我们的新闻工作者在社会上一直是受到尊重的。之所以受人尊重,是因为编辑、记者具有公正无私的优良品质。于是人们信任他们,受委屈者愿意找他们倾吐心曲;求真理者愿从报纸上获得教益。但是,一些年来,这种尊重在无声中逐渐贬值,而演变成一种畏惧。人们说:“记者不敢得罪。”意思很明白:得罪了记者,报上给你捅一下,可受不了!随之,报纸的威信也受到动摇。表扬的东西,认为是记者“笔下生花”,批评呢?难免产生一种“那儿得罪了记者”的疑问。于是,新闻界的天平,在读者面前可怕地倾斜了。这种现象,固然可以从“四人帮”那里找 Our journalists have always been respected in the community. The reason why people are respected, because editors, journalists have a fair and selfless quality. So people trust them, the aggrieved are willing to find them pour out their hearts; seeking truth from the newspaper is willing to get lessons. However, for some years this respect gradually devaluated silently and evolved into a fear. People say: “The reporters can not offend.” The meaning is very clear: offended the reporter, the newspaper gave you a poke, can not stand! Followed by the newspaper’s prestige has also been shaken. Criticism of what is thought to be a reporter’s “pen out of flowers”, criticism? It is inevitable to produce a “where offended reporter” question. As a result, the balance of the press horrified before the reader. This phenomenon can certainly be found in the “gang of four.”
