【新唐人2013年04月11日訊】《南方》報業日前易主，由廣東省委宣傳部副部長楊健，出任《南方》報業傳媒集團管委會主任，兼任集團董事長。一般大陸民眾及國際媒體都認為，《南方》報業是大陸罕見的敢言媒體，此番易主，被質疑「敢言傳統是否壽終正寢」？下面我們一起來看看專家的分析。
廣東省人民政府網站，4月7號發佈廣東省政府3月人事任免信息，免去楊興鋒的《南方》報業傳媒集團管委會主任、及「南方報業傳媒集團有限公司」董事長職務，由廣東省委宣傳部副部長楊健出任。
國外媒體質疑，這一變動，《南方》報業敢言傳統是否壽終正寢？因為接掌大權的人，不是《南方》報業的「自己人」，而是由當局宣傳部直接調入。
曾在《南方》報業集團任職的媒體人孟波，在微博評論說，多年來，《南方》報業連續幾任負責人都是內部提拔，這次楊健任職，打破了這一慣例。
時事評論員汪北稷認為，《南方》報業從《南方週末》到《南方都市報》，原來還是屬於比較開放的媒體集團，但是換了許多負責人之後，近來，越來越走向了保守。
曾經和《南方》報業記者關係密切的汪北稷還提到，在所謂的改革開放之後，《南方》報業的領導，到海外發現，西方社會的報紙非常豐富多彩，而中國的報紙，除了幾個簡單的不像新聞的報導，就是官話、和黨八股。
時事評論員汪北稷：「南方報業集團，實際上就是一塊土壤，是在中共集團統治裡面，產生的一個新聞的，一個比較有正義感的土壤。而中共始終不斷的，從它的中央宣傳部到廣東的省委宣傳部，不斷的去打壓它，不斷的用各種方法來控制《南方》報業傳媒集團，一有比較優秀的新聞人，他們就會把它逼走。」
日本《朝日新聞》報導，楊健兼任董事長，意味著《南方》集團旗下媒體，將按照當局的意見進一步推進自主限制。同時，報導還引述有關人員的話指出，記者和幹部們都很害怕《南方》的傳統會就此消失。
不過，時事評論員林子旭不認為《南方週末》的辦報風格，會輕易改變。因為這些年來，它已經深植到了報業內部每個人的心裡。
林子旭表示，現在整個中國的媒體大環境正在快速的發生變化，如果新來的董事長一味的打壓《南周》記者、和編輯們的報導自由，反而會增強《南周》員工爭取報導自由的信心。
時事評論員林子旭：「現在中共打壓言論自由和民眾爭取言論自由，正處在一種鏖戰的過程中，民眾現在是越來越看到希望了，這樣的民眾就會越戰越勇，中共的打壓，反而有可能會變成進一步增強民眾鬥志的一種催化劑。」
林子旭還表示，現在很多媒體的記者和編輯們都在向《南周》看齊，有的甚至比《南周》還敢言，而這些是中共打壓不過來的。
林子旭認為，中共的輿論防火牆，很快就會徹底崩塌。中共換《南周》董事長的做法只是徒勞。
也有網友質問，這是中共所謂的新政嗎？因為年初的「南周事件」秋後算賬？楊興鋒被免職？
另外，北京近代史史學家章立凡也在網上回應說：「南南周，北炎黃，福無雙至，禍不單行。」
經濟學家韓志國接下文：「南憲政，北憲政，禍起蕭牆，南柯一夢！」
律師郭暉則認為：「炎黃、南周，南北呼應。」
作家慕容雪村表示，新政，晶晶亮，透心「涼」。
而山東煙臺的某企業董事長畢成君認為：「對惡性腫瘤，除了切除，任何幻想都是可笑的。」

Will the new Leader of Southern Newspaper change its Style?
“Southern" newspaper has a new leader Yang Jian. He is
the deputy director of Guangdong propaganda department.
And now, he will be the director of “Southern"
newspaper and chairman of the media group.
People in Mainland and the international media think that
the Southern newspaper was very outspoken in the past.
With a new leader, does that mean that
this tradition will come to an end?
Let’s take a look at the experts’analysis.
On 7thApril, Guangdong Provincial People’s Government
website announced the removal of Yang Xingfeng as director
and chairman of the Southern Newspaper Media Group.
Yang Xingfeng will be replaced by Yang Jian, the deputy
director of the Guangdong Propaganda Department.
The overseas media question whether this change
would end Southern’s outspoken tradition.
The power lies no longer in the hands of the media people, but
instead with someone directly from the propaganda department.
Meng Bo, a former Southern Newspaper worker,
said on his blog that for years,
the director of Southern Newspaper was promoted
from within. Now, Yang Jian has broken that practice.
Political commentator Wang Beiji thinks that the
Southern newspaper evolved from the Southern Weekend,
and then to Southern Metropolitan.
They were a more open media group.
However, after a few changes of leadership,
it has become more and more conservative.
Wang once had a close relationship with Southern reporters,
saying that after the reform and opening up,
the leaders of Southern went abroad and discovered that
the newspapers of western society were very colorful.
On the contrary, mainland newspapers have
a few simple non-news like reports,
in addition to official remarks, and party rhetoric.
Wang Beiji:"The Southern Newspaper Group, is actually
a place within the Chinese Communist Party(CCP).
It is press with a sense of justice coming from the CCP.
Yet, the CCP has continued to suppress it,
from its central propaganda department to
the Guangdong propaganda department.
The CCP has used various means to control
the Southern Media Group.
Whenever it has excellent media people,
the CCP will force them to quit."
Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reported that
Yang Jian is concurrently chairman of the board,
and that means the Southern Media Group will be
in accordance with the views of the authorities and
independent views will be further restricted.
The report also quoted the words of reporters and
other workers that they are afraid of the Southern
tradition disappearing forever.
However, political commentator Lin Zixu does not think
the Southern Newspaper’s style will be easily changed.
Over the years, it has been deeply rooted in
the hearts of every worker there.
Lin Zixu said that the entire media environment
is rapidly changing.
If the new leader comes and exerts more pressure
against the freedom of reporters and editors,
it may strengthen their determination
to freely report the news.
Lin Zixu:"At the moment, it is a fierce battle between the
CCP’s suppression and people’s desire for freedom of speech.
More people can see hope and more people will fight harder.
The CCP’s suppression may turn into a catalyst
to further enhance public morale."
Lin Zixu also said many media reporters and editors
are now in line with the Southern Newspaper,
and some are even more outspoken than the Southern Group.
That is beyond the CCP’s suppression.
Lin Zixu believes that the CCP’s firewall for
public opinion will soon collapse.
Thus, the CCP will not gain much by changing
the chairman of the Southern Media Group.
Netizens also question whether the removal of
Yang Xingfeng is a retaliating move resulting from
the Southern incident at the beginning of 2013.
Zhang Lifan, a Beijing modern historian, wrote on his blog:
‘Southern Newspaper, Northern Yanhuang,
Blessing comes by itself, But, disaster comes in pair.’
Economist Han Zhiguo adds to Zhang’s text:
‘Southern constitution, Northern constitution,
Disasters come within oneself,
But, everything will soon pass!’
Lawyer Guo Hui: ‘Southern Newspaper and
Northern Yanhuang are co-responding to each other.’
Writer Mu Ronxue:
‘New administration surely chills my heart.’
Bi Chengjun, chairman of a Yantai City company:
‘Regarding a malignant tumor,
everything is ridiculous, except surgery.’
