“We media” is quite busy recently. Some time ago, there was a “second more” event. This does not mean that “bad comments” are in trouble again.

In recent days, the “bad comments” have made a lot of noise, around a central point is “draft washing”.

What is draft washing? Wikipedia defines a draft wash as follows:

The word “manuscript washing” is popular in the news media industry, which is a new word derived from “money laundering”. It refers to that news media (especially news websites) use a series of means to “black” and “white” manuscripts to cover up their true sources, strive for the time lag of examination or avoid copyright.

There are two kinds of laundering in mainland China, namely, laundering to evade press release policies and laundering to illegally reprint.

There must be something wrong with the washing itself. But how many copies did bad review wash, and whether they were always washing. I don’t know, because I don’t have the data.

My writing has always insisted on the original, but the original is really not an easy thing. It is not easy to write original articles, whether technical articles or some academic articles. What I mean by good here is that the article should have depth, meaning, and something to share with others, not a running list. A lot of times, finishing an article feels like a physical hollowout.

Before his public number also had an article, was a media large to see, hope to reprint. Encountered this kind of thing for the first time, oneself also did not consider too much, agreed to reprint. After I saw my article on the media tuba, I did not agree to reprint my article any more. Because the final reprint of the article is not reprinted, but tampered with a lot of information, but also deliberately weakened the author.

At present, whether it is bad comments or other criticism of we media, have their own views. Standing at a certain point of each, I think there is no problem, even a heinous murderer, also can find the bright spot. From what we see at present, everyone seems to be talking, without substantial data, is to amplify their own advantages or others’ shortcomings. The actual situation is that bad comments focus on their own advantages, and other we media focus on their shortcomings.

You’ve all seen debates. There are pros and cons. On the basis of the underlying core principles, we gather data around their own debate, spread it out, you say a word I say, the best to persuade, not to persuade the relationship is not big. After all, these are small issues, so agree to disagree, no problem. What’s more, I think the most important thing about debate is that it is a process of collision of thinking mode and cognition, which makes people look at problems in a more objective way. As for the result, it is just like the weather, which may be sunny or rainy under different conditions.

But it’s no use just talking, more need to come up with objective data.

When the influence of a we-media is limited to a dozen or twenty people, I think you can make fun of a lot of opinions directly, and there is no problem. After all, there were only a few of them. Once the things or opinions of this “we media” affect tens of thousands of readers, it needs to be seriously considered whether they are objective and correct. Law in sentencing when there will be a number of judgment, such as the same crime of fraud, fraud 100 yuan and fraud 100W YUAN, obviously the latter is more serious.

With the increasing influence of “we media”, in addition to expressing their own opinions, they also need to shoulder some social responsibilities, such as spreading positive energy and promoting values (which are not exactly the same values). Not just the number of followers and the number of views. When hearing a harsh voice, it is more necessary to lower your posture and look for the reason from your own point of view, rather than holding a magnifying glass to dig out your own advantages and search for the other side’s shortcomings. I believe it’s normal to have different values, but you shouldn’t judge someone because of their different values, especially if they don’t affect you. This is a bit of a bully.

There is a saying in the movie Spider-Man: With great power comes great responsibility. Behind all interests there is responsibility. Some we-media, for the sake of interests, may forget their responsibilities; For profit, may forget the original purpose.

I saw a comment from a reader:

Don’t wait until it’s too bad to change.

Finally, sit back and wait for the truth.
