【新唐人2013年01月12日訊】歷經「新年獻詞」撤稿爭議的中國《南方週末》，10號照常出刊。不過新一期《南周》並未跟進報導「新年獻詞」事件，也沒有刊發社論。同時，廣東省委宣傳部長庹震當天照常露面。有消息指說，《南周》已經妥協。
香港《明報》報導，《南周》原總編輯黃燦沒有參與新一期編輯，改由分管《南周》的集團社委王更輝簽版。F32評論版裏摘要轉載《人民日報》的署名評論–「要跟得上時代的節拍」，文後附加的「推薦理由」寫道：「黨管媒體是原則，黨管媒體的方式要與時俱進」。
引人關注的是，最新一期的《南周》沒有社論，有消息指出，社論遭到審查而被禁刊出。《紐約時報》引述一名資深編輯的話說，報社領導和員工9號晚曾發生爭執，員工認為應該刊登捍衛報紙立場的社論，以及支持《南周》的讀者來信，但領導覺得刊登不利於平息風波，不允許刊出。
「深圳當代社會觀察研究所」所長劉開明：「主管部門不允許，這也是一貫的。如果最後登了，就等於宣傳部門完全屈服。他們更多考慮的不僅是這個事件的處理方法，而是以後怎麼管理傳媒的問題。宣傳部是有能力『政治掛斃』這個報紙的，所以這種情況下，有關的編輯記者必須妥協。」
有消息說，宣傳部門和《南周》達成了秘密協議。
報導說，有員工對《南周》的妥協表示不滿，認為他們抗爭經驗不足、壓力太大。而高級編輯鄢烈山說，記者不想把黨的高層領導人逼入絕路。
劉開明：「這個他們過慮了。不存在有甚麼絕路的問題。所有的中國新聞媒體都是在黨的直接領導之下，所有的高級新聞採編人員都是黨的幹部。」
大公報《大週刊》主筆兼新聞部主任 朱健國：「把南方報的領導（被）逼到絕路還有可能。中央級領導那不可能。他們不在意。當年『六四』那麼大的動作，也沒把他們逼到絕路。」
台灣《自由時報》報導，一位匿名的《南周》編輯透露，目前編輯部內瀰漫憤怒情緒，儘管高層保證不會秋後算帳，但預料可能會有人請辭或被迫去職。同時，外界也有聲音質疑，如果有機會改變中共的審查制度，《南周》為甚麼不堅持下去呢？
大公報《大週刊》主筆兼新聞部主任朱健國表示，要突破中共審查制度必須是漸進的。只要類似事件不斷出現，就會加速新聞自由時代的到來。想一次就解決問題還比較困難。
朱健國：「它只能暗暗的做某些方面的堅持，全部的堅持是不可能的。因為大環境擺在這。畢竟人事權還是在當局這一方。目前這個情況也會大換班，也會走很多人，肯定的。所以想在這種環境下以一個報紙抗爭取得勝利是不可能的，但是它雖敗猶榮。對當局也是一個很大的警示，警示它們不可太張狂。」
另外，《明報》引述現場的消息指出，10號下午，《南周》總部外共有4位抗議者被警方帶走。
直到目前，眾多中共媒體對《南周》事件只字未提。前《南周》主編長平週四在推特中表示，「如果南周已和宣傳部門達成協議，那就需要給公眾一個交代。不能沒談妥就呼籲真相和透明，談妥了就一起進入暗箱」。
朱健國：「有限的公開可能會，網上可能會出來些有限的（公開），但全部公開是不可能的。」
而劉開明認為，真正的內幕已經公開了，而且所有人都知道，那就是宣傳部門直接干預了《南周》獨立辦報的方針，和編輯記者的採編行為。
劉開明：「這一次宣傳部門不僅打破了明規則，同時也破壞了媒體和宣傳部門的默契。默契就是『我接受你的領導，但你不能直接去幹預我』。這次很多人用『強姦』來形容宣傳部門的行為，我覺得是合適的。」
據《廣東衛視》報導，《南周》風波的主角、被要求下臺呼聲高漲的庹震，10號召開宣傳工作會議，公開露面。

Absent from editorial, has Southern Weekend compromised?
Experiencing the event of “new year Congratulation”,
Southern Weekend published againas normal.
However, the newspaper didn’t report the event of “new year
congratulation” and neither did it publish an editorial.
Meanwhile, minister of Guangdong provincial party
propaganda department, Tuo Zhen appeared as normal.
Some messages have exposed that Southern Weekend Press
has been compromised.
Hong Kong ‘s Ming Pao reported that
former chief editor of Southern Weekend Huang Can
didn’t participate in the work of the new paper.
And member of Press group who charged Southern Weekend
Wang Genghui agreed to publish.
In commentary of layout F32, it reproduced a
signed-name Comment from ‘People’s Daily’ in keeping with the steps of the era.
In the posting order, the recommendation read:
It’s a principle that Party controlled media and
the method should keep up with the era.
It is worthy of attention, that there is no editorial in
New Southern Weekend.
Some messages have pointed out that
the editor was censored and forbidden to publish.
New York times quoted a senior editor that the press leader
had quarreled with his staff on the evening of January 9.
The staff insisted on publishing editorial and supporting
letters from readers.to guard the viewpoint of the newspaper.
However, the leader considered that publishing an editorial
was not going to calm the situation and did not agree to publish.
Director of Shenzhen Institute of Contemporary Observation,
Liu Kaiming: “it’s normal that the competent authorities do
not allow publishing the editorial.
At least, if it was published, it would be equal to
yielding to the propaganda department.
They will consider not only a way dealing with this event
but also of controlling media after this event.
The propaganda department is able to cancel
this newspaper for political reasons.
So in this case, the relevant editors and reporters
have to compromise.”
Some messages exposed that the propaganda department
had made a secret agreement with Southern Weekend.
The report said that some staff weren’t happy with the
compromise and thought there wasn’t enough experience
for defence and that it couldn’t take too much pressure.
Liu Kaiming: “The Press thinks too much and
there is no blind alley.
All media in mainland China are under control of the CCP’s
leader and all senior reporters and editors are Party cadres.”
Writer and chief director of news Department of Ta Kung Pao
Weekly Zhu Jianguo: “it’s possible that leaders of Southern
Weekend were forced into a blind alley.
It’s impossible that central leaderships were forced into a
blind alley, and they would not take it seriously.”
Big event such as Tiananmen Square protests (June fourth)
didn’t force them into a blind alley yet.”
Taiwan’s Liberty Times reported that an anonymous editor
in Southern Weekend had exposed that there was now a lot of anger in the editorial offices.
Although higher leadership promised there would be no
revenge after the event,someone would be forced to resign.
Meanwhile, from outside it was also questioned if there really
had been a chance to change the censorship system, and why Southern Weekend went on to insist?
Writer and chief director of news Department of
Ta Kung Pao Weekly Zhu Jianguo believe that
step by step to break through the news censorship of
the CCP regime would be a good strategy.
The more similar incidents popping out,
the faster of freedom era could come true.
It is hard to get it done by only one shot.
Zhu Jianguo: “It can secretly insist in some aspect and can’t
insist on the whole because of the overall environment.
After all, the personnel power is in hand of the authority
Now, someone will resign, it’s certain.
So in this case, it’s impossible for a newspaper
to win the struggle.
However, though it failed to win it’s glory.
It has warned authority not to be so arrogant.”
In addition, Ming Pao also quoted news that
on the morning of Jan 10th, outside Southern Weekend, four protesters were taken away by police.
By now, mainland media hadn’t mentioned any
information about the Southern Weekend event.
On Thursday, Former chief editor of Southern Weekend
Chang Ping, said in Twitter:
‘If Southern weekend has compromised with the propaganda
department, it should give an explanation to the public.
When there hasn’t been an agreement, you can appeal
for transparency and an exposure of the truth.
When an agreement is made, both sides
enter a black box together.’
Zhu Jianguo: “it’s possible to open some information,
especially on the Internet. However, it’s impossible to open all of it.”
Liu Kaiming thinks that the real inside has been opened.
That is the propaganda department has interfered with the
independence of the editors and reporters of Southern Weekend.
Liu Kaiming: “ This time the propaganda department
broke the golden rule, at the same time,
it also destroyed the tacit agreement between media
and the propaganda department.
The tacit agreement is: ‘the media accepts the leader of
the propaganda department whilst the department can’t directly interfere with the media.’
I think it’s fair to call the department’s action ‘rape’.”
According to Guangdong TV, on the Southern Weekend
event, Tuo Zhen appeared in a propaganda work conference on January 10.
