【新唐人2011年9月24日訊】北京的《新京報》和《京華時報》，9月份開始劃歸中共北京市委宣傳部主管。兩份報紙為何要劃歸北京市委來管理？自由撰稿人西貝在《德國之聲》撰文透露，這項計劃的操作者是《新華社》前副社長、現任中共北京市委宣傳部的部長魯煒，目地是要終結兩報對北京的「監督」。
西貝在文中寫道，因為北京多起被當局認為的負面報導，都是出自《新京報》。魯煒在今年3月調任北京市委宣傳部長之後，最感頭疼的就是如何讓《新京報》聽話。他不想讓自己的轄區充斥負面新聞。
憲政學者陳永苗認為，如果把這兩個報紙下放到北京市，那麼它就變成北京的都市報，對北京本地的新聞監督力量，就減弱或者是喪失了。
陳永苗：「（象中宣部它整治这个「京城两报」）它實際上是想把這個市場經濟和改革開放中產生的自由力量，跟’維穩’體制的這樣一個衝突，它想把它壓下去，然後它想把這兩種力量，一個媒體市場、一個就是記者、一個就是律師，它想把他壓下去。」
去年（2010年）7月，中宣部發出新禁令：「禁止異地負面報導，禁止報導公檢法等部門的負面新聞，禁止採用『報社通聯』稿件，突發事件需用《新華社》稿件。」
西貝透露，總部在北京的《新京報》和《京華時報》，對北京市的新聞報導，不在異地監督的範圍之列，因為這兩份報紙是中央級媒體，北京市委無權管理。這種在北京卻不歸北京管的現象，一直讓北京地方當局大為撓頭。
中國傳媒界普遍認為《新京報》是中國最有公信力的報紙之一。它在各項重大事件的報導中，以敢言著稱，因此，《新京報》從誕生之初就歷經風波。但是，西貝表示：「北京市委宣傳部忌憚於該報的中央身份，一直未有更為強硬有效的策略。」
《新京報》和《京華時報》的版權頁9月3號明確標示，主管方由原來的「中國新聞出版總署」變更為「北京市委宣傳部」。西貝認為，這次變更也就是兩中央級媒體劃歸地方級。
陳永苗：「說來說去，就是說你可以看到，中國的這個傳媒實際上，它是很難再能夠領導中國的改革開放，或者是能夠再對中國的進步和進化起支撐作用。它會被慢慢的壓死掉。因為它這個報紙，它都是在這個黨的領導之下的，從它的左手移到它的右手，就是位置不一樣一點。」
「中國打黑記者第一人」王克勤表示，報紙上太乾淨，社會將會很骯髒！中宣部如此肆無忌憚的打壓媒體，結果只能是讓越來越多的人看清中共的野蠻，加速中共獨裁政權的解體。
《新紀元週刊》評論，兩京報遭貶是必然。中共對媒體「真實、公正、客觀」的報導呈現著愈來愈緊的鎖喉趨勢，整個媒體都在萎縮。

Inside Story: How CCP Suppresses Two Major Newspapers
“Beijing News" and “Jinghua Times" were put under the control of
The Beijing Propaganda Bureau from September.
Why were they placed under Beijing Municipal Committee?
Deutsche Welle reporter Sibelius wrote an article stating that
Lu Wei, the general manager of Beijing Municipal Party Committee
Propaganda Bureau and the ex-VP of Xinhua News Agency,
is orchestrating this behind the scenes.
The purpose is to end “oversights” within the two Beijing papers.
Sibelius writes that several so-called negative news reports were
from the “Beijing News.”
After Lu Wei became the Beijing propaganda head in March 2011,
the biggest headache was how to make “Beijing News” servile.
He does not want to see negative news go rampant in his tenure.
The constitutional scholar Chen Yongmiao believes that
if these two papers are put under Beijing City』s control,
they would become local papers and therefore weakened or
lost their monitoring power.
Chen Yongmiao: “It (CCP) is actually trying to suppress
the conflict between ‘maintenance of stability’ and
the force of freedom that has been generated from
the reform and market economy.
It (CCP) wants to repress the two forces, one is the media,
including journalists, and the other is the lawyers.
It wants to suppress them."
Last July, the central Propaganda Department issued a new ban:
No off-site negative reports, no negative news about public security
or other legal departments, no adopting 『press release』 by media,
and must use the uniform Xinhua reports for any critical incidents.”
Sibelius said, headquartered in Beijing, “Beijing News" and
“Jinghua Times" were not limited by the foregoing ban,
because they were two central-level media and Beijing Municipal
government didn』t have jurisdiction on them.
The phenomenon that a newspaper is located in Beijing but
does not belong to Beijing bothers Beijing local authorities.
The Chinese press circle sees “Beijing News" as one of the most
credible newspapers in China.
It is famous for its outspoken reports on many major events.
“Beijing News" has sparked controversy since the very beginning.
Sibelius said, “Beijing Municipal Propaganda Bureau feared for
its 『central-level』 status, thus no tougher strategies were taken before."
The copyright pages of “Beijing News" and “Jinghua Times"
on Sep. 3 indicated that their management changed from
China General Administration of Press and Publication to
Beijing Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Bureau.
Sibelius said, the change is meant to put the two central medias
under local control.
Chen Yongmiao: “Anyway, you can see that Chinese media
actually have a very hard time leading China’s reform or
playing a supportive role in China』s development anymore.
They will be pressed to death gradually,
because the newspapers are controlled by the CCP.
They just moved the media from the left hand to the right hand.
The position is not the same.”
China’s pioneer journalist for anti-gangster Wang Keqin said
that once the newspaper is too clean, society will be very dirty.
The Propaganda Bureau presses the media in such an
arrogant manner which can only make more and more people
see the brutality of the CCP, and accelerate it』s disintegration.
New Epoch Weekly comments that depreciation of the two
Beijing newspapers is inevitable.
The CCP is showing a growing trend of undermining media』s
“true, fair and objective" reports. Chinese media is in decline.
