During the epidemic, my days of working from home

The Spring Festival holiday is over and many people are returning to work. In extraordinary times, epidemic prevention and control requires minimizing the movement of people;

On the other hand, many units need to carry out work. We are unable to go to the newspaper office, but the newspaper editing and editing industry is operating normally, taking into account the needs of both sides. Our superiors require us to work from home.

In addition to the special features department who went out to cover news, other "mobile" deputy section level or above and key editorial staff, the newspaper gave an order, all came to the unit to work in centralized accommodation. In extraordinary times, we are even more responsible. Everyone is on duty and in good condition, and the entire editing system is operating in an orderly manner. As the saying goes, "If you have food in your hands, you won't panic in your heart." I saw reporters constantly sending fresh reports back one after another. I was not in the dormitory of the newspaper office. I returned to my hometown during the Spring Festival. Even though I was working remotely from my hometown, I still felt the same. Determined, busy and orderly. I quickly opened my laptop and started the Tencent conference system.

At six o'clock in the morning, Didi Didi, drafting, editing, editing, editing, phone ringing from time to time, WeChat avatar flashing... The office meeting notification on the mobile phone started Zhang Zibao's day at home.

Since I was asked to work from home, my day has become busier and more fulfilling. I go online at 9 a.m. every Friday to attend the scheduled press conference, listen back to the recording repeatedly, digest the spirit of the meeting, write articles, and submit them for review. Complete manuscript in less than an hour. At the moment when the last government draft was approved and passed into the editing database, the relaxation in the cerebral cortex far outweighed the fatigue in the body. At three o'clock in the afternoon, I was dealing with daily work or editing press releases from emails sent by my colleagues. If I have free time, my greatest pleasures are reading, practicing calligraphy, and playing badminton with my son in the courtyard!

During this period of time, although I am staying at home, I have been working from home. However, it cannot be compared with the hard work of front-line interview colleagues in the feature department. During this period, they have worked tirelessly and worked day and night to efficiently collect and write high-quality news works on the front line of epidemic prevention and control. These days, they have fully demonstrated the responsibility of media people on the battlefield of fighting the epidemic. In many crisis moments, there are always media people among the retrograde crowd. It has always been the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of media people to record real and frozen moments and deliver inspiring power to more people.

In the past few days, when browsing news works related to the epidemic, I often pay attention to readers’ comment areas. Here, you can see not only readers’ reactions to the content, but also some comments on the works. When I see their heartfelt praise, I always feel gratified and feel that everyone's efforts have been affirmed;

...

September 22, 2020 , I received a notice from my superiors that I could report back to work, and I could finally go out and breathe the outside air.

Previously, I took a nucleic acid test at Zhengyang People’s Hospital and returned to Beijing on September 20. I was sitting on the animation train to grab tickets, but I didn’t feel that there were very few people on the train. There are two or three rows of seats for one person. Not only did everyone wear masks, they were also at least two or three meters apart, and their temperatures were taken several times on the way back and forth.

......

But in the end, in view of the epidemic situation, in November 2021, the newspaper leaders decided that cadres above the deputy director of the office should still work remotely. Only the news department and special staff of the newspaper The editorial department needs to go to the newspaper office to work and go out for interviews. The AB class office mechanism is activated. 50% of the staff are kept on duty every day, rotated every other day, work alternately at staggered peaks, and AB class personnel are prohibited from changing or replacing without permission. In March this year, I returned to my hometown to sweep graves and have not returned to work at the newspaper office. I work from home.

May day, spring is beautiful. Mayday, race against the virus. Gold refined by fire, sharpened by stone.

During the most urgent and critical stage of epidemic prevention and control, under the correct leadership of the newspaper’s leaders, all the newspaper’s editors, reporters, deputy section level and above and key editorial staff did not impose conditions, obeyed the arrangements, did not avoid or retreat, With fearless fighting courage, he composed a soul-stirring heroic song.

In addition, I also discovered many shortcomings in myself. By comparing and studying the reports of other outstanding practitioners, I realized that I should also work hard to improve my planning capabilities and news sensitivity. You should read more, practice more, look for your own shortcomings regularly and improve them.

Working from home this time is a memorable experience. In my future work, I will sum up this experience, overcome all difficulties, and become an excellent journalist.
