The principle of news is

The principle of news is objectivity. Journalism objectivity is one of the most important concepts of journalism. Western countries regard the principle of objectivity as one of the important creeds followed by news media, which is not only the professional norm of news work, but also a major professional concept of news. In China, the principle of objectivity is also regarded as one of the basic features of news reports, which has its universality and theoretical roots and is closely related to the realistic environment in China. Marx summarized the objective report as "describing the facts according to the facts", while Engels thought it was "a judgment based entirely on the facts, only citing the facts, and directly based on the facts-the conclusion further drawn from such judgment is still an obvious fact". As one of the most important concepts in journalism, it is also a news concept. The objectivity of news refers to the basic feature that news facts are not transferred by people's subjective will. News communicators should respect the facts and truthfully reflect their true colors when they are engaged in news reporting. The goal of news is "to make it easier for rational readers to discover the truth".

Of course, the objectivity of news communication not only refers to the conformity between the subject and the objective facts, but also means the rational interaction of the subject of news communication, that is, it goes beyond the unilateral conformity of facts and the unilateral limitation of individual rational ability to achieve "comprehensive rationality". Bernard Voyenne, a French journalist, holds a similar view in contemporary journalism. He said: "Indeed, it is difficult and contradictory to be objective, because fundamentally speaking, what people want to report is the product of ideas, and there will inevitably be the intervention of the reporter's intelligence, which will inevitably include personal factors. The press conference will inevitably put itself in the scene he described, not only his own participation, but also his tailoring of the continuity of facts and the form he adopted. "

It can be seen that the objectivity of news includes the rational process of dynamically presenting objective facts. In addition to accurate, fair and multifaceted reports, it also goes deep into the facts and tells the truth through rational explanation. From this, we can think that objectivity is the premise of truthfulness, comprehensiveness and accuracy of news reports, and only objectivity can approach the facts; Only by constantly approaching and revealing the facts can we get the truth; In this process, comprehensiveness and accuracy can exist, and the value and significance of news can be reflected.
