“New Xingtan” has been adhering to Confucius’ “Harmony without Distinction” since its opening in May 2005，The spiritual tradition of “eclecticism”，Invited including American journalist Thomas Berner，German Sinologist Gu Bin，Many foreign experts including Japanese sinologist Teruo Tarumoto。Learned through Professor Geng’s introduction，David S. C. Professor Liu (Liu Shicheng) was born in Sichuan，After graduating from Tunghai University in Taiwan in 1963, he came to the United States and obtained two master's degrees，And began his 38-year career with the Associated Press in 1968，has been responsible for promoting AP’s coverage of non-English-speaking media and the Asia-Pacific region。At the same time，Since 1966 to present，Professor Liu has been responsible for the Asia-Pacific market development of the New York Times News Service。What deserves attention，Professor Liu also serves as a professor in the Journalism Department of Long Island University in the United States，Founded Bet365 gamesa Chinese and foreign magazine "Chinese and Foreign Forum"，David S from 2006 to 2007. C. Liu became a visiting scholar of the Fulbright Program in the United States and served as a jury member of the Polk Award, which is as famous as the Pulitzer Prize。Professor Liu’s media industry experience is evident，It’s not an exaggeration to call him a senior journalist。
In the American election, the media is changing the audience’s perception
Professor Liu used the change in political order caused by the change of US presidents over the past century as a clue，Details its interaction with the media in English，And this led to the elaboration of the concept of objectivity among media practitioners。"Although President Roosevelt was a polio patient，However, when the news media interviewed and reported on him, they rarely photographed his body below the waist。The media is unwilling to expose the fact that their president is paralyzed，Intentionally cover up。So it is easy to understand why ‘Fireside Chat’ can unite people’s hearts，The media played an important role in this。" Professor Liu explained。Similar to this，1918-1920，The news that President Wilson suffered a stroke and was bedridden has never been known to outsiders，The active cooperation of reporters is very crucial in this。
Residing in the United States for 43 years，Professor Liu is obviously very familiar with the intertwined relationship between US elections and the media。In his opinion，The elections in the United States over the years have been more or less closely related to variations in media presentation and representation。After humans first left footprints on the moon in 1968，Nixon became president from an "old man" who was once considered to have ended his political career，In the end, two unknown reporters disclosed the "Watergate Incident"，Nixon unexpectedly capsized，This kind of thing is not impossible to happen in the 21st century。
Martin Luther since his assassination，The world thinks it will be difficult for black people to enter bet365 live casino reviewino blackjackthe political stage again，But the facts that have appeared in American politics in recent years have repeatedly subverted this statement。Many incidents have proven that the American political arena is a typical "pendulum politics"，Nothing is impossible。“That’s the problem，Although there are many candidates in the 2008 general election，And pretty strong，Several strong candidates also actively used the media to expose their shortcomings，Because in an era of multi-faceted media, there is always a day of discovery，But there is no definite evidence yet to show who will definitely win。Therefore, there is an anxious state of competition between the two parties，Situations where a little-known candidate is introduced and ends up unexpectedly winning。”
“The unknown ‘dark horse’ is more likely to win the 2008 general election”
On the one hand in Europe，The public regards candidates’ marriage issues as personal issues，Ignore it；On the other hand，In the United States，Many media are obsessed with the private life of the president or candidates。Although the American media has changed in recent years，But there is a degree to the problem of the president appearing in front of the media，As for this degree, Professor Liu thinks it is constantly declining，Now "just change to the level that young people can endure"。”
Media in the U.S. Presidential Campaign，Although one should play the role of spectator，But it always affects the election more or less。This is Professor Liu talking about media、A core perspective on political interaction。A few years after Nixon stepped down in 1972，The U.S. political arena welcomes "Peanut President" Carter，He was a dark horse when he ran for the election，I like to use imaginary numbers in my mind as evidence when giving speeches，Probably not true，But in the media’s profile, he is very convincing in the eyes of the public。Same，President Reagan was once a famous actor，His performance in the media looks particularly glamorous，But he doesn’bet365 online sports betting mobilet agree with Carter’s casual approach。Clinton’s experience is even more legendary，When he was a student, he visited the White House and took photos with Kennedy during summer camp，90% of his election was due to his tall and handsome image。
"It can be seen from this，What angle should the President be photographed during news reports，It will largely determine his appearance when presented to the public。The relationship between news and the president is so clear。" Professor Liu said with emotion。
Questions about the 2008 US election，Professor Liu believes that its most outstanding feature is the large number of candidates，“The current majority of candidates do not have an absolute advantage，And there is more or less some kind of problem or shadow。”Therefore，He advised everyone present: Don’t just focus on the current competitors，It is entirely possible that a completely unknown "dark horse" will appear，And it’s very possible。“There was a candidate two months ago，He was nominated for his role as a character who is good at philosophical analysis in the hit movie，Everyone thinks he meets the standards of a US president。Actually，Every time the president changes, it involves the relocation of about 5,000 units or systems，So real estate developers love elections，The water, electricity and transportation involved are very willing，So the presidential election is a business activity，It's like a strange show，It’s like a performance on a stage play。"He commented on the US presidential election。“The candidate is not important，Historical experience is not important either，What is important is the development in the next two to three months，Maybe the real candidate will just emerge then。”He cited the Panorama interview with black candidate Barack Obama on the famous American news program “60 Minutes” as an example，Play short video live，Further explanation of the media’s stance on election issues。
Replace "judgment substitution" bet365 live casino gameswith a neutral view of news
On the issue of whether the West "demonizes" news related to China，Professor Liu Shicheng disagreed: "I also teach in the West，Meet some Western friends，I don’t think there is a big deviation in reporting in the West，It’s just that the reporting ideas are different。Western media people value presenting both sides of the facts to the audience at the same time，Let the audience make the judgment。For example, on the issue of increasing China’s military strength，On the one hand, Western media shows a common understanding，That is the China threat theory；At the same time, it also presents the view of some people that this is an 'act of self-defense'，Leave it to the audience to judge。”
Professor Liu also encourages everyone to have a developmental perspective when looking at the media，It depends on how far the media will develop in five years，For example, the development of animation，This cultural industry, which was originally developing rapidly abroad, has no OEM in China。University education and the attitude towards "intellectual property rights" need to be reflected on this。
“Journalists must put aside their personal prejudices”，Professor Liu warns everyone，"If you must think that a certain tendency will sway you，Then this opinion tendency will be reflected in all aspects of your reporting，Thus ‘judgment substitution’ occurs。In fact, there are many positive articles reporting on China in the West，Just not mentioned often。The West focuses on reporting facts，No personal judgment。Foreign reporters don’t believe it at all，The ‘South China Tiger Incident’ is related to local interests，The media must hold its pin steady，Stay objective。”
