Three years later, i was invited againChina news prizeSelection. I'm still hereTelevision newsGroup, in charge of the newsCommentsAndTopicThe initial evaluation was also, of course, conducted for all news. Although the basic framework for the chinese press awards has not changed much compared to the previous one, there have been many changes in both the production situation and the selection process, and there are many areas worth analysing and discussing. Here's something about personal feelings for the press。
What works come out
About the news. It's a regular television news broadcast, and many local stations do nothing worse than central television. The successful landing of the kato 9 back module of inner mongolia television, the safe return of the three astronauts, is a well-planned and well-reported reflection of the historic feat of god and our space hero. Many years ago, one scholar pointed out that our media was in a crisis of “mainstream news marginalization”, and that this “mainstream news” was mainly about current affairs. However, this year's award-winning works seem to be working to reverse the crisis. The most excellent live interview with gansu radio film and television, reporter witness: five trailed workers rescued in the lanzhou tree tunnel, featured two scenes for the audience, one after the rescue, and one before the rescue through a journalist interview. It should be noted here that such interviews, in order to reflect a human interest, must be carried out only with the physical consent of the person rescued and avoid causing secondary harm to the person concerned。
Television news today cannot rely solely on video material of professional journalists, but also on the full mobilization of video material such as mobile cameras and surveillance videos to better present news sites. The crowd was impressed by the footage of the security guards in the surveillance video showing the assailants waving a knife and by the university student zhang zheng zhang zheng's flying leg, which was taken by the roadman's mobile phone. This is also the work of the shanghai radio and television (shanghai radio and television) entitled "the old man falls out of people's perceptions " , in which journalists found clues from citizens on the call system to film the entire process of a young man trying to rescue an elderly man who fainted. If that is all, then it is just an ordinary story. However, the fact that journalists were aware of all the incidents and that young men were trying to save their lives by asking bystanders to take a video to prove their innocence determined that the news could trigger deeper social thinking。
Comment. While many comments were more topical at the time of the last election, there was progress in this year's television news review. A similar comment was made by sioux state radio and television about the new “officials” of the “choose mountain bell” and the idea of monitoring online public opinion. The illegal acquisition of a gamma knife with a ray in the terminal hospital triggered a collective street protest by the surrounding residents, which attracted the attention and enthusiasm of the first government-sponsored online forum, the cold mountain watch, which was run by the monitoring committee. As soon as opinion points such as the final “gamma knife” and official accountability emerged within the forum, journalists intervened in a timely manner, providing comprehensive coverage of the causes, handling and subsequent developments. After having accumulated enough material, journalists began by recalling the gamma knife, highlighting the additional positive energy released by the online forum: monitoring, punishing and even directly promoting local policy regulations. Behind these achievements is a set of mechanisms that specifically address the demands of netizens and that can function efficiently。
Television news topic. The topic of television news has traditionally been the most competitive in the selection process, and many works have done well, and are therefore unique in terms of social impact and subject matter. Central tv's secrets in the capsule was undoubtedly the most sensational story of the past year, with journalists travelling for tens of thousands of miles through eight months of undercover research, documenting the industrial chain from industrial plastics to half-finished capsules to pharmaceutical capsules. The whole interview was solid, factual and accurate, and it opened an amazing black screen from small capsules that could not be easily detected. On the other hand, guangdong tv, veterans home, gave the audience a deep sense of love for the country and the spirit of the nation. At present, there are two approaches to news topics: investigative coverage and documentary style, both of which require attention, but the subject must have a head and background and not be a mere documentary。
Television series (continuing, combined), interviews, live broadcasts and organization. Since they do not work in this group, it is difficult to make an objective assessment and can only make a few observations. There has been a marked increase in live news coverage of events this year, which was mostly ceremonial in the past in our country. From the programme alone, both central television's east african wildlife migration and beijing television's 7/21 beijing twist rains are doing well. But at the time of last year's heavy rains in beijing, what news was the public's greatest concern? The answer is clear. It follows that a journalistic work cannot be viewed in isolation from one another。
The news eye of jiangsu radio and television general in the radio column emerged, and central television news internews again failed. In objective terms, there have been a number of innovations, but there have been many challenges, in the past year. It can be said that a two-step step back or two-step back is still a distance from the demands of the people. It may be a good thing to be the driving force behind it. In their private exchanges, they were deeply held in shackles and danced, and were touched by their professionalism and pursuit。
Every award is reviewed
Each award is an excellent review of local news and reflects disparities in journalism perceptions, news operations, etc. It is a test of the merit of the news workers and a review of the level of judges at the provincial and municipal levels, including their philosophy and sense of innovation。
This video shows some positive developments:
The news of the current state of affairs is popular and economic coverage is visualized. In television news coverage, current news and economic reporting is a topic. This award-winning work has led to a breakthrough in this area, such as henan tv's “tripleize” chess to solve the “hard” of henan through three character stories about the difficulties faced by farmers in increasing their incomes, restructuring their agricultural industries and restructuring their industries. This has led to the development of new rural communities through the spontaneous and voluntary construction of rural communities, the extraction of land as a stock resource and the creation of alternatives for industrial and agricultural development. This macro-oppositional economic coverage is well received, and it is important to add value to the atmosphere。
New mediaTools are widely used. The live mobile video captures a good shot of a fighter at a time of crisis, kicking down a bad guy zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zheng zhu zhang zhang zhu zhang zhang zhu zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhang zhu zhu zhu zhang zhang zhu zhang zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu zhu these pieces are live stories that draw on and integrate citizen journalists and mobile video, which also shows an innovative trend in television journalism in the context of the new media。
Carefully planned production and efforts to improve the quality of reporting. While some news is not necessarily of great value, its value can be maximized through the efforts of journalists. For example, the successful landing of the shengzhou 9 back pod, the safe return of three astronauts, and the reporter's witness: five trailed workers rescued in the lanzhou peach tunnel were not reported for the first time, but more detailed interviews with journalists allowed the audience to obtain more up-to-date information。
However, during the production and presentation of the television news, the following problems remained:
Quality awareness. The china press prize is the most authoritative and high-ranking press award in china. It requires that the winning works should not be hard-on, and that the first prize should not be flawed. Unfortunately, a number of works are lost to first-class awards because of different words. For example, hubei radio and television's "girl 18th big story", which is a great piece of "eggs in futures" for farmers' patriots, dropped to third-class prizes for "falling" subtitles. Faced with the impact of the new media, it is hoped that the traditional mainstream media will take a hard look at quality, which is the foundation of the media。
Strengths need to be strengthened. The “news stand” is based on the “competence of commentary”, and live broadcasting is one of the competitive advantages of television news, but comments, interviews and live broadcasts still need to be strengthened. In the case of television reviews, which are in fact covered by press reviews and interviews, some of the former are more like news topics, while in the latter they lack talk shows with conflicting views. In addition, the force of comment needs to be strengthened and the guest of comment needs to be strengthened。
While progress has been made, live coverage of breaking news events remains low. Of course, live broadcasting is risky, but unpredictableness is the charm of live news, and if we abandon it for fear of responsibility, we will replace it. It is expected that live news coverage will become more regular and provide more live coverage of emergencies。
Official rank. The chinese press prize has limited the number of awards for the work of the secretary-general and the prime minister on news. As a result of his relationship with the drum ridge, fujian has sent several such news articles, resulting in the total destruction of the army. News related to party and national leaders must also be truly newsworthy and well done to win the prize. This also reflects the fact that a number of media outlets are highly motivated and run counter to news dissemination。
Perceptions lag. One refers to ideas and the other to journalism. Like gansu radio film and television, "can the sprained dates be sweet? " shows that the government teaches farmers to grow land in vain, which is incredible in the developed regions. However, it has been decades since the reform of openness and economic development, and such topics have become very old and difficult to produce. There are also a number of topics that have been presented for evaluation, and it is difficult to win awards if there is no conceptual innovation。
Cognitive error. The report by shenyang radio and television, " who touched your pension? " , which we think is more like a research report, can be internalized rather than popularized, and local stations are often unconvinced of national issues. The re-emplacement of the five-star red flag on the main reef of savannah by the east watch reporter has created news and is not appropriate for promotion。
Old ways. The release of beijing tv, " beijing scientists solve the hepatitis b mystery " , is a major news story, unfortunately not done. The fact that chinese scientists have been able to overcome the scientific difficulties that have not been resolved in 60 years abroad is a matter of world attention, but the lack of a professional interpretation of the report with objective authority also points to the urgent need to improve the level of scientific and technological journalism。
While these problems exist in news reports and works, they also reflect a lag in the perception of the lack of merit and advocacy management of journalists in these constituencies. What i wonder is whether the work that was sent to the review really represents the highest level of the province's authority. If so, the level of press coverage in the province needed to be improved; if not, some judges might wish to liberate their minds and change their mindsets and not become a stumbling block in the way of press reform and programming. Of course, there may also be a question of whether the selection rules are well designed. Can awards be truly fair and equitable at all levels
Not the best. Only the best
I can say responsibly that the china press prize is a serious and authoritative national-level contest. It has established a strict set of rules for the selection of works, made them available online prior to their evaluation. The judges have worked hard and have sought to select the best news products of the year in an open mind. Of course, the press awards are also an intellectually subjective exercise, and absolute fairness and accuracy cannot be fully achieved. When it comes to the chinese press prize, people tend to be interested in comparing it with the pulitzer prize. Of course, national circumstances are not necessarily comparable. However, the question of how to make the china press prize the flagship of the industry and how to make first-class works a model for news is a matter for the jury to discuss after each election, and this is no exception。
How can systems be better designed to be open, fair and just? Although the selection process for the chinese press prize has been improving and perfecting, there are still areas where it is unsatisfactory. For example, increasing the number of judges, while reducing the probability of human interference, makes it difficult to ensure the authoritative and professional nature of the selection, on the one hand by the limited time available to judges for too many works and, on the other hand, by the different professions in which the most serious selections can be made only in groups。
How can awards be classified, and how can the style of news and programming be kept up to date and keep pace with news developments? For example, short news, short reviews on television and news, which have suffered from a small number of cases, can short news and development be encouraged and promoted by modifying the selection? For example, a short news category has been added or a percentage has been set in the award。
New media developments are overwhelming, could they be included in the press awards? Like weibo news, the judges had a lively discussion. Want to comment? How? The association has begun to give priority and positive consideration, and i hope that the academic community will be involved in this new subject。
Moreover, i feel that the china press prize is not strong enough in its impact and presence, and that it is not sufficiently well publicized. I understand that a number of journalists on the front line do not know where to see the outstanding work of the china news prize. It cannot be said that every award-winning piece of the china news prize is a model, but there are many areas to learn from. It can be said that it is a learning class where journalists are charging and making progress. It is true that the cica website also needs to be more visible and influential in order to better serve journalists. At the same time, i hope that the china press prize will expand its influence in journalism schools and make its due contribution to the training of its successors. My graduate students took part in the pulitzer prize winner's press workshop at the hong kong baptist university, and she returned to her news aspirations after a zero distance contact with the pulitzer laureate. The power of example is infinite, why not organize similar outreach and exchange activities? This is of great benefit to industry and academia。
Brainstorming, continuous improvement, no better, only better. It was to be hoped that the next china press awards would continue to rise to a higher level and increase their impact. In the new media era, we want our newsers to keep up with the times, our news work and our creative peers。
