Death of a Newspaper-man: Analysis on The Lan Chengzhang Murder Case and the

Death of a Newspaper-man: Analysis on The Lan Chengzhang Murder Case and the Related Ethical Issues of Chinese Journalism Author: Wang Pei **Introduction ** It is said that being a Journalist is one of the most dangerous profession in the world. Until recently, this probably has not been true in modern China. According to an annual report published by the Paris-based ‘Reporters Without Borders’, in 2006, eighty-one journalists and thirty two media assistants were killed in 2006, among which only two are Chinese(RSF 2006). Compared with the fact that 4,746 Chinese miners died in underground explosions, fires and floods last year(Watts 2007), this is a rather small death toll. It is no wonder why the public was so shocked and puzzled, when the news that Lan Chengzhang, an employee of a Chinese newspaper, beaten to death by a coal mine owner and his gang, was reported by Chinese and international media. Even the president, Mr. Hu Jintao and other top leaders of China were paying attention to this case, according to the state news agency. ...

“刊登一切适宜的图片”

《纽约时报》的信条是,“刊登一切适宜的新闻(All the News That’s Fit to Print)”。 3月18日,《纽约时报》网站在一篇关于拉啊萨的“适宜的新闻”标题下,配上了一张更事宜的图片。 一般读者看到这位被拖曳的喇嘛后什么感觉?会觉得北京正在镇压,而且用的是很不和平的手段。 但是细心的读者会发现,照片下面有两行说明文字。 上面的英文写道“A Tib-etan monk was dragged away by the police in Katmandu, Nepal, on Monday during a rally at United Nations offices”。“在尼泊尔加德满都,一位在联合国门前示威的藏喇嘛正在被拖走”。 ...

写作业动了感情

昨夜作业收尾。这次写的题目是《一个报纸人之死:分析兰成长案与背后的中国新闻伦理问题》(Death of a Newspaper-man: Death of a Newspaper-man: Analysis on The Lan Chengzhang Murder Case and the Related Ethical Issues of Chinese Journalism )。 这是我写得最仔细的一篇作业,参考了12本新闻伦理的书,20几篇学术论文,以及网上可以看到的大部分兰成长案的新闻。 文章最后是这么写的-- Lan Chengzhang’s death has enabled a lot of Chinese to see the dark side of the media system and society. Thus, the bottle of secrets has been opened. Currently, hot debates concerning social justice, media reforms and journalistic ethics are still underway. On Netease, a Chinese news portal, the majority of internet users are condemning the murderers and the disheartened officials, and appealing for more journalists to meet the public’s expectation by chasing truth and justice. Although the Lan case is still waiting for a trial. All believe that Lan should not die in vain. 写到这里,我感觉自己眼圈发红,于是又写到-- ...

轻轻松松学伦理,快快乐乐写作业

我们的MPA课程已经进行了一半,刚学完目前最有用的一门课:XX伦理。XX可以用任何专业所代替,我研究的方向是新闻伦理。 不学不知道,原来搞新闻这个行当还需要伦理。其实这个问题我以前在懵懂中思考过,嘉禾作弊案的时候,关于电视台偷拍考场伤及无辜考生一事,我还在网上跟人家发生过论战。但那时候的我,还缺乏理论武器,也不具备专业知识。现在好了,我可以用亚里士多德、康德、孔子、边沁、蜜尔、罗尔斯的理论跟别人论战,同时旁征博引世界新闻史上的经典案例(我案头放着6本新闻伦理的著作)。 学习伦理,除了上面所说的收获之外,还增加了阅读哲学原著的能力。为了写作业,我读了罗尔斯《A theory of justice》的1/3,何怀宏解读正义论的1/2,还有国外学者写的批评性书。读这些佶屈聱牙的原著,脑子经常会短路,但是我不怕,换根保险丝继续干。勤奋的阅读让我明白,原来让自由主义者奉为经典的东西,不过如此。要说真正思想上的杀伤力,语言上的战斗力,还得看我家的马克思! ...

比利时电视台假新闻事件

12月13日,比利时一家国有公共电视台(类似于我国的CCTV)在晚间新闻(类似于新闻联播)之后,突然播出了一条新闻:北部佛兰德地区宣布独立。在接下来的1个半小时之内,该电视台公信力最高的主持人(类似罗京),主持了一个特别报道。只见皇宫前激动的人群,为国家完整而请命;刚果首都金沙萨的记者现场报道说,国王Albert II 已经逃往这个前比属殖民地;在佛兰德议会大厦前,佛兰德高举旗帜,群情振奋;首都布鲁塞尔的环线道路已经封路;北约总部红色警戒;在比利时南北两区的边界上,警察在维持秩序;公众人物纷纷发表评论;本台西班牙记者,一直闹独立西班牙的凯塔尼亚群众也走上街头,决定效法。(以上内容,根据TIME杂志文章编译,复述务必注明出处。) ...
