Improper handling of their own affairs, contrary to journalistic profession

In fact, in addition to this materialization of women's controversy, 2012, Zhongtian subordinate Venvant Group, for the acquisition of cable television system Kerry, sparked a series of "anti-media monopoly" campaign. At that time, Zhongtian Group was doing its best to discredit, Huang, a deputy researcher at the Institute of Research and Development, who has been standing on the forefront of the campaign, said that, in addition to his money to students and the mobilization of "walking workers" to participate in the protests, even Huang smoking and cigarette butts were magnified into the worst of things, apparently in the production of news " Involved in their own affairs ", the lack of media self-discipline style."

Does the NCC not rule if the evaluation result is not qualified?

In addition, in April 2013, NCC commissioned an external satellite channel evaluation Advisory Committee, has evaluated the transit news Taiwan in December 99 to 101 December performance unqualified, and requested the transit news station within two months to propose a deadline correction plan, June, because the rectification plan still does not meet the requirements, the Committee will NCC makes recommendations for evaluation of Nonconformities.

At that time, NCC had to consider the Committee's resolution immediately and make a final resolution on the failure of the transit news station, but NCC was slow to make a ruling and only to incorporate the result into the exchange for reference. If NCC decides at that time that the transit news station is not qualified, according to the 36th of the Satellite Radio and Television Act, it is punishable by 100,000 yuan or more, under the penalty of fines 1 million yuan, or even if the licence is revoked under article 6th. Therefore, the NCC chose not to adjudicate the case, also sparked controversy. (news anchor's romantic escape: leave Taiwan for 100 days, in order to meet the "advanced version" of their own )

Under the current decree, NCC has a television licence every six years and is evaluated every two years during the validity period. And the transit news station in the acceptance of external members of the Review Committee, the composition of the review, of the 11 members, six (half of them) failed to pass the grade, but since the two parties were not two-thirds (eight), they were unable to make a resolution in the first instance, and the whole case was submitted to NCC after the NCC resolution to give the photo.

Although NCC requires the transit news station to implement four corrections within six months, including handling staff training, ethics committee outside members to include experts and scholars and civic groups, the employment of a full-time dedicated editorial staff, and the implementation of the "independent review of the" system, but has been Huang in Mong Group, in the face of the book to express dissatisfaction: "NCC may say their permission, is based on the Zhongtian" improvement commitment "," self-discipline mechanism "," internal control "above; however, NCC seems to have forgotten that a similar self-regulatory commitment has been made by NCC as early as 2009 when it allowed Cai Mingming to acquire two. If the promise of Cai Mingming is of the slightest credibility, in the past few years, no one has seen so many news reports of the mass transit news and planted smear.

As for the NCC, which has been indulgent to the group, the Internet has also been a curse, even some people say that NCC has "no expectations". For many people, Zhongtian news is a recognized "parallel universe", and the general people of different time and space, the theme of political program discussion, always and the most concerned about the Bishi relationship, the news material is often confusing. Wang-Wang in the group's China Times, also often because of the front page selection in the four newspapers appear "outstanding", this obviously pour in, to the consortium closer to the media, has lost credibility. After this incident, the status of NCC seems to be in the audience's mind crumbling. (Extended recommendation: Seven pieces of fantasy photography, bringing you to the parallel universe )

Although the mainstream media to commercialization has been an indisputable fact, but a news station, if it has fallen to even present the truth of the ability to have no, or closed the door, back to do Fairy Bay! After all, the news, has never been self-directed, since the words of the industry.

What do you expect from the media today, when you are about to enter 2015?

The news media, which was originally tasked with the task of getting the latest news on the front lines of the public, has become a career in which the public is poorly perceived. Just, we still believe that there are a lot of very serious, hardworking and mission-motivated journalists online, who are in the fourth right to oversee the government and provide important information about the audience,"The ruins of a flower, The troubled times to protect an acre of farmland "is a senior media person who has the honor of the media expectations, in this chaotic era, I hope that someone is always so hard."

Finally, although the current mainstream media often do not meet our expectations, but in the social network developed today, believe that all of us can be the power of change. In addition to working hard to monitor, we can use pens and keyboards in hand to write your opinions, your criticisms, and even the media content you are looking for. When the news media hundred Schools of opinion, do a proactive reading to listen to people, and firmly want the position of good news, then our small move, we will be able to make Taiwan media ecology better!
