As students of the Department of Communication, we have a course on the Marxist view of journalism. This is another political course that we, as the first-level subject of journalism and communication, must study in addition to the political courses such as Ma Yuanmao’s conception and repair. class. What is Marxism? What is the Marxist view of journalism? For those great people who wrote important works of Marxism, such as Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao Zedong, etc., we academia call them classic masters. The theoretical system of these masters' theories and concepts of news communication is Marxist journalism. view. It has to be a theoretical system, not a fragmented, sporadic experience of ideas.
The best learning is to find answers from history. The Marxist view of news is the general view of news phenomena and news dissemination activities summed up by Marx from practice, and it is the essence, origin and dissemination law of news.
In early 1842, he wrote his first political essay, "A Commentary on the Recent Prussian Censorship," which focused on attacking the Prussian feudal system and its cultural despotism. In the same year he wrote another "debate of the 6th Rhine Provincial Assembly (the first paper)", and put forward the point of view of "the people's nature of free publication". In December 1842, Prussia banned the "Leipzig General Report". Marx wrote seven articles on this matter, in which he clearly put forward the idea of "People's Press". Since then, the "principle of people's nature", which is an important content in the Marxist view of journalism, "proletarian journalism is responsible to the people" has initially taken shape. At the same time, he also proposed that the best way to explore truth is to "speak in the language of things themselves to express the essential characteristics of things".
In 1849, in the prospectus for the founding of the "Neue Rheinische Zeitung Political Economy", Marx had already realized the "mouthpiece" role of the news media. The bourgeoisie has its own mouthpiece, and so does the proletariat, and the mouthpiece of the proletariat represents the interests of the wider toiling masses and the interests of the majority.
Looking at these historical materials, the formation of the Marxist view of journalism is gradually clear in the process, and the target it points to is also gradually clear. The essence of the Marxist view of journalism is: news propaganda must be highly consistent with the party, which is the principle of party nature; news propaganda must serve the people wholeheartedly, which is the principle of people's nature; news propaganda must adhere to the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, which is the principle of authenticity .
Like the ideas expressed in this film, in order to complete the "Communist Manifesto", or to complete the establishment of any kind of theoretical thought, it is necessary to cross countless mountains and valleys. As students of journalism and communication, our mission is arduous. Under the experience of predecessors' practice and historical lessons, we have theoretical and institutional advantages. Marxism and Marxist news outlook are our theoretical guidance. We will definitely live up to our mission in the new era and complete the tasks entrusted to us by the era.
