Research On The Identity Of Editors In The Era Of Converged Media

The editing profession emerges with the division of labor in society.The editor's identity represents a series of symbols about the editor's self-knowledge and self-positioning,which is formed in the practice of social communication and strengthened in serving the society.Before the advent of the technological revolution,the editor formed a stable relatively identity in the social interaction with others,which is the unity of self-identity and social identity.The construction of editorial subject identity is the process of internal and external institutional discipline,the result of self-narration and reflection,and the expression of interaction with "important others ".System,self and " important others " are the three influencing factors of constructing editorial subject identity.It is in this stable identity that the editing subject seeks the significance of editing social practice activities,and finally realizes self-worth and realizes the unity of self-worth,collective value and social value.However,with the rapid change and deep influence of modern technology,the ecological picture of the media has been rewritten.The identity established by the editors in the past is gradually declining in the context of multiple changes and the new media ecology.Digitization and intelligent transformation reflect the real anxiety of the editors towards identity.In the new media ecology,the sidelining of the right to speak,the weakening of the sense of direction and the enhancement of the sense of anxiety have become the realistic representation of the identity crisis of the editor,which also means that the ontology security and trust of the editor subject are challenged.Tracing back to the source,excessive pursuit of instrumental rationality while downplaying value rationality,self-cognition and role expectations,conflicts between self-recognition and role expectations,and the gap between editing ideals and reality,and other internal entanglements and contradictions of editing subjects;technology-led media production methods bring "de-editing" "And"editing generalization";society's "dwarfing" and "irrational evaluation"of editors;the tension between popular culture and mainstream culture constitutes the four main causes of identity crisis.The internal and external confusion of the editing subject makes it precipitate in the internal and proud editing value,editing ideal and editing spirit are gradually diluted.The gradual fading of brilliance and glory not only makes the editors question and confuse their self-identity,but also has an impact on the editors' subjective consciousness,editorial career development,publishing industry growth and cultural heritage.The new media ecology also conceals the possibility of recreating identity,which provides a new thinking space for exploring the reconstruction of identity as a "person" editor and a person as an "editor".Of course,to resolve the crisis and reconstruct identity requires the joint efforts of self and society.Therefore,from the point of view of self-identity,the editorial subject can follow the following four paths:the reconstruction of identity,from the perspective of the editor,can follow the following four paths based on the development characteristics of the era of media integration: return to real life to strengthen self-cognition,improve cultural capital to maintain ontological security,form a community to seek emotional support,strengthen academic research to establish professional self-confidence;from the perspective of social identity,the government can create a good "institutional environment",the publishing industry can create a stable "work atmosphere",and the public can establish a reasonable "reference space".The editor's identity is guaranteed in the system,there is a sense of professional achievement,and a sense of dignity and honor in the society.
