Pro: Truth is the life of news, which is the basic essence of news. Although Chinese and foreign news theories have different definitions of "news", all news definitions are inseparable from the word "fact". "News is a report on recent facts", that is to say, facts are the source of news and the basis for determining the existence of news; News is only a report of facts, a description and portrait of objective things. Facts are primary, news is secondary, facts come first, and news reports come last. According to this basic understanding, all news reports must truthfully report the truth and objectively reflect the true colors of things. News is not news if it is not a fact that objectively exists in the material world, but a subjective imagination and fabrication of the reporter. Therefore, the truth of content is the basic condition for the existence of news, and it is also the most basic and important requirement for journalists and news media. Counterparty: The news is true and true, but there may be some discrepancies due to various reasons. For example, in some places, local leaders exaggerate the disaster situation for the sake of the masses, so as to attract the attention of superiors and allocate more disaster relief funds, while those who want to protect their political achievements will better report the disaster information. This figure comes from the local government, and the reporter reported according to the information provided by the government. Agree: Insisting on the authenticity of news is not only a matter of journalists' professional quality and ethics, but also an objective requirement of adhering to the correct orientation and improving the ability of public opinion guidance. Insisting on guiding people with correct public opinion is the fundamental task of socialist journalism and journalists. To accomplish this task, the most basic thing is to insist on the authenticity of news. This is an important guarantee to improve the guiding ability and correctly guide public opinion.
