Research On "Satellite Release" In Jiangsu Province In "Xinhua Daily"

In the summer of 1958,"launch satellite" began to appear in China,and spread rapidly across the country.At that time,newspapers were the main place to display the achievements of "launch satellite",and the reports about "launch satellite" appeared frequently in newspapers.As an organ of Jiangsu provincial Party committee,Xinhua Daily has paid continuous attention to and reported on the phenomenon of "launch satellite" in many places in the country,especially on the situation of "launch satellite" in Jiangsu Province,which can be said to be the recorder,agitator and participant of "launch satellite" in Jiangsu Province.Xinhua Daily's report on Jiangsu Province's "launch satellite" went through two stages.June 8-26,1958,which is the early stage of propaganda and mobilization.At this stage,Xinhua Daily encouraged and mobilized Jiangsu Province to "launch satellite" by reporting the situation of other provinces and cities across the country,and its reporting object is the situation of other provinces and cities in the country.From June 27 to the end of December,it is the formal reporting stage in the later period.In this stage,Xinhua Daily mainly reports the "launch satellite" in Jiangsu Province,using various reporting methods to report the "launch satellite" in many fields,such as agriculture,industry,science,education,culture and health,highlighting the achievements of "launch satellite" in Jiangsu Province,and to mobilize the "launch satellite" in Jiangsu province more extensively and deeply."Launch satellite" in Jiangsu Province,reported by Xinhua Daily,first appeared in the field of agriculture,and gradually spread to the fields of industry,science,education,culture and health,and finally formed a situation of "launch satellite" focusing on industry and agriculture,covering multiple fields.In the field of agriculture,"launch satellite" mainly focuses on crop production,and a small part of it focuses on agricultural activities;in the field of industry,"launch satellite" mainly focuses on the production of steel and machinery,and other industrial sectors have also released some "satellites";in the field of science,"launch satellite" mainly focuses on scientific research achievements and speed;in the field of education,"launch satellite" is mainly reflected in the literacy movement and school running movement;in the field of culture and art,there are many kinds of "satellites" such asart,song and dance,literary and artistic creation,etc;in the field of health,"launch satellite" mainly focuses on the prevention and control of schistosomiasis and the elimination of five pests.In general,throughout the "great leap forward" period,Xinhua Daily presented a complete and clear picture of Jiangsu Province's "launch satellite" through reports,comments and other forms,however,influenced by the wrong policy of the "great leap forward" movement,Xinhua Daily failed to perform its due function of public opinion supervision,and contributed to the further development of the "launch satellite" movement in Jiangsu Province in varying degrees.
