The media, in addition to the information channels for the world, has gradually become a part of the power structure with the changes of the times.

In Western countries, an interest group elects a political spokesperson, and in the competition for the hearts and minds of the people in the race for the national weapon, the role of the media is no more obvious, and the direction of public opinion guided by the media, which often has the greatest influence and authority, directly determines the ultimate success or failure of the power game!

The interests at stake, the political stance, and the forces that contribute to the effect are all important factors in determining which political spokesperson these media will support!

In China, due to institutional reasons, the spread of the media is far less pervasive and unscrupulous than that of Western countries, but the energy hidden behind the scenes should not be underestimated in the slightest.

At first, the term originated from a well-known newspaper in Lingnan Province, and later due to political and other factors, the major media under the jurisdiction of this newspaper group actually formed a series of their own, spreading and expanding their own public opinion positions from newspapers and periodicals, the Internet, and radio and television!

It's just that with the rapid economic development of the south, especially the Lingnan region, the essence of this mouthpiece has gradually undergone subtle changes, and the signs of right-leaning have become more and more obvious.

Just like the line struggle back then, although the coffin has long been closed, the game competition under the table has always continued, and media public opinion has become an important force!

Today's public opinion channels are far less in full swing than they were a few years later. So that the characteristics of the southern department are far less obvious, but as a person who has come over, Chen Xiao knows that in a few years, this public opinion force will cause a violent turmoil in the media circle, and when those bigwigs in the capital come to their senses, they find that it has reached the point where it is difficult to control!

At this moment, when he heard Su Beiwang mention it, Chen Xiao immediately understood. Due to the influence of Old Man Su, this father-in-law is estimated to have already noticed the line tendency of these southern media, and he has moved his mind......

Su Beiwang said quietly: "You have been dealing with the media for so long, and you have a good relationship with the Southern Press Group. I've probably heard of some of them, what do you think? ”

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "I have some understanding, compared to the media circle in the north. The mind is more active, and the courage is more open. There are fewer constraints and taboos...... I think the main reason is due to the reform and opening up, as well as the influence of the media circles in Xiangjiang and Nanyang. ”

Su Beiwang smiled, "It's to the core, it's good." ”

Then he asked, "Then you think you should encourage such a culture?" Or inhibition? ”

Chen Xiao couldn't figure out her father-in-law's full thoughts, so she had to say vaguely: "I'm an outsider after all." It's hard to point fingers, but I can only roughly say some sensory ......"

"Speak freely in front of your father and old man, why are you holding back from me?" Su Beiwang smiled and said: "Even if you say it, the two of us can't talk about this courtyard." ”

Chen Xiao smiled, but still didn't dare to take it lightly. After considering his words, he said, "You should have everything in your heart." In fact, in the final analysis, the media is only a mouthpiece, and no matter how obvious its role in the mouth of public opinion is, it is impossible to put power above the head of the government; as long as the party committee and government firmly hold this pen in the palm of their hand, tighten what should be tight, loosen what should be loose, and grasp the overall direction without deviating, there will be no major problems. ”

"Politics has left and right, media public opinion also has a difference in position, in ancient times, advocating a hundred schools of thought, there was a grand occasion of various schools competing for glory, the European Renaissance is also the reason, like the coexistence of our country's state-owned economy and private economy, the media industry naturally cannot only have one voice, existence is reasonable, the trend of public opinion advocated by individual media in the south, although it is different from the theme advocated by the central government, sometimes the wording is also fierce, but it also plays a balancing role to a certain extent, Everything is still about seeking common ground while reserving differences. ”

"I have been doing journalism for several years, I have always felt that the media has no absolute authority, everyone's ideas and concepts are different, if you forcibly reverse the change, I am afraid it will be counterproductive, it is better to block, I believe that as long as we adhere to the role of propaganda, under the premise of reasonableness, allow these media to have a certain degree of freedom, it is still of great benefit to the economic and cultural development of the region."

"You mean it's about regulation?"

Su Beiwang nodded in affirmation, and changed his words: "That's right, but do you know how free these southern media are?" ”

"It is very easy to break the rules, not to oppose the function of these media to dominate public opinion, but everything has to be talked about to a degree, and after this degree, it will be unscrupulous, that is, there is a problem with the atmosphere."

Su Beiwang frowned, "Let me tell you clearly, the control of the party and government propaganda over the newspaper industry in the south is already very severe, and I don't want to find a way to restrain this loose horse, and when these media become the climate, if I want to correct it, I am afraid that the tail will not be lost." ”

Every time I read those publications in the southern newspaper industry, I am shocked to see that many media have done some sensational tricks in order to attract attention, and the rumors of chasing after the wind and shadows can be written in a big way, causing a storm in the city, even to the point of attacking the system, portraying our country as a purgatory on earth, but many ordinary people still like this kind of article full of cannons, and would rather fan the flames than listen to an official argument!"

"Rumors stop at the wise, but if more than five out of ten people believe it, and the rumor becomes the truth, do you expect these ten spectators to be all wise men with deaf ears and eyes?"

Chen Xiao smiled dumbly, although his father-in-law said a little passionately, but I have to say that it is indeed a true portrayal of the current and future media industry.

The development of the media, although it has promoted the transparency of public opinion, has gradually gone to the other extreme, doubting everything has almost become the consensus of many people, as long as it is the deeds and individuals of the state apparatus propaganda, it will be considered false and forged, on the contrary, as long as it is a denigration of the country, no matter who simply has no source, it is often considered to be correct, to those who watch the news broadcast ridicule and abuse, but to the Western media a punctuation mark are worshipped, as everyone knows, such as the BBC, The New York Times and other world media have been tempered for nearly a century, and their gossip skills are also world-leading.

In this case, many domestic media not only did not play a role in guiding public opinion, but on the contrary, they also did the work of adding fuel to the fire, the most obvious is that they are accustomed to serving the anecdotes of the Western world as the truth, and once something happens in the country, they will indiscriminately denounce it.

Of course, this is only a small part, and the rumors about the southern system in later generations are also quite demonized, and the actual situation is far less serious.

The fundamental reason for the discord between the newspaper industry and the propaganda system in the south is that these media have gradually communicated with many new elites, who have experienced the turbulent period of the last century, and these new elites are afraid that history will repeat themselves and fall into a place of no return, so they will use public opinion means to make every effort to win a gold medal for self-defense!

In a larger sense, it is the intention of the central government to balance the frontier of reform, but from the current situation, if public opinion is out of control, the goal of balance will be far away!

After meditating for a moment, Chen Xiao said: "That's the case, but there is no need to overkill, good medicine is bitter, as long as the starting point of these media is good, it is indeed to give advice to the party committee and government, or to encourage advocacy, so that the two voices can reach a benign balance, blindly suppress, but have to fall into a handle that wants to cover up, if there is indeed a certain media atmosphere is not right, then simply find one or two particularly obvious, start from the source, give appropriate warnings and guidance, there is no need to be real." ”

Su Beiwang smiled and said: "That's right, these trivial matters that are in the source are not in a hurry, but this time the petrochemical industry and power supply base project are estimated to have to be tested." ”

"Are you worried that this project will be boycotted by some media in Lingnan?"

Su Beiwang said in a deep voice: "That's right, if the petitioning woman shows up, it is likely that she will be used by someone with a heart to take advantage of the loophole, and those jackals, tigers and leopards have just been driven away, and they will bite back unprepared!" ”

"Now this is a mess!"

"Did you let her keep hiding?"

"Wait, the time hasn't come yet, let her come out now, not only will it be bad, but she will also suffer."

Su Beiwang's face turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "You have to block some people's mouths first!" ”

Chen Xiao caught the color in the corner of his eyes, and knew that he was going to take this opportunity to eradicate a certain opponent in the Lingnan area, and make an example to some of the media in the southern newspaper industry, especially the emerging elite class who control these media!

was silent, the mobile phone was buzzing, Chen Xiao glanced at the incoming call and found that Lu Penghuai's name was beating on the screen.

Su Beiwang glanced at it and said with a smile: "This person went to the capital to run a project a few days ago, is it a bridge for you to match?" ”

Chen Xiao held the mobile phone and didn't connect it, and said, "Eighty percent heard that I was here and wanted to make a banquet to thank me." ”

"Go ahead, anyway, you're idle, with him as a companion, it's good to walk around the city." Su Beiwang said with a smile: "This Lu Penghuai knows how to be flexible and understands current affairs, he is a wonderful person!" ”

"The financial gap in the energy base this time was demolished by his clever name, and in the end it was out of economic work, and his brains are much more active than those of us old men."

Chen Xiaowan smiled, ordinary officials went to Beijing to run the money, for fear that they would be diverted for other purposes in the end, but Lu Penghuai was good, he moved the money, and he was stunned to let it out, and was used by Su Beiwang and other bigwigs to build the energy base.

Those who can mix well in the officialdom are really not fuel-efficient!
