Call to protect media’s image
Print Edition
The All-China Journalists Association yesterday detailed cases of media blackmailing, calling on journalists and news organizations to safeguard the image of the profession.
Wang Qingji, who was a reporter with the China Reform Daily, illegally charged 80,000 yuan (US$13,176) in “propaganda fees” from a hospital in east China’s Shandong Province in early 2012. Wang, who also worked part time for China Food Safety News, has been sacked from both the newspapers, according to the association.
A report, which was carried by the 21st Century Business Herald on August 9, 2013, mistakenly reported a 5-year development target for Youyang County in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality as the county’s target for 2012.
In addition, a report carried by a morning newspaper in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, claimed that a man discovered that a woman with whom he had planned to have sex with was his daughter-in-law. The report was later verified and found to be misleading.
The report was originally produced by a local television station and was reprinted by the paper, the association added.
In October, Chen Yongzhou, a former reporter for Guangzhou-based daily newspaper New Express, was arrested for allegedly causing damage to the commercial reputation of Zoomlion, an engineering company in Changsha, capital of central China’s Hunan Province.
The association condemned the misbehaviors, adding that the journalists and news papers have received punishments ranging from revocation of press cards to warnings.
