An analysis of the phenomenon of journalists' lack of professional ethics
【 Directory 】 Chinese abstract 1. The lack of journalistic professional ethics in the transitional period. Lack of laws and regulations on journalism. At present, China's press is carrying out "three study and education activities" on Theory of Three Represents Theory, Marxist journalistic outlook and professional ethics, in order to improve journalists' political quality and moral cultivation, and safeguard the reputation and social image of news media and journalists. Therefore, the professional ethics of journalism plays a vital role in maintaining the credibility of the media. Journalism bears a special social responsibility in the social division of labor. According to the news and various information services provided by the news media, people can adjust their speeches and actions in time to work, study and live more effectively, while social organizations and government agencies can make necessary social adjustment and public opinion guidance to promote social stability and comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. In China, journalism, as the mouthpiece of the Party, the government and the people, is responsible for spreading news information, guiding public opinion and serving the society and the public. This nature and characteristics determine the importance and sacredness of its work, and also determine its high standards and strict requirements for the quality of employees. A journalist must always take it as his sacred duty and lofty mission to meet the news and information needs of the society and the public and promote the stability and development of the country and society, and must have journalistic professionalism. In recent years, although China's press has made some achievements and progress in promoting professionalism and strengthening the construction of professional ethics, there are still many problems. At the Shanghai Auto Show on April 20th, 2003, the "red envelope" media controlled the auto show, and the overwhelming news in newspapers and TV was almost the same as the advertisements made by the car dealers themselves. Under the control of manufacturers, some news media completely lost their objective position. In September of the same year, 15, Xinhua News Agency released shocking news: 1 1 reporters (including four Xinhua News Agency reporters) took bribes in cash and gold ingots from local leaders and illegal mine owners in the process of reporting the mine disaster in Fan Shi, Shanxi, and staged a "paid but unknown" farce. The "Top Ten Fake News of the Year" selected by Reporter magazine for two consecutive years shows us an important aspect of the current professional ethics anomie from a more professional perspective. People in the industry or experts have given different views on the above-mentioned phenomenon of violating journalistic professional ethics when analyzing its internal reasons. Some scholars think that this is caused by the neglect of professional ethics education in journalism, while others think that it is the lack of supervision institutions [Abstract] On September 15, 2003, Xinhua News Agency released a shocking news: 1 1 A reporter (including four Xinhua News Agency reporters) accepted cash and gold ingots from local leaders and illegal mine owners when interviewing the Fan Shi mine disaster in Shanxi, and staged it. In recent years, the phenomenon of journalistic professional ethics anomie in China has emerged endlessly and intensified. For all kinds of phenomena that violate the professional ethics of journalism, people in the industry or experts give different views when analyzing their internal reasons. Some scholars think that this is caused by neglecting the education of journalism professional ethics, while others think that there is a lack of supervision institutions. But no matter how to analyze this reason, it is actually related to news ethics. Our society must respond to all kinds of phenomena that violate news ethics and must be completely solved through a series of measures. In recent years, the industry and the government have also carried out a series of rectification of moral misconduct and issued a series of regulations, but the effect is not obvious. Therefore, under the new situation, it is urgent to explore the reasons for the anomie of journalistic professional ethics. The bribery case of journalists in Fan Shi mine disaster is a typical case of professional ethics anomie in recent years. Taking the mine disaster in Fan Shi, Shaanxi Province as an example, this paper explores the reasons for the loss of professional ethics in journalism from three aspects: the lack of professional ethics in the transition period, the lack of professional ethics laws and regulations and the problems of journalists themselves. I hope this study has certain practical significance to the construction of journalism professional ethics in China. [2] Chen Lidan. Abstract: In recent years, with the rapid development of journalism in China, the ranks of journalists have been growing. However, the fierce competition in the media market has caused a great impact on the cause of news communication, and also put forward a severe test for journalists. Some journalists can't stand the temptation of society, and they frequently lose their professional quality and violate their professional ethics. The appearance of fake news is a prominent manifestation of journalists' lack of professional ethics and integrity. Fake news is like a street mouse shouting every year, but it is often seen in newspapers. This paper will analyze the causes of the formation of fake news and discuss the countermeasures to prevent it.
