Predicament Of The Mouthpiece: The Party’s Media Ruling Systems And The Political Propaganda In News Of Kuomintang(1945-1949)

In1927, the Kuomingtang founded its government in Nanjing, began to rule the country, and established its party’ media system. Absorbing the philosophy of "Publicity is Revolution", KMT regards the party’ media as the mouthpiece, provided fund and policy for them with the power of the government. The legitimacy, the validity and the progressiveness of the application of "Three People’s Principles" in social comments reflect the Kuomintang’ party ruling philosophy in news media, and serve as a sign of the establishment of media control systems under KMT’s rulings.As one of the constituents of the party-state ruling systems, party’s media embody the party’s features and reflect its balance and compromise in political life. The efforts to gain the advantageous position in the constitutional government and the political struggle and serve the party’s best interest, make the contradiction of KMT’s autocracy in ideologies and organizations reveal itself. Therefore the KMT’s media reform after WW Ⅱ shows the duality combining democracy-autocracy and progressive-conservative features.This duality has been showed in the following ways. The press censorship is abolished and the press freedom is encouraged, while at the same time, the political and economic means are secretly involved in press and media to the advantages of the party’s media. On one hand, the enterprise reform on party’s media has been carried out and share-holding companies have been set up; on the other hand, the stock rights have been monopolized by the party and the officials who have positions in the board of directors, which corrodes the reform and corrupts those officials working in party’s media. The contradiction exists in the systems of party’s media as well as those journalists on staff of the party’s media. They waver among to-be-journalist, to-be-party-member and to-be-academician. Cases with the party’s media involved verify the aforementioned conclusion on the macroscopic level and illuminate the predicament of lacking in Dream-making Space and the Ruling Cost that has been brought to the ruling party.
