Media Supervision In Information Public Environment

Media supervision is a hot and difficult spot in the journalism & communication study. But fundamental research falls into a difficult position with no big breakthrough, often only keep concern upon itself, especially the plea of news spirits and humane concern. Media supervision encounters all sorts of difficulties in reality, the main bottleneck of them lies in institution barriers. After unceasing exploration during 30 years of reform and open policy, the potential of media supervision was stimulated fully under the existing institution frame, new development must anticipate changes of institution environment. This conclusion has provided a new research prospective for media supervision——a view of institution."The government of the People's Republic of China Information Public Rule"has worked on May 1,2008. It means a new beginning for media supervision. This article tries to apply the method of institution analysis and analyze its influence which"Government Information Public Rule"will have upon media supervision. Then this article includes three closely related parts: Firstly, present situations of media supervision; Secondly, laws and regulations'careful explanation;Thirdly, the rule's influence upon media supervision.In the first chapter, media supervision's present situations and difficulties were be analyzed. Firstly, the concept of media supervision must be defined and logic relation of different definitions has been discussed. It is believed in this chapter that media supervision has a lasting significance as an important even the most important kind of media function, since the reform and open policy, media supervision generally also has made a big progress, but at present falls into the awkward conditions. This chapter involves three dimensions of the authority, the legal and the professional, and analyzes the complex causes. From the authority dimension we see under the political system the regional protectionism strongly resists media supervision which has rank limit. From the legal dimension we see that legal system is imperfect and legal education is not popular, which becomes two big systematic questions upon media supervision. From the professional dimension we see that media supervision's amateur leads to erroneous zone: First, media activity is amateur; second, media ethics and morals are disorder and no use. In the second chapter,"Government Information Public Rule"is explained fully. Through careful legal text analysis, overall characteristic and concrete conditions of laws and regulations will be comprehended. The overall characteristic can be summarized with a word that is"controllable publicity". The article explains the overall characteristic from the legal position, the information public's main orientation, and the information public characteristic and concrete plea all mean the explanation of the"controllable publicity". Therefore the rule's concrete pleas rely on three branches'analysis: selective of subjects; universality of the content and legality of main body, content, procedure. In the third chapter, government information public institution's influence upon media supervision has been analyzed. This influence upon media supervision may be discussed from macroscopic and microscopic, exterior and internal dimensions.Macroscopic dimension obtains historical environment and institution environment, and microscopic stratification focuses on practical concrete influence. Historical environment refers to information publicity's origin and development process at home and abroad. Institution environment refers to communication law system in which the rule should place oneself. The first two parts in the chapter try to analyze macroscopic influence from historical environment and institution environment, in order to understand clearly the position of the rule in historical and practical environments, and understand its influence upon media supervision. Then in first part, information public principle's origin and theoretic foundation, as well as their influence upon media supervision have been analyzed. In the second section the rule's influence upon media supervision institution environment is discussed. In the third section microscopic influence of the rule upon media supervision is analyzed. In fact, the first two parts involve also external environment influence upon media supervision;the last part involves internal adjustment to media supervision.The article is a forecast paper through reasoning. Research approaches include empirical analysis, historical comparison and institution theory.
