Yuan Shi 2018, Dì Dū School of Communication.

On the sixth floor of the Media Building, a seminar on the finalization of the third draft of the revised edition of the History of Journalism and Media is being held here, but several mainstream scholars still have some opinions on the finalization of the mother of media.

On the elongated conference table, Wen Haimiao, a professor of communication who was sitting in the dominant position, that is, the position of the main house, slapped the table hard and stood up:

"What qualifications do you have to deny the status of the mother of the media and reduce the content of news and media history about her, you must know that our media industry has followed the ten laws of media for more than 1,000 years, which were set by her old man, and not a word has been changed so far.

Although she is not the founder of the news media, she is definitely the hero of the establishment of our media industry. ”

"Professor Wen, you're too emotional.

We're cutting back on the content for the sake of the students, and you don't think one person has taken up nearly half of the entire history of journalism and media.

Is it too much?

We admit that the mother of media can be called the founder of our media industry, not only can be regarded as the original pioneer of some aspects, but also the master of the whole, and even many of the books and theories we currently learn in the news media are also derived from the mother of media.

But it's a bit too boring for students to learn from her alone for most of the semester.

You should know that students can not only see the content about the mother of media in the history of journalism and media, but also "Journalism Media Theory", "Introduction to Communication Studies", "Media Sociology", "Mass Communication Theory and the Relationship between Social Development", .......

In short, as long as it is a study book related to journalism, media and media.

There is the mother of media.

It's hard for students not to feel disgusted.

Wouldn't it be nice to condense some things that are not very important into one sentence and briefly describe them, some things that are too old do not need to be known too much by students, if they want to know more, they can completely let them read the after-class books by themselves, or go to graduate school in the future.

There are also many important figures in modern media history, and there are also many pioneering figures, and I think it is a good choice to include them.

You say no! ”

Personally, I have different opinions, Professor Wen thinks that the mother of media is very important, and others also think that the mother of media is not so important, or even if it is important, it is not so important.

It's all a matter of personal opinion.

"Although there are some differences between my thoughts and Professor Zhang, the general meaning is similar, and to give a simple example, the three ancestors of mankind and the three emperors are quite important, but I haven't read half of the history books dedicated to writing about one of the three ancestors, or writing about the three emperors.

Can the Suiren clan say that it doesn't matter?

Can Shennong say that it doesn't matter?

However, the sum of their three ancestors and the three emperors is no more than six pages in total, and the thirty-six pages of content we have left for the mother of the media are already quite face-saving, and there is really no need to add more. ”

As Professor Zhang finished speaking, Professor He, who was sitting opposite Professor Zhang, also echoed the voice.

An example was also given.

Sounds like a lot of sense.

"I also think it's okay to scale it down.

Times are changing, and after the death of the mother of media, the media empire collapsed, which is enough to show that she is not perfect, and we don't need to look at her as a perfect person.

Moreover, the reason why the mother of media was able to create a media empire and create the four major media so smoothly was the indispensable role of Mi Wei Di.

There are legends of the two of them in the wild history.

Although there is no love story depicted in the wild history in the official history, the support of the media industry is well known, so it is a matter of course to add the Miwei Emperor. ”

Seeing that three people in a row were opposing his opinion, Professor Wen hurriedly continued to stand and said loudly:

"There is a question about the fragmentation of the media empire.

The autobiography in the tomb of Liu Xian has long given the answer, and there are several other celebrities of the same era, each of whom has a part of the autobiographies of people who split the media empire as supporting evidence.

These contents are enough to prove that the division of the media empire is fundamentally the planning of the mother of media, and it is a completely different concept from the self-division that was thought in the past, which has changed in history.

You haven't changed it yet?

Forget it, let's take a step back.

I agree that some of the content does not need to be overly detailed, but some of the core content must be detailed, and the sources of information should be noted below some of the content that cannot be detailed.

It's easy for students to go back and find it.

Among them, the origin of the mother of media, the source and development experience of the media empire, the emergence of newspaper and magazine media, radio media, television media, and film media, the ten laws of the media industry, and the ten standards for journalists, these must be all necessary. ”

"Okay, let's take a step back.

You can keep what you said, but there is no need to write too much about the emergence of the medium, after all, not many people care about how newspapers are made and how television is made.

How are movies and movies made?

Suffice it to say a few words about how these media were created by the mother of media and caused a sensation back then. ”

……

After many bargains and-for-tat discussions, the relevant content of the history of journalism and communication was finally decided, although a large part of the content of the mother of media was reduced, but under the insistence of Professor Wen, fifty pages were still retained, stuck on a quarter of the bottom line.

and other relevant news after the news spread.

All the students of the School of Communication were not as happy as the professors who changed the books expected, and even complained and dissatisfied.

To those professors, it may seem that they are reducing the burden on the students by reducing the content about the mother of the media, but in fact, in the eyes of all the students, this is a completely alternative burden.

Because whether the content of the mother of media is increased or decreased, there are still so many things to be tested in the end, and now they have reduced the content of the mother of the media and added some figures in the media field of modern history, which undoubtedly makes them add some relevant information and materials in the media world of modern history to the original content of recitation.

But the matter has been decided, and even new textbooks are already being printed

Naturally, there is no possibility of further change.

Not to mention textbook changes.

When have the student's ideas been considered.
