Tears filled my eyes as I watched it, as if my childhood dream was reflected by history, I couldn't open my eyes, but I felt very bright in my heart.
When I was 30 years old, I can still remember my news dream when I was 20 years old, although it is ridiculous that I did not do news the next day, and the current news industry has completely changed its face.
Putting aside the political value of freedom of the press, the rationale behind why the development of commerce and the Internet has made journalism what it is (whether in China or in the West) is worth pondering. Over the years, all kinds of idealistic spirits that have existed in the past have become powerless in the face of efficiency, and most of them are only worth lamenting.
Efficiency itself is not right or wrong. Efficiency is essentially a law, and the law has no value. Therefore, the result of its evolution is likely to run counter to the mainstream values. And values are right and wrong.
Does the world need to assign values to right and wrong? I tend to think that it is necessary. Reasonable and correct are two different things. From a social perspective, the essence of correct values is the rules that allow mankind to continue better. There may be a question here, why do rules and laws deviate from each other, I think it is because rules and social laws interact with each other. For example, the law is that human nature is good at being incited, especially in the case of extreme events. Therefore, dictatorship and populism are prone to appear in extreme environments, which will lead to war. This is the law of logic itself, and there is no good or bad in it; however, we can Understanding the evil of war is because war seriously threatens the foundation of human existence. Therefore, we need to check and balance it through anti-war values. Even in extreme environments, we should try our best to avoid war through correct public opinion guidance.
In fact, to put it a little bit bigger, this is the struggle of human beings with the laws of society. Although it is difficult, it is necessary. This kind of struggle is not about manipulating the arm, but understanding the law and using the law to make things develop in the direction we want. This in itself is a kind of human idealism.
From this point of view, in the environment 50-60 years ago, relying on the press and publication of elites was an effective way for human beings to fight against the law, but in today's Internet environment, this way of fighting has collectively failed, but I still Not seeing a more effective way to appear, idealism is not extinct, just lack of tools, and many people are addicted to idealism itself.
It's too far, but still thanks for this movie, 2 hours is very worthwhile, and some new truths have been thought out. The pivotal moments in history are worth remembering and rereading. These pivotal moments are an excellent input into our understanding of what is going on in the present moment, and a light that illuminates your flow.
