Media's Views on the Anti-vice in Dongguan

The exposure of CCTV exposed the ugly phenomenon of the porn industry in Dongguan and triggered a rebound in online public opinion. In Sina Weibo alone, there are as many as 1.39 thousand Weibo articles about Dongguan+CCTV, among which there are many radical words such as "hanging in Dongguan" and "Dongguan doesn't cry".

Warning of "Public Opinion Carnival"

Anti-vice in Dongguan focuses on some popular basic elements: sex, women, clients (big money, Gao Fushuai), police, underworld and so on. It became the first wave of public opinion hotspots after the Spring Festival. There are some misconceptions of "destroying the three views" (world outlook, outlook on life and values), and some emotional catharsis without specific political connotation.

@ Li Crazy: 20 13, the most concerned issue for children all over the country-where did dad go? With the great attention of the government and the strong cooperation of CCTV, 20 14 finally found the answer in Dongguan.

Manny_520 WeChat platform users: It is said that all the men and women who didn't talk in the group took notes in Dongguan these two days-this is the most poisonous evaluation I have seen today, to see which comrade hasn't shown up yet.

Even scammers followed suit and invented a new scam message: "Dad, I was caught playing in Dongguan at night. Please remit 5000 yuan to the police officer's ICBC card ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The strangeness of the online public opinion field once again makes people stunned. On February 13, People's Daily published Zhong Xinwen's comment "Can the line between right and wrong be blurred? It said: In the transition period of diversified values and changeable ideas, it is impossible for China to reach an agreement on all issues, but it must have a basic consensus on some basic values. Keeping the legal bottom line, maintaining value judgment and having a sense of moral responsibility are indispensable behavior orientations in modern society and social obligations of a citizen.

The mainstream voice stepped forward.

The heated discussion about CCTV coverage in Dongguan reminds us that Xia Junfeng was executed on the eve of the 20th/Kloc-3rd National Day. On the Internet, all kinds of voices are sympathetic to Xia Junfeng, a vendor in Shenyang, demonizing the urban management, but they ignore a basic fact: this is a judgment made by the state judicial organs after several years of investigation and careful judgment.

While Xia Junfeng was sentenced to death in the first and second trial and waiting for the death penalty review in the Supreme People's Court, Xia Junfeng's family, including his son who likes painting, was cared for by netizens all over the country, and people from all walks of life donated money to help each other. However, only a few media, such as China Youth Daily and Beijing News, reported on the family status of the two urban management team members killed in Xia Junfeng: Shen Kai, Shan Chuan IV, died childless and lost his family; Zhang Xudong, daughter Bi Qiang 1 year-old, a family of three, parents and seriously ill brother, six people are squeezed into a room of less than 60 square meters. Like Xia Junfeng, they belong to a vulnerable group and deserve sympathy and help. It is generally believed that online public opinion has a "Robin Hood complex", which helps the weak and suppresses the strong. Since some netizens sympathize with sex workers in Dongguan, why do they turn a blind eye to the sadness of these two urban management families in Xia Junfeng's case?

It is not surprising that ordinary netizens often show some emotional overflow and extreme discussion, but the help of some active netizens (big V) has attracted attention since the special governance of the Internet in the fall of 20 13. At the beginning of 20 14, there is a new factor that needs serious attention, that is, the role of professional news media in the fermentation of public opinion. For the specious rumors and biased emotions of netizens on the Internet, can the news media play the role of anchoring the sea, removing the false from the true for online information and supporting the emotions of netizens?

In this public opinion in Dongguan, many metropolis newspapers in Weibo followed suit and shouted "Hang in Dongguan", which was unwise and played a role in adding fuel to the fire. If the media follows the network sentiment and becomes the opinion leader and the tail of the network populism, it will aggravate the cognitive confusion of the network public opinion field.

From the 20 13 hot public opinion, the public opinion monitoring office of People's Daily combed the coverage and activity of different types of Weibo in event exposure, fermentation, escalation and public opinion disposal to see whether the agenda setting was successfully realized or whether there was an important turning point in public opinion. It was concluded that ordinary netizens had the right to speak about 13%, "opinion leaders" accounted for about 24%, and government affairs Weibo accounted for about 21. This study shows that professional media have a very important responsibility for public opinion guidance.

Especially in mainstream media such as Weibo, Party newspapers and national television, the so-called "Red Big V" should stand up and speak out on some major issues of right and wrong, be good at speaking out, safeguard the rule of law, safeguard national interests, promote social dialogue rather than confrontation, and release positive energy.

Political and legal reports should be more professional.

For CCTV's network reports, there are also some demands worthy of attention. For example, when the camera is aimed at sex workers, not everyone mosaics their faces, and there are some inappropriate tools and methods for sex trading. On 20 10, the Ministry of public security, in its campaign against pornography and illegal publications, asked everyone to pay attention to protecting the right to privacy and stop degrading acts such as street demonstrations.

There is also a problem with the reporting procedure: if we point the finger at the umbrella behind the chaos of the porn industry in Dongguan from the beginning, instead of exposing sex workers too much, there will be fewer sources of cross-examination on the Internet. Sex workers are at the end of the porn industry chain, and the top organization operators and the public umbrella behind them are even more vicious.

In the previous traffic accident case of Hebei University, although CCTV interviewed the victim and the family members of the perpetrator, Li Gang, the father of the perpetrator and the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, broadcast it first, and the interview with the family members of the victim was not broadcast for some reason, which made the audience mistakenly think that the TV station was endorsing the officials.

Compared with the seizure of "Heaven and Earth" by Beijing police,

On May 20 10/1day, Beijing police raided four nightclubs, including Tiandi, and ordered them to suspend business for rectification on the grounds of paid escort and fire safety. Later, in order to introduce the crime of prostitution, a deputy general manager of Tiandi was sued and sentenced to four years in prison. The same is to eliminate pornography and win unanimous applause from public opinion.

At that time, in CCTV's news 1+ 1 program, Bai made such an interpretation: the high-profile seizure of heaven and earth by Beijing police "is a challenge to privilege", which defended equality before the law, changed the public's helplessness and indifference to this ugly phenomenon before, and finally corrected "some very terrible situations in default".

Although "paradise on earth" is engaged in paid escort service, and most of them are highly educated women, which attracts more attention than their counterparts in Dongguan hotels, the media did not disclose its details at that time. Public opinion is directed at the operators of these ambiguous entertainment places. For example, after the trademark "Heaven and Earth" changed hands four times, who was the boss behind the scenes? Behind it is the umbrella of evil forces, such as hiring a bunch of thugs with knives and sticks. News reports on the goal and privilege of Beijing's action to seal up "Heaven and Earth" have been widely recognized by the society.

Political and legal reports are of great value in taking a clear-cut stand, cracking down on social ugliness and promoting social integrity. However, in terms of reporting methods and language narration, we should strengthen legal awareness, abide by journalistic professional ethics and avoid giving orders.

Public order and good customs are the high-voltage lines of public opinion field.

Anti-vice in Dongguan leads to an old topic, that is, the crime and non-crime of pornography. As an academic discussion, we can continue to discuss it. However, in news reports and public opinion platforms such as Weibo, in the virtual public space of social public opinion field, public order and good customs should be regarded as untouchable high-voltage lines.

"I'm from Mars", a netizen in Katie's community, believes that even if we look around the world, the porn industry has not been recognized by most countries. A large number of facts have proved that "pornography and gambling drugs", like "gambling drugs", is a cancer that corrupts social atmosphere, destroys social order, affects stability and unity, and corrodes people's hearts. The existence of the porn industry in Dongguan has a profound social background and also shows the complexity of the society in the transitional period. However, no matter how diverse the demands are, the core values of society and the criteria for judging right and wrong should always be clear, and personal emotions or inherent prejudices should not lead to the distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness.
