"Secretary Qi, Minister Liang has arrived. [Ran^Text^Library] Xiao Zhang walked quickly to the desk and whispered to Qi Tianxiang: "There are also several people from the city newspaper and TV station, all of them have come over, and seeing that you are on the phone, I didn't invite them in." ”

"Please, please come and sit down for a while." Qi Tianxiang raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, it was already a quarter past nine, and immediately said with some apologies: "Minister Liang, they have been here for a while!" ”

Although Xiao Zhang didn't say it, Qi Tianxiang already had an answer, and they didn't just come for a while, but at least for nearly twenty minutes. Although Qi Tianxiang has not been in office for a long time, there are not many people who have contact with him in person, but many people know or have heard that Qi Tianxiang is a person with a strong sense of time, and his requirements for time have almost reached the point of being harsh. When teaching at the academy, it was even more common for students who were late to arrive to be turned away, and there was even an extreme incident in which one of the provincial governors in the audience was more than half an hour late when he was invited to give a lecture in several western provinces. There is also a habit that Qi Tianxiang has had a habit of arriving an hour early every day to start work, and the basic schedule is to start half an hour in advance.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." When Xiao Zhang came in again, followed by Liang Bingyu and others, Qi Tianxiang hurriedly stood up from behind the desk, stretched out his hand and motioned for a few of them to sit on the sofa, while smiling gently: "This good time has been delayed by me, it really shouldn't be!" ”

"Secretary Qi is too polite, we just arrived." Liang Bingyu politely shook Qi Tianxiang's hand gently, pointed to the two beside him and said: "Let me introduce to the secretary, these two are well-known figures in our Hezhou news circles, one is Zhang Weishu, the president and editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and the other is Wang Xiangui, the director of the TV station. ”

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it, and it's indeed a well-known and well-known person." Qi Tianxiang gently stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhang Weishu and Wang Xiangui one by one, and said with a smile: "The two iron locks that our Hezhou City guards the position of public opinion can't help but show our admiration!" ”

"Secretary Qi is too complimentary, we just did our own work, there is nothing to boast about, and there is no capital to our tail." The chubby Zhang Weishu met Qi Tianxiang's warm gaze and said modestly: "The municipal party committee has entrusted me and Lao Wang with such an important task of sticking to the position of public opinion, which is not only a trust in us, but also a spur and encouragement to us. ”

"This attitude is good, modest, low-key, standard, generous, generous, and attitude." Qi Tianxiang praised Zhang Weishu with a smile and used Internet language, turned his face to Liang Bingyu and said: "With such a sober news cadre by your side, I believe your life will be much better." ”

"It's better, of course it's better." Liang Bingyu said with a slight smile, her voice was full of ridicule, "If the big leaders are like your Secretary Qi, low-key and pragmatic and unassuming, of course the life of the two of them and I will be much better, I am afraid that I want to be both an official and a star leader, then our editors, reporters and staff don't want to have a good life!" ”

"Minister Liang, this is something to refer to! Praise me without belittling other leaders. Qi Tianxiang glanced at Liang Bingyu seriously, glanced at his watch, changed the topic and said: "It's almost time, so I won't invite a few of you to tea, let's go over, let dozens of uncrowned kings wait, I, Qi Tianxiang, don't dare to be so arrogant." ”

As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang stood up, walked out of the office with a slight smile and several of them, took the elevator to the conference room of the Propaganda Department on the fifth floor, and entered the door at half past nine, which was exactly the agreed time.

When Qi Tianxiang and the others walked into the conference room, there was warm applause, which made Qi Tianxiang somewhat surprised, under the guidance of Liang Bingyu, Qi Tianxiang walked to the middle of the oval conference table and sat down, waiting for the others to sit down one after another, before slowly letting go of his eyes and observing everything in the conference room casually.

Not only were chairs added around the large conference table to increase the number of people sitting around, but also a larger circle was placed behind the chairs, so that everyone could barely have a seat and sit down for the meeting.

Qi Tianxiang has organized several symposiums in this form, and there are quite a few people in this way, and it seems that he is used to a slightly crowded scene.

The forum was presided over by Tang Ming, vice minister of the Propaganda Department, and after announcing the opening of the meeting, he briefly introduced the leaders attending the meeting, especially after the great significance of the forum, and solemnly invited Qi Tianxiang to speak.

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, looked around at the people in the conference room again, and slowly spoke: "The city's leaders in the field of journalism are gathered together, well-known reporters, editors, famous program hosts, so many people gathered together, it can be regarded as a group of sages, and the humble room is shining!" ”

Qi Tianxiang's words triggered a knowing smile, and after waiting for the calm in the conference room, Qi Tianxiang said slowly: "The field of propaganda and ideology should be the most important ideological and public opinion position of the party and the government, an important channel for disseminating the voice of the party and the government, and an important bridge for disseminating mainstream values and mass demands. I have no problem with saying that the important thing is always at the end, because good food is always the finale! I have no objection to saying that I am dissatisfied with the reality and the current situation in the field of journalism and propaganda. Again, if you don't explain it, you explain everything. Here, I only ask you to think about one question, that is, how to do news and how to do propaganda, and if you understand this problem, this symposium will be meaningful, otherwise any high-level meeting and any important speech will be just a momentary fragment, and the existence is superfluous, so don't say anything. ”

While talking and laughing, Qi Tianxiang's topic became serious, and his expression became serious, and even a little mean, "Just now Minister Liang talked about the problem of the news service object, and he didn't finish his words or explain them thoroughly, but I understood the meaning, that is, the helplessness of both dissatisfaction and regret, which is one of the questions I want you to think about, the question of who to serve." ”

Without allowing any reaction in the conference room, Qi Tianxiang continued: "There is no problem in saying that the news is the mouthpiece of the party and the government. The voices of the party and the government, especially some major political strategies, need to be transmitted by newspapers, television, magazines, and radio broadcasts to achieve the goal of publicizing them widely and letting the broad masses of the people know and understand their implementation. Some outstanding achievements in local economic and social development, some advanced work experience and practices, and the deeds and typical experiences of some advanced and exemplary figures need to be widely disseminated by the media to achieve the goal of popularizing and learning. This is the responsibility of the news media, it is an unshirkable mission, and it is necessary and inevitable to do a good job, otherwise there will be no need for existence. ”

"But if you do these well, will you be able to sit back and relax, I don't think so." Qi Tianxiang's expression became more and more severe, and his language was close to snarky, "If you do these well, you can only say that you are conscientious, to put it bluntly, you can apply it normally, and there is still a big distance from good and excellent, this is like a gramophone, but it is far from enough, because there is no innovation, there is no service with greater functions, and there will always be a day when it will be eliminated." Excuse me, who still has a gramophone now? Who still uses a phonograph? ”

"In the current multimedia era, all media and self-media are booming, the Internet, mobile phones, and various communication tools are spreading their own voices, their own views, and their own demands. Follow the leader, the leader's voice is tomorrow's front page news, is the focus of tonight's TV news, such a service is no problem, can get the satisfaction of the leader, but in the long run, our work is different from the gramophone, what is the difference with the video recorder, what is the meaning of existence? Qi Tianxiang's words became heavy, and he seemed to be thinking, but the words he said were well thought out.

"Only the top, not only the middle, not only the bottom, the channel of transmission can only be one-way, there is no source of living water, there will always be a time to dry up, there is always the fate of abandonment." Qi Tianxiang quickened the speed of his speech, as if in this way he could be consistent with his increasingly excited emotions, "As the mouthpiece of the party and the government, we should think of how to carry out our work creatively, how to better get close to society, reality, and people's lives, and do a good job in the propaganda of uploading and disseminating, as well as the feedback work of transmitting and transmitting, this is what we must do as a journalist, and it is an unavoidable responsibility." ”

Qi Tianxiang stopped when he said this, looked around the conference room again, and then said slowly: "These may sound tantamount to clichés to some people, reflecting the people's feelings, paying attention to public opinion, and truly reproducing the real life of ordinary people, this is not new, nor is it my Qi Tianxiang's creativity, but the basic requirements for journalistic work, the question is whether we have done it?" What is happening on tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in our city, especially the lives of ordinary people? What do they want, what do they want, do we report truthfully? ”

"There is also the question of perspective, such a question seems to have little to do with the news and propaganda work of all of you here, but it is not a dispensable issue, and it is also a question of who serves, which I talked about at the symposium of the literary and artistic circles the day before yesterday, and today I want to talk about it again and discuss it with you." Qi Tianxiang's expression gradually softened a little, he glanced at Liang Bingyu and several ministers left and right, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, I don't need to say this, a long time ago, in the forties of the last century, in an inconspicuous ravine in northern Shaanxi, the founder of our party put forward the 'two for' principle of literature and art, which became an important guiding principle for our party to seize power and build a socialist country. But the question is, is the policy still the same, and is the will to implement and implement it resolute? Do you still have such a firm approval in your heart? ”

"It's an old saying that what kind of worldview we have, what kind of methodology we have, but as those of us who have mastered the mainstream media and voices, whether we still have firm beliefs, whether we still resolutely share the fate with the nation and the country, and breathe with the people, this is what we should all ask ourselves. When we understand these issues, we can understand what kind of values the media should adhere to, what kind of voice should be transmitted, and why people should serve. The mainstream values and the role of the main channel depend on each of us to promote and implement the news and media, which is our conscience and our mission. ”

"I am not making a report at today's forum, and I can't just listen to what I say, so I would like to invite comrades to speak their minds freely! You can be scathing, you can be ruthless, you can talk about problems, you can talk about phenomena, but you just don't wear a top hat and don't show determination. ”

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, he still looked at everyone with a serious expression, as if he had not finished saying anything, and in the face of everyone's applause, the expression on his face was not too relaxed, and he even fell into deep worry.

"Secretary Qi said a question that is worth thinking about, and as all practitioners in the field of propaganda and journalism, we must seriously think about such a question." Liang Bingyu's speech was equally serious and severe, "News units, especially newspapers, television and other comprehensive media units, propaganda and public opinion guidance should always be a clear and clear issue, just like the question that Secretary Qi just asked everyone to think about, who should the news serve, how should it serve, how to effectively help economic and social development, how to reflect the voice of the people, reflect real life, especially the contradictions in reality, which requires each of us to think seriously and put into practical action. This is reflected in our specific work. ”

Liang Bingyu glanced at everyone in the conference room, and said in a scathing tone: "Secretary Qi is very tolerant and kind, his words are very subtle and gentle, this is to save face for us and do our best to maintain our dignity, in fact, if you want me to say, it is okay not to keep such face, leaving too much will only make us more complacent and more self-righteous." ”

"News and entertainment, entertainment and propaganda, many people don't understand, it seems that prosperity and harmony should be happy, should be entertained, there are no boundaries, there are no mainstream values, and even irresponsible nonsense, it seems that you can do whatever you want if you have the right to speak, spoof history, slander heroes, subvert traditional values, as if catering to readers or audiences, you have all the economic benefits you want, these vulgar trends cannot be fundamentally reversed, we will eventually lose our position, and we will be abandoned by society and the people."
