【新唐人2013年01月12日讯】历经“新年献词”撤稿争议的中国《南方周末》，10号照常出刊。不过新一期《南周》并未跟进报导“新年献词”事件，也没有刊发社论。同时，广东省委宣传部长庹震当天照常露面。有消息指说，《南周》已经妥协。
香港《明报》报导，《南周》原总编辑黄灿没有参与新一期编辑，改由分管《南周》的集团社委王更辉签版。F32评论版里摘要转载《人民日报》的署名评论–“要跟得上时代的节拍”，文后附加的“推荐理由”写道：“党管媒体是原则，党管媒体的方式要与时俱进”。
引人关注的是，最新一期的《南周》没有社论，有消息指出，社论遭到审查而被禁刊出。《纽约时报》引述一名资深编辑的话说，报社领导和员工9号晚曾发生争执，员工认为应该刊登捍卫报纸立场的社论，以及支持《南周》的读者来信，但领导觉得刊登不利于平息风波，不允许刊出。
“深圳当代社会观察研究所”所长刘开明：“主管部门不允许，这也是一贯的。如果最后登了，就等于宣传部门完全屈服。他们更多考虑的不仅是这个事件的处理方法，而是以后怎么管理传媒的问题。宣传部是有能力‘政治挂毙’这个报纸的，所以这种情况下，有关的编辑记者必须妥协。”
有消息说，宣传部门和《南周》达成了秘密协议。
报导说，有员工对《南周》的妥协表示不满，认为他们抗争经验不足、压力太大。而高级编辑鄢烈山说，记者不想把党的高层领导人逼入绝路。
刘开明：“这个他们过虑了。不存在有什么绝路的问题。所有的中国新闻媒体都是在党的直接领导之下，所有的高级新闻采编人员都是党的干部。”
大公报《大周刊》主笔兼新闻部主任 朱健国：“把南方报的领导（被）逼到绝路还有可能。中央级领导那不可能。他们不在意。当年‘六四’那么大的动作，也没把他们逼到绝路。”
台湾《自由时报》报导，一位匿名的《南周》编辑透露，目前编辑部内弥漫愤怒情绪，尽管高层保证不会秋后算账，但预料可能会有人请辞或被迫去职。同时，外界也有声音质疑，如果有机会改变中共的审查制度，《南周》为什么不坚持下去呢？
大公报《大周刊》主笔兼新闻部主任朱健国表示，要突破中共审查制度必须是渐进的。只要类似事件不断出现，就会加速新闻自由时代的到来。想一次就解决问题还比较困难。
朱健国：“它只能暗暗的做某些方面的坚持，全部的坚持是不可能的。因为大环境摆在这。毕竟人事权还是在当局这一方。目前这个情况也会大换班，也会走很多人，肯定的。所以想在这种环境下以一个报纸抗争取得胜利是不可能的，但是它虽败犹荣。对当局也是一个很大的警示，警示它们不可太张狂。”
另外，《明报》引述现场的消息指出，10号下午，《南周》总部外共有4位抗议者被警方带走。
直到目前，众多中共媒体对《南周》事件只字未提。前《南周》主编长平周四在推特中表示，“如果南周已和宣传部门达成协议，那就需要给公众一个交代。不能没谈妥就呼吁真相和透明，谈妥了就一起进入暗箱”。
朱健国：“有限的公开可能会，网上可能会出来些有限的（公开），但全部公开是不可能的。”
而刘开明认为，真正的内幕已经公开了，而且所有人都知道，那就是宣传部门直接干预了《南周》独立办报的方针，和编辑记者的采编行为。
刘开明：“这一次宣传部门不仅打破了明规则，同时也破坏了媒体和宣传部门的默契。默契就是‘我接受你的领导，但你不能直接去干预我’。这次很多人用‘强奸’来形容宣传部门的行为，我觉得是合适的。”
据《广东卫视》报导，《南周》风波的主角、被要求下台呼声高涨的庹震，10号召开宣传工作会议，公开露面。

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.
