Revival of the 550 front-line vigor Columbia University School of Journalism Professor Richard John (.) As an industry authority, he also published a special article in the "New Yorker (the.new. for the first time.
"The New Yorker" is the most important industry magazine in Jincheng. It is a part of New York life and reflects the most eye-catching focus of New York life. It is a special feature that reflects the in-depth reports on major events in the United States and international politics and society. 'one. The authoritative **** of this magazine is second to none in New York and the entire East Coast.
"Bringing the witch trials into the study of journalism and communication will be a very large system, but bringing the witch trials into daily life and simplistically elaborating, then it can be understood as possessing The minority groups of power, in order to protect their own interests, frame innocent people as witches, eradicate these elements, and consolidate their power.
In 1782, the last witch in Europe, Anna Goldi, was beheaded in Switzerland. After that, laws of various countries explicitly prohibited the abuse of justice to persecute witches. This also announced that the trial of the ‘women’ that lasted for three centuries had come to an end. But in fact, two centuries later, the witch trials still exist in every corner of life.
To give the simplest and most life-oriented example, in high school, because of aversion to a certain child who is obese, autistic, or homosexual, rumors began to spread, accusing each other from the very beginning It began to be incompatible with high school life, and gradually evolved into an evil label with a symbolic "sex" meaning. For example, disasters will occur where this child appears. For example, if the child is touched, there will be bad luck, such as prohibiting this Children participate in rugby...The school violence derived from these rumors, including rejection, isolated language and emotional violence, as well as physical violence in school public toilets and garbage dumps, became more and more intense, and eventually became out of control. This is the ‘Witch’ trial. Similar to a minority power group composed of popular high school objects such as cheerleaders, basketball teams,'baseball' teams, rugby teams, etc., in order to maintain their popular rights and interests, they use the immature production of high school students by repelling and controlling disadvantaged groups.' The image of the'Witch', the final completion of the trial of the'Witch'.
At present, violence on campus in American high schools has been repeatedly banned, which is the truest portrayal of the witch trials.
The most obvious manifestation of the witch trials in modern society is actually the relationship between the news media and artists. The Michael Jackson incident is a typical case of the witch trials, regardless of whether Michael Jackson is guilty or not. The agency investigation does not say that the role played by the news media in the entire development process of the incident is to make Jackson the behind-the-scenes witch. This can be understood as the news media, in order to pursue benefits, report on news from a more commercial perspective, or even interpret and fabricate them, thereby shaping public figures according to their own wishes and seeking greater commercial benefits.
Why are the witch trials more obvious and frequent between the news media and entertainers? This must discuss the relationship between supply and demand.
Entertainment media is different from other media. Among them, there is more entertainment that belongs to "sex". Compared with the pure pursuit of the truth, the lack of entertainment "sex" is never tolerated. This is also after the continuous development of news media. The inevitable trend of continuous progress of the entire society. Seeing that means that after the material needs are met, the demand for the spirit will continue to rise, and the entertainment industry is the most direct source of the demand for the spirit.
Ordinary people’s pursuit of entertainment'sex' for public figures is not only a pastime for the needs of the spirit, but also a need arising from the combination of desire for knowledge, curiosity, and desire for voyeurism.
Compared with ordinary meals for two people, the scandal is obviously more eye-catching; compared to charity events, alcohol and fights are more likely to cause discussion; compared to the glamour in front of the stage, the things behind the scenes are always more attractive. Take Michael Jackson as an example. If he is said to have suffered from spontaneous pneumonia, which leads to constant skin changes, this will make his black skin constantly change. Obviously no one will care; but if he hates his black identity and tries to drift away From myself, this obviously has a hot spot worth digging.
Similarly, in the Rodney King incident, black criminals resisted arrest and were police. Observation and justice, this kind of news can be seen almost every day, no one will pay attention to it; but self-policing. Cha has beaten ordinary black people for no reason, and is suspected of racial discrimination by using his authority. This is a social explosion.
When the needs of ordinary people have changed, the supply of news media has naturally changed. Not only entertainment media, but the Rodney King incident can show that social media and political media are also changing in this direction, but Entertainment media itself is in this industry, and the changes are even more obvious.
Under such circumstances, in order to win more benefits, the entertainment media creates "witches" according to their own ideas. It has become an act of taking advantage of the trend. In today's entertainment industry, almost every artist is a potential As long as the opportunity arises, the media will entertain and interpret the news according to their wishes, and then create a witch.
It's just that when this ‘witch’ does not touch the moral and legal bottom line, he will not be tried, but sooner or later, this bottom line will be broken.
This is the inevitable development of news media, but how to weigh the balance between truth and entertainment is a profound knowledge. It is like the boundary between morality and law, which is blurred, but it must be clear.
A law enforcement officer falsifies evidence in order to catch a criminal. Perhaps the criminal is a real criminal, but it is indeed illegal to forge evidence. This is not feasible. Not only can it not bring the criminal to justice, but it may also allow the criminal to look for it. To the leaking'hole'. This is the boundary, this is the bottom line.
In order to pursue entertainment effects, deliberately fabricating facts and falsifying evidence, regardless of whether it crosses the moral or legal boundaries, this is not allowed. If today is just a fabricated scandal, then maybe the public will laugh it off; but Michael Jackson is not. This involves a person's reputation and the fate of a child, so this line is absolutely not allowed to be crossed.
Whether Jackson is guilty or not is the responsibility of the "door" of the Department of Justice. However, in order to pursue more entertainment effects, the news media made Jackson a "witch", which exceeded the limit.
In the Rodney King incident, the media always prided themselves on justice, so they carried out a large-scale report before the truth was confirmed, and even before the court made a judgment, the news media had already conducted a trial. When the truth is revealed, everything is irreversible; the Michael Jackson incident is now facing such a crisis.
Before the Department of Justice’s “door” collection of evidence, and before the “door” decision of the Department of Justice, the news media continued to push “waves” to fuel the flames. In order to create more hot spots and focus, they did not hesitate to accumulate all negative news to Jackson. In the body, this is the most typical trial of a witch, because the media is shaping the image of the witch according to their own ideas, so as to achieve the purpose of trying the witch.
If this trend continues, even if the judicial authorities find that Jackson is innocent, the public will not believe it, then the riots caused by the Rodney King incident are likely to happen again; the same, if in the end If Jackson is proved guilty, then the people's aversion to Jackson will reach the extreme, which will further compress Jackson's living space. The court's judgment on Jackson will never meet the needs of the people.
Similarly, Chandler, as the subject, is also under great pressure under the attention of the news media. If what Chandler has experienced is true, then the public will sympathize with this 13-year-old child and be molested at the same time. The pressure of the child has also become the biggest label on the child’s growth journey; if what Chandler said is proved to be false, then this thirteen-year-old child will not only face a lie, but also the burden of his life.
The news media used their right to'freedom of speech' to fabricate the image of a'witch', turning the power of public opinion into a weapon, hurting the parties, and at the same time achieving their own commercial interests. The results were obtained in the Ministry of Justice'gate' Previously, the trial of the case was not only an illegal act that exceeded the scope of one's own rights, but also an obstruction of judicial investigation that undermined the fairness and legality of the investigation and evidence collection procedures.
The First Amendment grants the news media freedom of speech and allows them to perform their duties of supervising the society by public opinion. This is necessary; but the media use public opinion to conduct trials, which is a disaster for the entire society.
I hope that the news media can calm down and seek the truth of the matter. There is a conclusion about guilt or innocence. "
Richard John’s analysis is very easy to understand. He objectively analyzed the ins and outs of the entire "Witch Trial", and he also believes that the reason why the Michael Jackson incident has evolved to this point is that both the news media and the audience chasing gossip There is an unshirkable responsibility, this is the root of the problem.
Why are the media willing to introspect? Not because of their conscience, nor because of Hugo's words, but because of the notorious Rodney King incident.
The earthquake effect caused by Rodney King’s incident has made the US news media a joke in the international arena. Even the president was deceived by the news media and strongly condemned the police officers involved in the case. The pinnacle of "fabricated news." The United States, which has always prided itself on human rights and freedom of speech, resulted in such a big joke, and it also caused an extreme outbreak of racial issues again. I don’t want to see another "Rodney King" in the US media. I don't want to become a laughing stock again.
The Michael Jackson incident is also an event of global attention. The sensation is not inferior to the incident when John Lennon was shot and killed by a fanatic extreme fan. The original case is currently lacking in evidence. Media reports basically say that the wind is rain, so Now that Hugo stings like this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even the "Witch Trial" has been moved out. How could the media hit the gun at this juncture again? Even if it is acting, it must Take the shelf of the "Uncrowned King" of the news media.
Therefore, eight of the ten most-circulated newspapers in the United States are thinking calmly, instead of uniting and starting to condemn Hugo. This is clearly not the best time to use the banner of "freedom of speech". In fact, take a closer look at the media reports. Most of them are analyzing Hugo’s words, not in support or condemnation. They just maintain an objective standpoint and analyze the accusations about the "witch trial".
This is the cunningness of the news media. If it proves that Michael Jackson is innocent, then they can accuse the media such as the New York Post and the National Inquirer; if it proves that what Jordan Chandler said is true, then It won't be too late for them to accuse Hugo of being confused. In short, this analysis ‘wave’ and ‘wave’ is actually an event that wins more buffers for the news media and pursues the truth.
But it was this little breathing space that gave Michael Jackson a glimmer of life. . )
