What does it mean to start the "news era" of the press?

It means that a new era of development has begun for the news industry.

With the evolution of politics, economy and culture, especially the continuous evolution of the "technological bush" centered on the Internet, Chinese journalism, like the whole human journalism, is opening a new era - the "post-journalism era". "The actual structure of news asset ownership, the structure of news industry attributes, the structure of news industry operation logic, the structure of news media, the structure of news activity subjects, the structure of news communication content and the structure of news communication function, etc. of Chinese journalism have changed dramatically over the past three decades [1]. In the past thirty years, there have been great changes in the structure of news industry [1][2], and the soul of all these structural changes is the change of the concept of news. In this paper, I would like to talk about my preliminary views on the "journalism" (or dominant news concept or dominant news ideology) and its possible trends after the opening of the "post-journalism era", and I would like to ask for the criticisms and corrections from my fellow experts.

I. The opening of the "Post-Journalism Era" in the vision of human journalism

If we take the journalism born in the West in modern times as the basic reference, the historical evolution of human journalism up to the present time can be divided into three epochs on a large scale: the Pre-Journalism Era, which includes the entire history of human journalism before the birth of modern journalism1, the Pre-News Era, the Pre-Journalism Era, and the Pre-News Era. The pre-journalism era, which includes the entire history of human news activities before the birth of modern journalism1; in this long era, the dominant mode of human news communication is the interpersonal, small-scale, face-to-face mode. （The era of (traditional) journalism mainly refers to the era of human news activities with traditional newspapers, traditional radio and television as the core media; the dominant mode of news exchange in this era is the point-to-point, face-to-face mode of mass communication; the era of post-journalism mainly refers to the new era since the opening of the Internet news, especially since the Internet news has entered into the era of Web.2.0; the dominant mode of news exchange in this era is the point-to-point, point-to-face mode; the dominant mode of news exchange in this era is the point-to-point, point-to-face mode of news exchange. communication mode is a point-to-point, point-to-face, and surface-to-surface fusion mode of multiple activities.

The actual historical process of human news activities is not as linear and simple as the theoretically simplified one, there are complicated contents and specific unfolding processes within each era, and there are inseparable links and connections between different eras, as well as abandonment and inheritance; and news activities in different regions and societies in the space of human beings are even more specific to their respective localities, and have their own localized historical experiences. localized historical experience facts. Therefore, such a division and description of the era is extremely rough. The author's purpose here is not to specifically study the history of human journalistic activities, but to provide a grand historical background for analyzing the dominant concept of journalism or journalism in contemporary Chinese journalism, so as to avoid the phenomenon of historical suspension of analysis.

Despite China's long, deep, and rich history of ancient journalistic activities, the new style of journalistic knowledge, journalistic concepts, journalistic discourse, and journalistic production and dissemination methods in the modern sense and with the attributes of mass popularization are imported from the West. The entry of Western journalistic concepts, journalistic knowledge, journalistic discourse, journalistic production and dissemination was accompanied by the overall modernization process of ancient China. If we erase for the time being the ups and downs of history and focus on the current reality of journalism, we can at least see that Chinese journalism, despite its own distinctive features, has opened the door to the "post-journalism era" just like the mainstream evolution of human journalism. That is to say, contemporary Chinese journalism is the journalism in the opening of the "post-journalism era", and we must and should observe, analyze, and consider all aspects of Chinese journalism, right and wrong, and consider and imagine the future possibilities of Chinese journalism from such a basic fact.

The "post-journalism era" has just begun, inherited from the traditional journalism era in "path dependence", and is still far from showing its complete independence. However, the new era has already revealed individual characteristics different from those of the traditional era, and has already broken through the media structure and methods of the traditional journalism era. Therefore, we have sufficient grounds and reasons not only to define it as the opening of a new era, but also to describe the basic connotations included in the "Post-Journalism Era", which can also be said as the following Some of the individual characteristics of the era have already emerged.

First, the "post" of the "post-journalism era" refers to the rise of the Internet era, especially the development of the Internet into the Web.2.0 era, since then, Internet journalism has really opened up a new era of popular or citizen journalism. Since then, Internet news has really opened a new era of people's news or citizen's news, and journalism has really taken on the meaning of "post-journalism era". Some experts describe the development of the Internet in China as four stages: the initial stage (1994-1998); the Web.1.0 stage (1999-2004), represented by portals and news websites; Web.2.0 (2005-2009), represented by blogs and podcasts; and Web.3.0 (2010-present), represented by microblogs, weibo and mobile clients. Client as a representative; and further pointed out that the Internet 1.0 stage established the status of online media, the 2.0 stage created the situation of self-media, and the 3.0 stage created the situation of social media and media socialization [3]. It is not difficult to find that every substantial progress and enhancement of the Internet opens the way to a new industry for the media industry.

Secondly, the "after" of the "post-journalism era" is substantially manifested in the media structure that the Internet-centered media structure is taking shape [3]. After more than 20 years of development, the Internet is becoming the center of the media system structure, Internet news is becoming an important channel and platform for people to receive news and consume news, the traditional press, radio and television "three-legged tripod" media structure has been broken, all-media platforms, fusion media platforms have become the norm of media structure. Form. It can be expected that the "interconnection" between the content network, interpersonal network and the Internet of things [4] will further construct a new inter-personal, interpersonal, interpersonal, interpersonal, the real "World Wide Web" or "all network ", news and information will be so intertwined network of uninterrupted flow of information.

Third, the "post-journalism era" of "after", in the structure of the news dissemination subject, completely breaking the traditional journalism era, the main body of the professional news dissemination of a single reproduction, the construction of the social news picture of the situation, brought about the public ****ization of the news The main body of communication "ternary type structure" revolutionary changes, it can be said that a "biased" *** with the main body of the era has been opened, which can also be seen as the "post-journalism era". This can also be regarded as the most typical sign of the initial arrival of the "post-journalism era". It is because of the basic formation of the news dissemination subject "ternary type structure", a "ternary" subject "**** enjoy" news resources, "**** production" news text, "****" news, "**** production" news, "**** production" news, "**** production" news, "**** production" news, "**** production" news. production" of news texts and "*** drawing" of news images has emerged
