence of many independent media, news resources have become sought-after, the industry has begun to have competition, and there has begun to have a chain of interests like business, and some media are often induced by power and profit, often giving up some sense of social responsibility and conscience.

So they only report news that is valuable to them, and the profession that is most closely related to public opinion is public figures, especially the entertainment industry, so some of the media began to develop into entertainment reporters.

Because of the particularity of entertainment, entertainment is not serious, not serious, and not formal, so the reporting of entertainment news is also like this, they grasp some of the needs of the public, and only report some news that the public likes to see.

And there is no such news that they like to see, and they create news to report.

What's even more terrifying is that under the premise of entertainment, these fake news don't even have legal rights protection, so these entertainment media are becoming more and more frenzied.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

Over time, the entire entertainment industry has also become deformed, grasping the psychological needs of the public to report the news, and becoming less and less offline.

This seems to be just a problem of the entertainment industry, but in fact, because of the growing influence of the entertainment industry, the impact on the whole society is undoubted, especially for some teenagers who have no independent judgment ability, this kind of unscrupulous newspaper is a kind of cancer.

Anything that is detached from the realm of authenticity and morality is, by some definition, a danger to human civilization.

Everyone knows this, but in the face of reality, it is only a truth.

The psychological needs of the public, under the influence of academic influence after the Song Dynasty, the pent-up demand for thousands of years of 'sex' is the first hot spot that these entertainment media grasp, so most entertainment news is inseparable from 'sex', especially the peach news of female stars, which often sells the best.

Driven by huge profits, it is unimaginable how dark human performance has become, and in order to catch some 'peach news', these entertainment media often resort to everything.

Pretend to be a fan to contact female celebrities for harassment, and then report it out of context.

Candid photography and even find similar amateurs to take some ambiguous photos, use blurring to report, and earn eyeballs.

When the audience sees these news, they will not pursue the authenticity of the news, they just look at it and laugh, and then after giving some definitions to the person involved in the news, it will pass, maybe after paying attention to this star in the future, this kind of news will become a talking point.

The real profiteers of this kind of news are always the media, except for some public figures who take the initiative to hype up with the media, those artists who are innocently shot and used, and no one cares about what they endure.

Because the rules of this circle tell them that they can't explain.

The darker you describe, the more you explain, the more people think you are empty-minded, these fictitious things become true, and even if you sue, under the premise that the domestic human rights law is not perfect, this kind of civil lawsuit will not really sanction the criminals, and the cost is extremely large.

The entertainment industry mainly relies on the influence of public opinion, and the only output of public opinion is the media, if the media wears a pair of pants, then the rules are set by the media, and anyone who wants to break the rules will be subject to 'unspoken rules'.

That's the reality.

Even the top public figures sometimes shy away from the media.

Celebrities or public figures are not as fame and fortune as imagined, they are first restricted by the company and the media, not because of the miasma of this circle, but because it is difficult to distinguish between black and white in this circle, only interests.

And artists are just tools to make money.

Despite this, the bottom line and morality of the media are getting lower and lower, and they will do whatever it takes for the sake of news tricks and hot spots.

In 1997, there was a murder case that caused a sensation on both sides of the strait.

The victim was Bai Xiaoyan, the daughter of Bai Bingbing, a well-known actress on Treasure Island.

Because of marital interests, Bai Bingbing raised her daughter alone, and her daughter Bai Xiaoyan was a daughter with a relatively gentle personality and was also very kind, but she didn't expect that kindness would sometimes become the reason for being hurt.

When she was out of school, she was kidnapped by the criminals in a no-man's corner in the way of 'asking for directions', and then made a blackmail call to her mother Bai Bingbing and informed her of a location.

When Bai Bingbing arrived at the location mentioned by the kidnappers, she found something left by the kidnappers, a little thumb of her daughter, a distress letter and a blackmail letter, and a half-naked photo of her daughter.

The kidnappers demanded a ransom of $5 million, and Bai Bingbing began to raise money that night, while the police also formed an investigation team.

But Bai Bingbing, as a public figure, will always have some media attention, and the media didn't know how to learn about this incident, and instantly pounced like a wild dog smelling meat.

The kidnapping case coupled with Bai Bingbing's identity as a public figure is enough to make these media so red-eyed by interests that they lose their conscience.

The kidnappers asked Bai Bingbing not to call the police, but because of the intervention of media reporters, on the way to pay the ransom, the media actually drove a live broadcast car to follow, causing a huge sensation.

Immediately after the kidnappers got the news, they canceled the transaction, Bai Bingbing knelt down for the reporters at that time and did not drive away the group of reporters, and the police scolded the reporters.

Completely ignoring the fact that this is a matter of life, the reporter is bent on the headline "If the police don't withdraw, they won't withdraw." ”

And that night, Bai Xiaoyan's matter was exposed throughout the report, causing a sensation.

The exposure and leakage of the incident angered the kidnappers, and they began not to contact Bai Bingbing.

In order to force the kidnappers to dedicate themselves, the police went to monitor the wife of one of the main criminals, and after the media heard the news, the anchor of a certain station accepted many media interviews, and analyzed the mental journey of the criminal, and the most ridiculous thing is to package this unforgivable criminal as a 'hero of the end'.

This anchor is a well-known anchor on Treasure Island and is very well-known, so under his treasure interpretation, many people began to sympathize with this criminal, and even expressed sympathy and support.

They didn't know how desperate the helpless mother who learned all this was.

How can the humanity of this society be so terrible?

No one cares about the real victim, but sympathizes with a heinous criminal.

The 24-hour uninterrupted coverage of the TV station has created ratings, and a heinous criminal has not yet created a 'hero' who is forced by life to go to the point of no return and rebel against power.

And among these media reporters who are fueling the trouble, how can they not be accomplices of criminals?
