【新唐人2013年01月14日讯】《南方周末》抗议事件本周已恢复出刊而暂告一段落。来自京城的消息说，《财新》传媒总编辑胡舒立曾受所谓的“南方朋友”之托，向中央政治局常委兼中纪委书记王岐山求助，由王出面联络广东省委书记胡春华，最终达成妥协。
香港《明报》11号刊发报导说，《财新》传媒总编辑胡舒立曾受“南方朋友”之托，向与她素有交情的王岐山求助。
消息指称，在新一届中央政治局常委分工中，虽然王岐山并不分管文宣，但由于王曾任职广东省委常委兼常务副省 长，与广东也算素有渊源，所以由他出面联络胡春华亲自协调，最终在省委宣传部长庹震等人参与磋商后，得出现有结果：总编黄灿去职，报纸不再有事前审查并恢复正常出版，报社采编人员也不会受罚，庹震不会被撤职。
在此之前，《路透社》报导，《南周》协议的条件是，《南方周末》复工，取消出版前审查作为交换，主编黄灿撤职，广东省宣传部长庹震也将下台,但是为顾及面子，不会让他立即离职。
而从最新消息来看，庹震安然无恙。广东作家，“独立中文笔会”网委协调人野渡表示，庹震即使离职，也不会被降级。
独立中文笔会网委协调人野渡：“庹震所谓离职应该是调到另外一个部门去，因为在官方来说，他并没有犯错误，反而是那些官方利益的坚决维护者，实际上对他不可能有行政的降级等等处理措施。可能为了平息目前的矛盾就是调到一个另外不同部门而已。”
野渡认为，目前高层对“南周事件”采取的措施主要是避免矛盾激化。
独立中文笔会网委协调人野渡：“因为在目前这个体制内外都在人心思变的局面底下，官方想用太急性的打压措施也是不可能做到的。特别是在全国媒体人，利用各种不同途径表达出这个声音的时候，他们想做的是尽快平息矛盾，而不是让它激化，实际上我们看到的也是这样的处理手法。”
《南方周末》的复工并未换取庹震的下台，而取消出版前审查的承诺也没有履行。据《金融时报》1月10号报导，在最新一期的报纸当中，《南方周末》的社论再次被枪毙。社论说，“南方周末本身是改革的产物，它必须承担起为改革探路的责任。”但是周四出版的报纸，没有刊登这篇社论。
《纽约时报》报导说，《南方周末》周四的出版稍微延迟，一名高级编辑透露说，部分原因是因为关于内容，报社内部发生争议，报纸领导层和员工就是否要发表一份捍卫报纸的社论，以及读者的来信声援，发生分歧。领导层选择不发表社论或者读者来信以平息危机。
外媒评论说，《南方周末》借庹震篡改新年献词这件事，探测中央的改革诚意和底线。从庹震安然无恙的结局来看，今后的新闻自由并不乐观。
野渡认为，新闻自由在中国来说是从属于执政党利益的。如果执政党一天不实行政治改革，那么在新闻自由方面，中共当局不可能做到放松。
香港《明报》指出，中共广东省委已发出文件，指出这次事件“从网上走到网下”，是中共十八大后和今年大陆人大、政协“两会”前的一次“意识形态的较量”。广东省委文件同时要求各级党委，留意“南周事件”的“复杂化、扩大化、政治化”倾向。
《明报》同时指出，广东省委书记胡春华决定“求稳”，黄灿不再担任《南方周末》总编辑，但仍保留“南方报业传媒集团”社委等职务。广东省委宣传部一名对外宣传办公室官员表示，目前没有接到宣传部长庹震离职的讯息。

Hu Shuli Entrusted by Southern Weekly to Ask for Wang Qishan’s Help
The Southern Weekly has resumed its edition this week
and the strike has come to an end.
Caixin Media editor-in-chief, Hu Shuli, was said to have
been entrusted by a friend in the Southern Weekly to seek
help from Wang Qishan, the Politburo Standing Committee
and the secretary of Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Hu Chunhua was thus contacted and came forward
to resolve the conflict.
According to Hong Kong’s Ming Pao News on the 11th,
Caixin Media editor-in-chief, Hu Shuli,
entrusted by a friend at Southern Weekly,
asked help from Wang Qishan, Hu’s long time friend.
Wang Qishan is the current Standing Committee
of the Politburo, and is not in charge of propaganda.
He was once the Provincial Party Standing Committee
and the executive vice governor of Guangdong.
It seemed natural for him to come forward to contact Hu Chunhua.
In the presence of Tuo Zhen, the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister, and others, Hu coordinated the settlement.
It was agreed that editor-in-Chief Huang Can will resign,
the newspaper is not subject to inspection and will resume
its edition, no reporter or editor will be punished,
and Tuo Zhen will not be removed from office.
Reuters previously reported that the deal is the journalists
will go back to work in exchange for removal of inspection prior to publication.
Editor Huang Can will be dismissed, and Tuo Zhen,
Propaganda Minister of Guangdong Province, will leave his post.
However, in order to save face, Tuo will not leave immediately.
According to the latest development,
Tuo Zhen seemed to remain.
Ye Du, a member of the Independent Chinese PEN Center,
indicates that Tuo Zhen will not be demoted even if he leaves the office.
Independent Chinese PEN member Ye Du: “Tuo Zhen might
be transferred to another department because officially, he did not make mistakes.
Being a resolute defender of official interests, in fact,
there should not be any administrative demotion for him.
He will only be transferred to a different department
to pacify the current conflict.”
Ye Du believes the authorities have avoided intensifying
the conflict in handling with the Southern Weekly incident.
Ye Du: “People are seeking changes these days.
Under such a condition, an extreme repressive measure
is impossible.
Domestic media, especially, are expressing their voice
through various routes.
The regime wants to settle, rather than to intensify
the conflict. That’s what we are seeing now.”
Southern Weekly resumed in exchange of Tuo Zhen’s post
and abolition of inspection.
However, officials followed through with neither.
According to a financial Times report on the 10th, the latest
editorial of Southern Weekly was once again censored.
The original editorial, “As a product of reform, Southern
Weekly must carry the reform pathfinder responsibility,” was not seen in Thursday’s edition.
New York Times reported that Southern Weekly’s,
“Thursday edition went to press late partly because of
internal disputes over content, one senior editor said.”
The newspaper’s leadership and employees disagreed
“over whether to publish an editorial defending the
Newspaper and letters of support from readers,” and
“the leadership chose not to publish the editorial or the letters in an effort to calm the crisis.”
It was commented that through the shock of Tuo Zhen’s
rewriting the New Year’s editorial, Southern Weekly probed the authorities’ reform.
The freedom of press is not optimistic based on the fact
that Tuo Zhen remains at his post.
Du Ye says that freedom of the press in China is subordinate
to the ruling party interests.
Without the implementation of political reforms,
the Communist regime will not let go of freedom of the press.
Hong Kong’s Ming Pao News reported that Guangdong
Provincial Party Committee has issued a paper indicating the incident as an, “ideological contest."
It asked the Party committees at all levels to watch out
for the “complicating, intensifying, and politicizing” of the Southern Weekly incident.
Ming Pao News also pointed out Guangdong Party Secretary
Hu Chunhua’s determination to “maintain stability.”
Huang Can will no longer serve as the editor-in-chief
of Southern Weekly, but remains as the Southern Newspaper Media Group Social Committee.
The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Propaganda
Department said that there’s no news about Tuo Zhen leaving his propaganda minister position.
