Nuclear Effluent Discharge: Four Months of Lost Focus
From the end of August to the end of December, the four-month-long incident has now disappeared from the Internet. The cause of this incident is hidden, and the public relations investment seems to have achieved the desired effect, diverting attention, downplaying the topic, and even seeming to be like a yellow river, which is difficult for anyone to find.
Behind this trend, a new problem is in front of us - the export of aquatic products. Aquatic products are not only an important source of tax revenue for the national treasury, but also closely related to people's livelihoods. The aftermath of this matter has not stopped, and several Japanese heavy industries have set foot in the aquaculture industry and completed the acquisition of some aquatic enterprises in Norway and other countries, which means that the bigwigs behind the EU aquatic enterprises have become Japanese capital.
Take salmon as an example, the mainland imports up to 80,000 tons every year. But what would happen if the salmon were to be shipped from Japan to Norway and then exported to other countries? Moreover, the flow of the contaminated water after four months and the extent of contamination no longer seem to be a concern. How widespread is its spread, and when will it affect China's coastal areas? These doubts seem to have been quietly put aside.
In the interim, tracking and vigilance against the nuclear sewage incident seems to have faded away. But by the time this sewage reaches us, it may be too late to talk about it.
First of all, the influence of public relations and public opinion operations should not be underestimated. Through funding and expert remarks, the attention and persistence of events can be effectively controlled, shifting the focus from one event to another, and blurring the public's vision. In this case, the loss of attention is not a spontaneous decision of the public, but the result of external intervention.
Second, information saturation can lead to a decrease in attention. The general public receives a large amount of information in a short period of time, and is prone to fatigue, so they gradually lose sustained interest in an event. It can also be a significant factor in the oblivion of the event.
Finally, the shift in public opinion may also have an impact on the attention of the event. When other unexpected or more compelling topics arise, the public may quickly turn their attention to new events and lose interest in previous ones.
The combination of these factors has led to a gradual decline in the attention paid to the nuclear sewage discharge incident, but this does not mean that the problem has been solved or disappeared. Instead, more media attention and public engagement are needed to ensure that issues are addressed and regulated.
In an age of information influx, the loss of focus often does not mean the disappearance of the problem. The incident is gradually disappearing from the public eye, but this does not mean that it has been resolved. The power of public relations, the saturation of information, and the shift in public opinion can lead to a loss of attention on certain important issues.
However, it is our responsibility as citizens to pay attention to and monitor social issues, whether they are in the spotlight of public opinion or not. It is only through sustained attention and action that we can ensure that important issues are properly addressed and resolved, safeguarding our shared future and well-being.
The silence of public opinion does not mean that the problem disappears, but often covers up the problem.
During this time, events seem to have faded into the public eye. Why do you think people don't pay attention to this matter anymore in this situation?
