Big things and small things, old Ginger quick comments. Here is the original review column created by ymg - big and small quick reviews.
Ginger had something to say. Hello everyone, I'm Ginger.
This issue is the 408th issue of the [Big and Small Quick Review].
On Journalists' Day, it makes sense to talk about fake news.
Fake news is often confused and surprising because of its eyeballs, and often causes bad social impact.
In 2003, the New York Times broke out a major scandal since its 152nd anniversary, that is, the "Blair Incident", some people pointed out that Blair reporters made 36 of the 76 reports with errors, and fabricated and plagiarized other people's works. The New York Times executive editor-in-chief Howell Lennis and editor-in-chief Gerald Boyd resigned because of the incident.
In the face of fake news, we should firmly say "no".
In the Chinese press, there have also been some fake news incidents.
Such as the "carton stuffed bun" event. A temporary reporter in the "Transparency" column of the former Beijing Television Station's life channel, in order to have materials, purchased a large number of flour, meat fillings and other items, asked the interviewers to chop up the soaked cardboard board and mix it into the meat filling, and made more than 20 "carton stuffed buns", which they recorded and played in secret.
As soon as the news event came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
After the reversal, the public also recognized the truth, and the journalist's integrity was shattered.
For example, according to the "Yantai Evening News", the "super pregnant woman" in Songyuan, who has been worried about readers, is pregnant with quintuplets and has a waist circumference of 1.75 meters. Just when various media reporters were worried about the safety of the quintuplets in the womb of "super pregnant woman" Qiao Yubo, Qiao Yubo quietly invited a reporter from Changchun TV Station "City Express" and the president of Changchun Puji Hospital surnamed Li in a hotel in Songyuan to say to his face that the pregnancy of quintuplets was false.
How can this rather eye-catching and quite impactful "pseudo-fact" exist under the eyes of so many intelligent journalists? If the approach of a media reporter in Songyuan is irresponsible, why are more journalists who shoulder the burden of justice rushing to it? Can't we first implement the authenticity of the news clue of "super pregnant women"? Without the hospital's examination certificate, just by virtue of the parties' one-sided words, they have seen the newspaper and promoted it? If it were not for the intervention and exposure of other media, would this "fierce material" really be able to live healthily all the time and never be exposed?
What people don't understand is that a completely fake news can run rampant in the world and broadcast all over the world.
When real journalists encounter fake news, when fake news is concocted by real journalists, and bravely hangs out in the sun to mercilessly "pollute" the eyes of readers, good people have nothing but anger in addition to feeling emotion! The reader is innocent, innocently subject to the malicious influence and deception of fake news; the reader is passive, passively feeling the foolishness of surprise.
In the Chinese press, many fake news also originated from hearsay, and reporters concocted it without interviewing and verifying. 2005's "Wang Xiaoya Chen Zhangliang Joined Hands in the Finalist City? The emergence of "fake news" such as "female college students picking up leftover steamed buns to fill hunger for nearly two years", "Chen Jiayong, a senior academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, passed away", "China's stock market: 150 billion yuan of hot money before April 30" and other "fake news" made people feel an indescribable pain, because of innocent deception, from loyal trust.
In fact, sometimes as long as the reporter makes one more phone call, or searches more on the Internet, this kind of fake news can be avoided.
In the face of fake news, we should resolutely say "no"!
