However, abuse of the freedom of speech and freedom of the press may constitute infringement news. The concept of infringement is derived. Then, through general tort comparison, author summs up with legal characteristics of the news infringement. Finally, the news infringement dispute can be drawn. It is the essence of freedom of expression and freedom of the press and the right of personality conflicts. That is the right to freedom of the press against the personality. The conflict mainly manifests in the three conflict areas. They refer to conflict of the freedom of the press and the reputation of individual citizens the right to privacy and conflicts of news media and the state power and conflicts of the news media and public figures.The second part briefly introduces the form of the news violations. The forms include false news content and the undue criticism and comments and the use of insulting or slandering banned words and the real reporting or disclosure of someone's privacy and the lack of legal awareness wording.The third part focuss on elements and identify of the news violations. In 1993, the issue of the supreme people's court, "on the right to hear cases honorary answers to a number of issues", clearly states: shall, in accordance with the victims doing disrepute fact, behavior one offence, offence and the damage effects of causal relationship, the perpetrator is at fault subjective to that. That is generally believed that is the four elements constitute of the news infringement.Constitute infringement of the press is divided into five elements in this paper: news infringement behaviour, a fact of the right personality damage, the news there is a specific infringement at the works, the tort of people subjective fault, news personality violations and the fact that damage to the right between the causal relationship.The fourth part briefly introduces channels of judicial relief of the news infringement.

Article 35 of China's Constitution that stipulates the speech, freedom of publication and article 41 of the criticisms and suggestions are closely linked with all of the news organizations. If news organizations requested information activities without exception in the responsibility of the news agencies, the normal activities of the constitutional responsibility will be an extremely negative social impact. Therefore, in order to ensure that news agencies play a role as much as possible, it is necessary to give news organizations tort liability exemption privileges. This is basis that a press news agency can be exempted after the tort liability waiver. Then, the author analyses it from the face of the Quartet news infringement liability waiver for the analysis. The aspects include reports true, authoritative sources, goodwill criticism and fair comment, while media, and the parties agreed.The sixth part briefly introduces the reasons of occurrence of the press violations.
