A: (1) Generally speaking, the rights of the audience include the following aspects: First, the right to know, also known as the right to know, means that citizens have the right to obtain information about the social public sphere and information related to themselves. In the field of news communication, it refers to the right of the audience to obtain the above information through the media, especially the information on public life; Second, the right of expression, also known as freedom of expression, refers to the freedom of citizens to express their opinions through oral, written and concrete actions, including freedom of speech, freedom of works, freedom of publication, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, freedom of procession and demonstration, etc. In the field of news communication, it mainly refers to the freedom of expression of news media and the right and freedom of audience to express their opinions through news media. For the audience, it is further refined into the audience's right to express in the media; The third is the right of criticism, suggestion and supervision, which should be divided into two parts: first, the right of the audience to exercise criticism, suggestion and supervision over departments and activities in the political, economic, cultural and other public fields with the help of the news media, that is, the right of public opinion supervision exercised by the audience with the help of the media; Second, it is the right of the audience to criticize, suggest and supervise the activities of the news media. Of course, the audience's rights are far more than the above three aspects, such as the audience's right to choose and the right to guarantee communication services, but the right to know, the right to express and the right to supervise are the core of the audience's rights.
(2) To deeply understand the rights of the audience, we should not only consider the actual needs of the audience, but also consider the rights that the audience should enjoy as citizens in the field of information dissemination. We should fully respect these rights of the audience and provide strong support for the audience to exercise these rights, instead of infringing on the rights of the audience and setting obstacles.
