Network, new wave, news andManagementIt is an indispensable four-pronged path to the realization of human values. Networks are the foundation, new waves are the platform, news is the sine qua non, and management is the guarantee。
First contact with the network
Chen zheng remembers very well his first touch of the net, which was the first time that chen zheng, who was studying ii, was online in a company of a friend in nakamura. At that time, the internet had just entered china, for use only by large scientific institutions, news agencies and very few large companies, and few people knew about it, let alone had access to this magical world。
When he heard the cat's "zz" dialling, chen was excited and anxious, like a lover waiting for his first date. When the red-worded cnn site was on the screen, chen was so open and he said, "i saw the juicy news!" it's completely different from what we've seen before...” from the company of a friend, chen went straight to the bank and took a “grand sum” from his meagre savings to buy a “cat” on the market for spare parts in central guanamura. The “cat” was expensive at that time, almost $2,000, while chen zheng went to graduate school with a monthly living allowance of 260. “it's so impulsive to remember now!” he recalled。
Since then, chen has not left the network. In april 1997, chen zheng met with li, founder of the four-tone sports sharon online. Chen xin suggested that if he were to be the owner of the sports salon, the number of visits would be tenfold higher. Shortly thereafter, he officially became the owner of the four-way sports salon. At the end of november 1997, the four parties launched its first channel, the sports channel. When chen zhen put the news that he had searched behind the channel, the flow of sports channels quickly exceeded the forum of fire。
When chen was beginning to be satisfied with his achievements, he felt another kind of pressure -- who paid for his "info"? Chen, who used to hang out on the internet, spent over 1,700 calls for a month. “when i saw that phone bill, i almost fainted, and i couldn't tell my wife how to live on it.” chen recalled, “how can i afford to pay this luxury as a matter of urgency.” at the end of 1997, reports of visits to the website indicated that there had been more than 10,000 traffic, while the chen pipe accounted for a significant portion. It was also from that date that the four parties paid a monthly allowance of $600. In response to the need for work, chen zheng also moved thousands of dollars worth of scanners back home, saying, “it was so successful that he woke up several times in his dream that he could `feed the net'”
Graduated from chen chong in 1998, he declined the invitation of several well-known transnational corporations, including nokia, and went to the four-way side where the future was uncertain. Chen zheng had a high title at the time, known as the chief editor of the website, which was responsible for all content matters, as well as external media liaison, management forums, etc. Chen zheng described himself as “equivalent to the head of the production workshop” and “i am a lightweight commander, for a long time, although i have been in charge of a lot of things”
In the same year, the four-tone side and the largest chinese-language site in north america were merged and officially renamed new wave, making it the largest chinese-language site in the world。
Take the new wave
With the title of senior vice-president and editor-in-chief, chen xing's experience and china's largest portal are inseparable. The beginning of the new wave, his personal ups and downs and downs, his 10-year editorial career, his dramatic transformation, his rolling news becoming the biggest feature of the new wave, his great success in reporting on such major events as the war in kosovo, the taiwan earthquake, china's accession to the wto, the sydney olympics and the events of 11 september, and his strong strength in building the content of the new wave on a global chinese-language website, all of which are well documented in his mother's body, and, of course, his personal success, along with that of the new wave。
The new wave news model dates back to 1997, when it was dominated by sports news. At that time, the number of internet users in the country was only 620,000 and, with the exception of the people's daily website, the number of websites updating the news daily was limited throughout the country. Chen zheng said that the electronic version of the people's daily newspaper had been updated only once a day, and that the new wave had been able to update six or seven times a day, with dozens of news items rolling。
The french world cup in 1998 was an important turning point in chen’s online news, where he came up with a life-threatening attitude and introduced a completely new workflow — a 24-hour rolling update. He directs all editors in the rear to record, upload and update content 24 hours a day, with a record of 3 million visits per day in one quarter of the finals and a record of visits to chinese websites. So far to the gulf crisis, the united states and the united kingdom struck iraq for four days. On the second day of the war, the new wave began to set up a 24-hour rolling air, “so far, no second family has actually done what we did: the first day, five o'clock, we didn't send a message until seven o'clock, which was early, but we felt clearly insensitive. The next day we called at four or five, and we didn't release until seven or eight. I feel the problem of time lags. So it was decided that the night was broadcast and people were on duty, which was what the war needed.” because of the need for war, the news editors of the new wave are institutionalized overnight。
In august 2000, when zhang jian crossed the strait of the sea, sino-hong reported in close proximity that a company's vice-president had spoken with his subordinates during lunchtime about news from the new wave. From “united states bombing of my embassy in yugoslavia” in may 1999 to “central america crash” in april 2000 to “september 11” in 2001. There is almost no new wave of major news, and this is the most exciting place in the world: “we've been doing very well. Now is the best we can do.”
For all those who work in the media, the events of 11 september became a unique “good” opportunity in their careers. This is particularly true of websites. Chen zheng recalled that at the time of the events of 11 september, he was at his home and suddenly received a telephone call from an editor of the new wave. When he rushed to the office, he did not realize that the situation was so serious until the moment when the world trade organization building collapsed。
Just after midnight, more than 20 editors, more than a dozen translators and more than 30 technicians from beijing city arrived and concentrated in small offices. They send a message one second apart, sometimes two. This unexpected event, which was described by chen as more significant than hitler's invasion of poland and pearl harbor, helped the new wave to some extent to reaffirm its strength. According to chen, two hours after the incident, “there are hundreds of news stories on the new wave, and the number of other websites is only a fraction of the new wave”
The new wave was the first internet commercial site to start news and operated in a more scientific manner, with many of the 24-hour news update models that began in 1998 only after a year or two. It goes without saying that the content of the new wave has its own characteristics in terms of speed and number of updates, so many people have become accustomed to reading news of the new wave every day, especially in case of emergencies。
In 2005, chen shui wrote and published the new wave, deconstructing it. It is well known that the rise of the new wave has benefited from two things: first, the first 24-hour rollover of news in 1999, the absence of a night watch system for other commercial and official news sites, and the fact that the demand for news from the internet was not so great in the age of the new wave that it hit the “cave” of the online news, with a strong impulse to “inspector”; second, a comprehensive system of news editors, uploads, including cooperation with traditional media, the production of news titles, and translation coverage of offlines has been developed。
It is well known in the industry that chinese standards, often evaluated by members of the internet community abroad, say, first, that china’s website is overcrowded (too crowded) and informative; and second, “target= blank”, the title opens a new window. Even yahoo had to abandon his american standards and approach china's “portals”。
And the reason for this internet usage in china is chen shui. It is he who has developed two very personal internet chinese standards, “big volume of information on the front page” and “new window on the title”. According to the source, there is a small story. Chen zheng said that he had not known for a long time that he could open more than one browser window, and had been using one browser window to go online, one day it became apparent that more than a few windows could be opened, while another window could download pages and make the internet more efficient. Thus, perhaps in order to avoid similar mistakes by most chinese netizens, he made it mandatory to add “target=blank” to the title of the news centre. In other words, chen’s personal reading habits ultimately determined the reading habits of most chinese netizens。
Realizing themselves in news and management
Chen zheng holds a bachelor's degree in electronic engineering from beijing industrial university, a master's degree in communications from beijing polytechnic university and a master's degree in journalism from people's university of china, and received an emba degree from the central european institute of international business in 2005. He's more like an expert with three master's degrees. Then his connection with the mandarin news is inexcusable, and the unique understanding of the news accumulated at the chinese people’s university school of journalism, combined with his original engineering, communications and subsequent managerial skills, has created a myth of china’s cybernews and a way of extracting information from chinese netizens。
As with all peers, chen chen of the student age has made up many beautiful dreams for his future: scientists, artists, football stars, and he has dreamed of being a great journalist. Now he finally finds his cheese, which makes him feel like heaven loves himself. “i've loved the news since i was a kid, and i'm very proud of what i'm doing. The news is a play that's playing, and it's more attractive than any big piece, and you get a lot of fun from the plot. I've been following the details of the media, listening to bbc in my dormitory in college and then watching cnn. The hostage incident at the peruvian embassy in previous years was updated every 15 minutes by cnn. This 15-minute is not much different from a 15-minute follow-up, but there is always new information, and this spirit is very much affecting me. I think the most important thing in the news is to keep providing new information.”
It could be said that his understanding of the news was thorough, and it was on that basis that he had succeeded in building the fourth most successful model of the media in china, which had set the rules of the online news game. The image of the manager, on the other hand, follows these achievements。
Chen chang has been senior vice-president of the new wave and chief editor of the new wave network since november 2003 and has overall responsibility for the operation and content management of the new wave network. “the biggest difference is that i did what i did before, but now it is very, very difficult to teach you what to do. Because each individual has different development experiences and different education, the way in which issues are viewed is different and the choice of the news is different. And my personal demands on the news are perfect, my demands are harsh, and i go to my subordinates every day to consult and find our ideas on the news. I believe the same is true of traditional media, and it is very difficult to apply the old general thinking to every editor. It is more exhausting for everyone to communicate and coordinate each day. But because of the nature of the internet, there are many other things that are not news items under my control, such as the higher requirements of the short message, which, in general, is very well developed and very tired.”
Chen zheng began his work on the internet out of interest, but he slowly discovered that when he succeeded, he became less and less free.” at first there were 90 percent of the things i liked to do, but now there are only 30 percent. But i can't back down because i have a deep feeling about the new wave. I've done a lot of things like the new wave, and i think it's my duty to keep the new wave leading brand image. I have worked hard to do even things i did not want to do, and it is right and willing. And now i'm completely equal to me personally. I feel like i can't do it or i'm behind."
Although chen is now the global vice-president of the new wave network, he remains fully responsible for the core of the new wave — its content — in addition to some high-level administrative and business functions. His greatest desire is to keep his advantage of participating in the creation of a new media brand forever. As the new wave grew, it was no longer possible for him to bow and bow, so he had to let all the editors of the new wave truly understand news ideas and the rules of the game and work in harmony and with determination in the direction set。
It is difficult for most people to achieve their own interests and preferences, and only a fraction of the lucky ones are able to achieve their own worth according to their wishes. For chen chen, if news is his interest, it is his hobby to manage the new wave. He was proud to say: “only a small percentage of the chinese do what they like and at the same time receive recognition from others, from which i am happy.”
