【新唐人2014年06月20日訊】中共國家新聞出版廣電總局週三發出通告，要求各新聞機構對旗下分社和部門「集中檢查清理違規問題」，禁止記者站跨行業、跨領域採訪報導。評論認為，這個通告明顯是壓制批評聲音，中國的新聞言論空間將進一步緊縮。
6月18號，中共國家新聞出版廣電總局發佈通告指出，近期查辦了八起記者索賄的違法違規案件。
通告要求各新聞單位對記者站、網站經營部門、採編部門進行「集中清理，禁止記者站跨行業、跨領域採訪報導，同時還要求各新聞媒體把好報導審核關，禁止記者站和新聞記者私自設立網站、網站地方頻道、專版專刊、內參等刊發批評報導。」
廣電總局有關負責人宣稱，違規嚴重者一律吊銷出版許可證，記者經查實利用新聞採編牟取不正當利益者，一律吊銷記者證﹔此外，涉嫌犯罪者移送司法追究，並追究黨紀政紀責任。
江蘇資深媒體人徐祥指出，媒體借所謂負面新聞，敲詐勒索的情況普遍存在，被曝光負面新聞的單位，向報社支付「封口費」，採訪的記者從中拿提成，這已成為行業潛規則。
江蘇資深媒體人徐祥：「中國的新聞沒有希望，就是因為他們和金錢掛了鉤，和貪污腐敗掛了鉤，和有償新聞和有償不聞掛了鉤，他們這一次下達這個通告，其實也能體現出他們內部的管理已混亂到了甚麼程度。」
中共喉舌《新華社》曾被中共巡視組揭發：利用發稿權搞「有償新聞」或「有償不聞」，日前，巡視組說，《新華社上海分社》退回了交通銀行尚未執行合同的350萬元金額。
原《陝西電視臺》記者馬曉明指出，不准進行批評報導，或者不准私自進行批評報導，不是現在才實施的，而是中共幾十年來一貫採取的手法。
原《陝西電視臺》記者馬曉明：「它就是借這次所謂反對記者進行有償新聞和進行新聞敲詐這個事情，來重申它們這種政治態度。嚴格的講中共沒有新聞的，它說的這個新聞都是宣傳，它沒有客觀公正的新聞，對於不利於他統治的，不願意接受的消息，它就進行封鎖，這是一貫的態度。」
原浙江《中國海洋報》記者昝愛宗認為，新聞總局的這個通告，明顯是加強壓制批評報導，中國的新聞言論空間將進一步緊縮。
浙江原《中國海洋報》記者昝愛宗：「它現在就是說，壓制批評報導，它沒有辦法，它只有用這種辦法，這種辦法就是讓你好好做自己的報導，實際上也就是讓你做『表揚』報導，只要不做批評報導，你『表揚』報導跨行業也可以、跨區域也可以。」
那麼，甚麼叫跨區域批評報導？
馬曉明：「許許多多的媒體，不能在自己分管的行業或區域裡頭報導本區域、本行業的一些負面消息，怎麼辦呢？就由其他行業或者其他跨區域，跨行業這樣的報紙、媒體去刊登這樣的消息，所以中共這次又特別重申堵住這種跨區域、跨行業這種進行負面報導的消息。」
徐祥認為，這個通告等於給那些真正履行輿論監督的記者，又戴上了一副鐐銬。
徐祥：「你要寫批評報導可以，你要遵守寫批評報導的潛規則，它是不讓記者幹私活，拿私錢，它要求就是你作為小嘍囉，你出去敲詐勒索的錢，要交給我本『大王』來再行分配，你才符合遊戲規則，否則就是非法的。」
去年以來，包括《新快報》調查新聞中心記者劉虎、陳永洲和北京資深媒體人高瑜、以及《搜狐網》的博客總監趙牧等數以十計的媒體人，被中共當局以各種罪名拘捕。
國際媒體人權組織「記者無國界」最新發佈的「世界新聞自由指數」報告排名中，中國在180個國家和地區中位列第175位，倒數第5。

Chinese State Media Administration Announce Ban on Arbitrary
Critical Reports
On Wednesday, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) state
administration of press radio film and TV (SAPPRFT)
issued a circular to the news organization branches and
departments requiring collective check and clean-up to forbid
cross-industry, cross-sector coverage from reporter stations.
Comments believe this notice obviously suppresses critical
voices increasing censorship.
June 18, the CCP SAPPRFT issued a circular pointing out that
8 bribe request cases for reporters were investigated recently.
The notice requested the news organizations to collectively
clean up the reporter stations, website operation departments and
editorial departments.
It requested prohibition of cross-industry, cross-sector coverage.
It also requires good news auditing from all news media
to prohibit critical reports published at reporter stations or
reporters’ private websites, the website of local channels,
special page or magazine and other internal reference. “
The relevant person of SAPPRFT said they will revoke the
license to publish for serious violations.
They will also revoke the reporter certificate for the reporters
verified as seeking illegal interest through news editing.
In addition, the suspect offenders to be transferred to
judicial authority to investigate for party and government
discipline responsibility.
Jiangsu senior media person Xu Xiang pointed out that “it’s
quite normal for the media’s extortion by so-called negative
news.
It has been the industry’s unspoken rules that the company with
the exposed negative news paid the hash money which is
deducted by the reporters as interviewers.”
Jiangsu senior media person Xu Xiang:" China news has
no hope because it is money related, corruption related and
payment or nonpayment related.
This notice can reflect how messy their internal management is."
CCP mouthpiece Xinhua News Agency had been discovered
by the CCP inspection teams to engage in paid news or paid
without news in use of publish right.
Recently, the inspection team said that Xinhua News Agency
Shanghai Branch has returned 3.5 million Yuan to the Bank
Of Communication for the unperformed contract.
The former Shanxi TV reporter Ma Xiaoming pointed out it
has been ten years’ tactic not allowing critical report or private
critical report from CCP.
The former Shanxi TV reporter Ma Xiaoming:"They just reaffirm
their political attitude through the opportunity of the opposing paid
news or news extortion.
Strictly speaking, the CCP has no impartial news but propaganda.
It’s consistent for them to block all news which is not good to its
ruling or unacceptable for them."
Former Zhejiang China Ocean News reporter Zan Aizong
believes that it’s obvious the notice strengthened the suppression
of critical reports; the Chinese news expression space will be
further tightened.
Zan Aizong:"There’s no other way to suppress a critical report.
They actually want you to publish praise report, even
cross-industry, cross-sectorial coverage as long as it’s not
criticism."
So, what is the cross-sectorial report of criticism?
Ma Xiaoming: “many medias cannot report negative news in
their own industries or regions. What can they do?
They will let other sectors or other cross-regional, cross-industry
newspapers or medias do it.
So this time, the CCP reaffirmed no cross-regional, cross-industry
negative news."
Xu Xiang believes that this notice is equal to a pair of chains
for those reporters who truly fulfill the media supervision.
Xu Xiang: “You have to follow the potential rules to write
critical news.You have to comply with the game rule to give
the extortion money to him to allocate; but no private money
or private work.Otherwise, it’s illegal.”
Since last year, dozens of media people including the Express
survey news reporter Liu Hu, Chen Yongzhou and Beijing
senior media person Gao Yu, as well as Sohu blog director
Zhao Mu were arrested by Chinese authorities
on a variety of charges.
International human rights organization Reporters Without
Borders recently released World Press Freedom Index Report said
China is ranked 175 in 180 countries, the last country but five.
