【新唐人2011年12月3日讯】日前，广东省委书记汪洋在出席一项会议时，指责媒体报导社会阴暗面，要求媒体多报好人好事。民众质疑当局有意粉饰太平、压制言论自由。
汪洋在会议上要求媒体多报导好人好事，宣传道德模范，并说“好孩子是夸出来的，好的社会风气也是讴歌出来的！”
《法国国际广播电台》香港特约记者，前香港记者协会主席麦燕庭女士表示，新闻就是报导事实的真相，汪洋的说法从根本上违背新闻自由的概念。
麦燕庭：“新闻自由就是反映社会上出现的事情，社会上如果真的有问题当然要反映，不能说只说好的，不能说不好的，那社会的问题不能改进，民间的冤情不能申诉，其实对社会的发展也是不好。”
汪洋批评，有些媒体通过猎奇、感官刺激吸引眼球，令广东成了凶杀、暴力、跳楼、拐骗各类事故频发的地方。
十月，广东佛山小悦悦被卡车反复碾过，18人路过却无人相救，遭到全球媒体炮轰。
麦燕庭女士表示，报导社会的阴暗面有利于民众吸取教训，从而改善社会的道德环境。
麦燕庭：“你报导出来后，大家去反省，去改善，社会才能一步一步的向前走， 向好的方面发展，我们把那个问题盖起来的话，那个问题始终有一天会积累到一个点，使大家都受不了，然后突然间爆发的话，那其实对社会有更大的影响，更大的遗憾。”
大陆著名诗人李南女士表示，在中国，媒体是中共的喉舌，报导自然围绕着中共的需要而选择。
李南：“它要愚弄人们，它要愚弄百姓，它肯定就是要正面的报导，它不是说民生问题放在第一，或者人权问题放在第一，它不是从人的角度来考虑的，它就是为政党说话。”
据麦燕庭女士透露，曾经也有大陆官员试图限制香港媒体的自由，不过没有得逞。
麦燕庭：“有中方官员曾经在香港有类似的说法，但是立刻市民以及传媒有很大的反弹，我们说传媒不是宣传机器，你要说你的，你自己可以讲，你不能要求传媒怎么讲。但是他们私下里当然对某一些传媒，会用政府的立场去影响他们。”
汪洋在会上说，他母亲80岁，在安徽都知道广东乱的不行，每次打电话都叮咛他出门注意安全，他认为，是媒体让外界以为广东是一个乱得一塌糊涂的地方。
据当地媒体报导，上周五(25日)佛山一满月宴上,公安抓了近百人，包括13名黑老大，搜获斧头大刀七把,这个四川籍黑帮团伙10月曾与另一黑帮开枪火并。

CCP Secretary Asks Media to Report More Positive News
Wang Yang, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Guangdong
provincial secretary,
accused the media of reporting too many dark pieces of news
about society, and asked media to report more good deeds in a meeting recently.
The public questions the regime’s intent to use the media to
window-dress the society, and suppress freedom of speech.
Wang Yang asked the media to report more good deeds,
to advocate the moral model,
and said, ”a good child is due to praise, and
a good society is from compliment.”
Ms. Mak Yin-ting, Hong Kong special correspondent of
“France International Radio” and
former president of Hong Kong Correspondent Association,
said that news is reporting the truth.
What Wang Yang said is fundamentally violating the concept of
press freedom.
Mak Yin-ting: “Press freedom is reflecting what happened in society.
If there are problems, media should report it fairly.
Can’t only report the positive news,
neither only negative news.
Otherwise, the social matters can’t be improved, the civil
grievances can’t be compliant, and it’s not good for a society’s development.”
In the same meeting, Wang Yang criticized some media
for using adventure and sensory stimuli to attract attention,
which led to murder, violence, cheating, fraud and suicides
happening more frequently in Guangdong province.
In Oct., Guangdong Foshan toddler Yueyue was run over
by 2 vans in the street, and the 18 passers-by didn’t do anything to help.
Global Media bombarded society with reports of
this piece of news.
In Nov., a passer-by stopped a car in Wuhan, which knocked a
doctorate student down and dragged her for 10 meters.
Ms. Mak Yin-ting said media reports on the social dark side
influences the public to think about what is good, then improve the social moral environment.
Mak Yin-ting: “People will think over and improve themselves
after it’s been reported.
Then the society will go forward in the right direction
step by step.
If we hide the issues, then the issue will accumulate to a point
that people can’t stand.
Suddenly, there will be a breakout which will have a
bigger impact on and hurt the society deeply.”
Ms. Li Nan, a famous Chinese poet, said that the media is a
mouthpiece of CCP in China, and their reporting is based on CCP’s needs.
Li Nan: “It fools people, fools the civil folks.
Definitely, it reports everything in a positive way, because
livelihood isn’t its priority, human rights aren’t its priority.
It doesn’t think based on human being’s needs, it thinks based
on the interests of the party.”
Ms. Mak Yin-ting revealed that some Chinese officials tried
to restrict the press freedom in Hong Kong, but failed finally.
Mak Yin-ting: “In Hong Kong, Chinese officials had similar
words like Wang Yang, but the public and media opposed it immediately.
We said media is not a propaganda machine,
you yourself can say it, but you can’t order the media to say it.
But privately, they influenced some media to stand
in the regime’s shoes.”
Wang Yang said in the meeting that his 80-year-old mother
lives in Anhui province.
She knows Guangdong is in chaos.
She asked him to be more careful.
Wang Yang said it’s up to the media to let the out to the world
their feeling that Guangdong isn’t safe.
Local media reported that the police arrested nearly 100 people,
including 13 gang leaders, and seized 7 axes and knives in Foshan last Friday (Nov. 25th).
This gang’s members are from Sichuan, they had a gun fight
with another gang in October.
