What's the news

"the article begins."

In the morning, the cell phone was turned on and the information sent was beating in the lock interface; the front page of the newspaper was changing through the newsstand; and the golden hour of the evening, when the host gave the news of the day, which constituted the hairy veins of the modern world, and the blood that flowed from it was called ""Public information"special information form。

I. Information precision fishing: the essence of journalism

When china's first telecommunications article was published in the proclamation in 1882, the speed of transmission was reduced from weeks to hours; in 2023, the first draft of the chatgpt-generated news was only 0. 3 seconds, and under the appearance of technology, the news remained focused on three core features: authenticity required that each detail should be cross-checked, timeliness set a time limit for information, and public nature determined thatDisseminationThe necessary scale, the associated press's 2021 update manual, specifically emphasizes: "when the truth takes time to sink, breaking incomplete information is tantamount to creating new fog."

Ii. The cognitive revolution in the evolution of the media

The trader's hunting record, as recorded in the oracle, can be considered as the earliest "press communiquÉ"; the daily chronicle, updated daily in ancient rome square, provides for information-sharing with plaster panels, and the geometric growth in the efficiency of news dissemination following the appearance of the gudenburg printing press in 1450, is of concern that users of the 5g-era short video platform have been watching the news for 72 minutes on a daily basis, but the reuters institute's 2023-digit news report points out that fragmentation reading has reduced the opening rate for in-depth reporting by 37 per cent, forcing practitioners to rebalance the relationship between speed and depth。

Iii. Invisible rulers for value judgements

Is it news that a traffic accident occurred somewhere? The decision-making process in the new york times department shows that only when there are more than three casualties, when there is a loophole in the public security system, or when the person concerned has a special identity, will the event enter the reporting landscape, a choice that reflects the five dimensions of the value judgement of the news: importance, proximity, prominence, modernity and taste. The british bbc, when reporting on the royal news, has dedicated a " public interest test" to ensuring that the need for reporting transcends public curiosity。

The nervous system of the social organism

During the australian mountain fire in 2019, abc television was broadcast live over a period of 78 hours, not only updating the dynamics of the fire, but also contributing to the precision of the movement of civilian relief forces, which attests to the triple social function of the media: environmental surveillance needs to be as sensitive as meteorological radar, social coordination functions are similar to urban traffic lights, and cultural transmission functions are like mobile museums. It is worth noting that the world press association's 2022 survey indicated that in public health emergencies, the confidence of mainstream media was 41 percentage points higher than that of social media。

V. Eternal game of borders and responsibilities

When a star's scandal is at the top of the search list, africa's food crisis reports tend to have less than 5 per cent hits, and this imbalance in the distribution of attention leads to newsEthicsThermometer concept: journalists need to measure whether the heat of an event matches the perceived temperature that the public really needs, and the principle upheld by the pulitzer prize winner elizabeth rubin in his field coverage is worth drawing: "in displaying suffering, human light is to be seen by the audience; in documenting atrocities, the bottom line of dignity must be preserved."

At the moment when algorithms are sent for the construction of the information cocoon, quality news is like the blade of a cocoon, which is neither a fragmentary talk of social platforms, nor an emotional catalyst for the flow, but a professional reality map that answers a fundamental question when every news is produced: how should we understand the world today? The answer to this question will ultimately determine the colour and quality of social collective memory。
