【新唐人2013年01月25日讯】广东省政协十一届一次会议23号在广州揭幕，月初发生的《南方周末》新年献词遭窜改事件成为焦点，广东省委宣传部长庹震也出席了开幕大会，但快闪离去。广东省委宣传部副部长、南方报业传媒集团党委书记杨健，多次回避记者有关《南周》的提问，只说“事件已经妥善解决”。
据“英国广播公司（BBC）”报导，广东省委书记胡春华及省委宣传部长庹震，星期四在人大预备会议上，拒绝回应媒体有关“南周事件”的提问。
在此之前，外媒接连报导“南周事件”牵连的官员可能调离。日本《朝日新闻》报导，中共总书记习近平亲自下令去除庹震广东宣传部长职务，但是可能延迟到三月“两会”之后。
香港英文报纸《南华早报》援引接近广东省政府人士的消息指称，南方传媒集团副总编辑王更辉，接替2009年起担任总编辑的黄灿，黄灿将被安排到集团的其他位置上。
不过，一名前《南周》资深编辑否认黄灿调离，以及王更辉接替的传闻。
前《南周》资深编辑：“那是瞎扯。因为王更辉本来就是（南方集团）副总编分管《南方周末》的，他本来就是管《南方周末》的，什么叫接替，那不是把他降级了吗？”
但是跟《南周》编辑有联系的广东作家野渡则说，《南周》内部在流传，黄灿将离开的消息。
广东作家 野渡：“具体去向不清楚。不应该糟糕到哪里去。毕竟他是忠实的执行了党的路线。党是不会亏待他的。因为对于他这个体制来说，像黄灿这样的人，他们认为是放心使用的，因为民间越是反对你的话，越证明他是党的好干部。”
而对庹震，有消息说，他还是回到北京。
目前，经过抗议事件之后，《南方周末》去除了出版前审查的规定。
前《南周》资深编辑：“1.28那就回到正轨，常规，常规就是事后审查，本来以前多少年一直是事后审查，没有事先审查，现在是回到正轨。”
野渡：“现在确实已经改变事先审查方式，而是用一般媒体习惯的事后审查，原来《南周》是比较特殊的。一般中国媒体都是事后审查，只有《南周》才搞事先审查。反映体制对《南周》舆论控制的力度。”
上周四，《南方周末》发表一篇署名“南周编辑部”的特别声明，对新年献词的三处技术性硬伤予以更正。这篇新年献词正是庹震擅自篡改的作品。声明指出，这些错误无疑是对庹震的嘲讽。但是也有网民对“南周编辑部”不敢正面点出庹震的名字感到不满。
野渡：“他以南方周末编辑部名义发这个声明，也反映出目前他无奈的处境，因为从另外一个含义上也可以理解为，《南周》帮着省宣来背书。我们看到在微博上也引起很多网民谴责的声音。”
野渡表示，“南周事件”从头到尾，编辑部所提的要求和民间的要求，两者有很大的差异。
野渡：“他是承认了党对媒体的控制。只不过要求恢复到事后审查的状态而已。事实上，我觉得，《南周》怎么做，并不要紧。要紧的是，在这个事件里面，整个民间从知识份子到草根到异议人士，整体上对改变目前中国言论自由，包括其他自由状况的渴望和呐喊。”
香港《动向》杂志引述消息说，事件发生之初，胡春华经请示政治局，由中组部操作，将河北官员刘可为调往广东，打算接替庹震，出任广东宣传部长。但是，报导说，事情没有胡春华想像的那么简单，因此也就没法急于宣布庹震卸任广东省委常委兼宣传部长的职务。
而庹震自己也通过特定途径，谋求到了中宣部某个局，可能是理论局局长的职务，并将以副部级职衔出任。
Tuo Zhen May Step Down Returning To Beijing
Guangdong’s 1st section of People’s Political Consultative
Conference (PPCC) opened on January 23.
Southern Weekend’s (SW) New Year’ Greeting, censored
at the beginning of this month, became the meeting’s focus.
Tuo Zhen, the propaganda director of Guangdong Province,
attended the meeting, but left quickly.
Yang Jian, party secretary of Nanfang Daily Media Group,
and Guangdong’ propaganda vice director, avoided journalists’ questions on the SW incident.
Yang simply replied,
“The incident has been resolved.”
The BBC reported, Hu Chunhua, Guangdong party secretary,
and Tuo Zhen, refused to answer media’ questions about SW incident during the meeting on Thursday.
Prior to this, foreign media constantly reported
that officials involved in SW incident could be removed.
Japan’s Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported,
Xi Jinping ordered to remove Tuo Zhen.
However, this may be postponed until March, after Chinese
Communist Party’s (CCP) two annual meetings of People’s Congress and PPCC.
Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post English version
cited sources with close ties to the Guangdong government.
The report said that Wang Genghui, vice editor-in-chief
of Nanfang Daily Media Group, will take over Huang Can.
Huang Can is an editor-in-chief there since 2009,
but will now be moved to another position internally.
However, a former senior editor of Southern Weekend,
requesting anonymity, denied this rumor.
Interviewee X (anonymous former SW senior editor):
“That’s nonsense. Wang Genghui is vice editor-in-chief.
He supervised Southern Weekend.
What does “take over” mean? Isn’t he demoted?”
Guangdong writer Ye Du, who has close contacts
with SW editors, shared some insights too.
Ye said that rumors were spread within Southern Weekend,
that Huang Can will leave.
Ye Du: “It hasn’t been confirmed where he will go,
won’t be too bad though.
As he was loyal to the CCP, the CCP won’t treat him badly.
For the CCP, they trust people like Huang Can.
The more the people who are against Huang,
the more this proves his loyalty.”
Sources said that Tuo Zhen would return to Beijing.
Now Southern Weekend has removed the rule
of inspecting the articles before publishing.
Interviewee X: “That means the system goes back to normal.
‘Normal’ means inspecting after publishing.
Over the years the inspections were always after publishing,
never before that. Now it goes back to normal.”
Ye Du: “Now inspection before publishing has been changed.
With general media, the habit is to inspect after publishing.
Southern Weekend was special in the past. In China, media
usually inspects after publishing, only SW was otherwise.
It reflects the efforts to control Southern Weekend
by using the system’s power.”
Last Thursday, Southern Weekend published anonymous
statement from the editorial department.
It announced three corrections
for the notorious New Year’ Greeting.
The Greeting article was reviewed by Tuo Zhen,
he rewrote the original one.
The statement said that these errors were
undoubtedly ironic towards Tuo.
Netizens were dissatisfied that the statement
dares not point out Tuo’s name directly.
Ye Du: “They published the statement under the name
of the editorial department. It reflects their helpless situation.
In another words, Southern Weekend helped the provincial
propaganda department to declare its endorsement.
We can see on the microblogs
that many netizens condemn this.”
Ye Du said that the SW incident exposed all the way through,
the big gap between public and SW’s editorial requirements.
Ye Du: “They accepted the CCP’s control over the media,
only asking to restore the rule of inspecting after publishing.
Actually, I think, what Southern Weekend has decided
isn’t important.
The most important thing is, in this incident,
from intellectuals to vulnerable classes and dissidents,
all voices were requesting freedom of expression,
to be heard, including freedom for others.”
Hong Kong’s Trend magazine cited sources that in the onset
of the incident, Hu Chunhua consulted the Politburo.
After permission it was decided, under Central supervision
to send Hebei’s official Liu Kewei to Guangdong to replace Tuo Zhen as Guangdong propaganda department director.
However, the report said, it wasn’t as simple as Hu planned.
Thus the announcement of Tuo Zhen’s removal isn’t issued.
Yet, through special channels Tuo found a job
in the central propaganda department.
He may oversee the propaganda bureau’ theory department,
which is a vice-ministerial level position.
