Perspective in the structure and function, the mass media as a subsystem of society plays an important role, and to inform the public of information is the most basic function of the mass media.In the definition of news, "recent reports of occurrence of the facts," points clear at the outset of the role of the media. Especially in the modern society, people living in the media society, the perception of external information and the search for truth are dependent on the media,media in the course of events, what role to play in the end,tend to obscure the truth in the process of the media itself is intentional, or the interference of external factors,what are the reasons that the media in realizing their own obstacles to basic social functions?this is the foucus of this analysis.From the perspective of risk society to take care of the three selected cases, the reason from the perspective of risk society is that contemporary Chinese society has entered a "high-risk society", was the political, economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields are full of risk factors. I selected the San Yuan "early doors" genuine dispute over the tomb of Cao Cao, Hefei "bamboo door" three cases,they have in common is recent, after the incident has aroused heated public concern,people need to know the ultimate truth of events, the mass media are also involved in the first time, I hope the facts presented to the people.with the development of the incident, but in the end it not only failed to show the truth, but more and more complicated and confusing;Another point is the same three cases are related to the fields of knowledge, as the news media as a reporter their own limitations of expertise, had to resort to experts, so experts in the three events occupy an important voice.This paper attempts to sort out the circumstances surrounding the three incidents, the use of content analysis, combined with the convenience of working conditions in the media.role as an observer of the media and how media practitioners involved in the incident itself, how to report incidents, Depth analysis of the role of media in which, when in truth become blurred in practice by the media coverage of what factors, external social factors, media factors on the media itself reflects the truth of what effect produced, which explore unclear why the truth is important.San Yuan "early doors" is the risk of food safety problems in society, the mass media involved in the incident, the objective truth of the incident to promote the show, but the risk society "risk" has its own characteristics, in the reporting process, the mass media, this Food safety has become a food safety problems reported Tomb of Cao Cao debate event, also has some features in the Risk Society, that the genuineness of the tomb of Cao Cao is a subjectively judged the process by archaeologists, historians, sociologists and other experts in stone through a system professional knowledge to determine, so the risk there itself,in this case, the conspiracy of the local media and experts, mutual advantage, the media become the mouthpiece of discourse of experts, the experts become a tool for the media to achieve a certain objective, third-party media follow the crowd, to give up their roles, leading to the final all the facts difficult to show.Hefei "bamboo stick" incident, the high-rise buildings Ye Hao, in which the component pad Ye Hao, is a product of modernization, the quality of their own finds a set of recognized standards, especially the pad there are no standard criteria to determine whether it affects building body overall structure of the mere one or two experts to be too abrupt a conclusion is clear, there is a risk in itself,news media the first time "the people petitioner", "bamboo instead of steel" is the title repeated newspapers, and the exposition of the two experts as the basis for exaggerating the dangers bamboo pads, caused public panic, have accused the non-Good developers and contractors, Hefei "bamboo door" from a rapid increase in local events as a national event, as it relates to the vital interests of the people about the quality of housing construction, the local propaganda departments to maintain social stability and the ground, up against the media reported this incident, created a hubbub in the bamboo stick pad to the end of a pass is issued, people hate unscrupulous builders, not as a Supervisor, but also accused the media of sensationalism. Combing through the understanding of the three events in the media as in the event, in Hefei, "bamboo door" in the media, prejudiced, "speculation" type of development to the final report, caused a public panic and affect social stability, local authorities had to intervene;ln San Yuan "early doors" in the media made with the evolution of food safety issues to the final report for the food safety issues;Cao Cao, a simple tomb in the old academic debate in the media became involved in acts of academic dishonesty with the dispute, without exception, to the last three events have caught blur, leaving the public is the endless questions.Why does it cause such a result, the media itself from the concept and operation to have problems with three case studies can be seen, these three events have a risk society "risk" the basic features of the presentation of the truth itself is very complex news media reports should follow some rules,and because the news media in the business context of the values of the deviation, which appears worthy of some of asked people to reflect on how to return to news itself and return to journalistic professionalism, we should be explored。...
