The Supreme Golden Eye - Chapter 252 The Right to Speech

"Oh, by the way, Shaonan, there is something I want to verify with you." After Du Shaoyan finished explaining what he was responsible for, Wei Shaoming was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yu Shaoling, who had been silent. And she

Her words also made the brothers feel a little strange. Although Yu Shaoling had the right to check the finances of all companies under Ling Shaonan, she was not responsible for the specific operation of a certain company, so they all looked at her strangely.

"Some time ago, I discovered that there was a cash flow of 20 million in the account of Lingtian Investment Fund, which was injected into a newly established Internet company in Yangcheng for more than a month in exchange for 75% of its equity. I felt very strange at the time, so I went

I asked Lu Xihang about it, and he said that you did it yourself.

Because I had a fax signed by you as evidence, I didn’t ask you again at that time. Now that you are back, I just want to tell you that the company was established just over a month ago. At that time, it only had a capital of several hundred thousand, and there was no profit in sight.

Is it necessary for Internet companies to invest so much?”

Yu Shaoling's question made Ling Shaonan hesitate. It wasn't that he didn't intend to disclose the reasons for doing so, but he was thinking about how to explain it. After all, although Internet high technology is now in the ascendant in developed countries such as the United States, in China

It is a completely new thing in China, and most people don’t know enough about it, let alone see its great development prospects.

"If it's inconvenient, forget it. Anyway, with your character, Shaonan, you shouldn't suffer." Yu Shaoling didn't have to know. Now seeing Ling Shaonan's hesitation, she shrugged and said this.

"It's not inconvenient." At this time, Ling Shaonan had already figured out how to express himself. After clearing his thoughts, he said: "However, the reason is more complicated. It is not just a simple investment issue, but involves

The issue of the right to speak at a higher level.

In contemporary social thought, discourse power refers to the ability to influence the direction of social development. They are basically in the hands of media controllers or people with economic power. These people generally have a respected status and control the media and other economic entities. They decide

What voices can the general public hear and what news can they get? At the same time, information they don’t want to spread can be blocked at the source!

In this sense, the right to speak has become a social ideological tool and the potential influence of information dissemination subjects on reality. For now, we generally think that we have mastered newspapers, magazines, radio and television, etc.

Those who use the channel for sending information have the right to speak. In foreign countries, those who have the right to speak are generally large media groups, while in China it is the relevant government departments responsible for publicity."

Yu Shaoling and others didn't understand. They were obviously talking about the Internet company in Yangcheng. How could Ling Shaonan bring up such an important issue as the right to speak? But they also knew that Ling Shaonan must have meant something by doing this. No.

It seemed like it was pointless, so I listened carefully.

"In this world, the right to speak has become an increasingly important right. Only those who have the right to speak can be regarded as truly powerful people. To obtain the right to speak, you need to pay a lot of price, or

You already have the power to make others bow and listen.

Although money cannot be the power that dominates everything. But in this troubled world, as long as you master huge wealth, not the kind of wealth that makes you rich, but the kind of wealth that can rival the country, you can survive.

He straightened his back and spoke loudly in front of everyone.

You must know that the leadership role of social groups is manifested in two forms, one is the form of rule, and the other is the form of spiritual and moral leadership. The former form is manifested as the superstructure of the state apparatus, and the latter form is

It is embodied as cultural leadership or voice.

All human knowledge is obtained through discourse. Nothing exists apart from discourse. The relationship between people and the world is a discourse relationship. Discourse means that a social group spreads its meaning into society according to certain conventions.

, the process of establishing its social status and being recognized by other groups.

Ideology is a set of interconnected assumptions and expectations supported by a person, a group or a culture, a set of ideas about how the world works, and a value system. It is different from a certain philosophical thought.

An ideology naturally becomes a plan of action.

The right to speak of the media refers to the potential real influence of the media on the audience. For example, during the Cold War, the East and the West also used radio waves to spread their own ideologies to compete with each other. Due to satellite technology

With the development of the world, Western ideology has been strengthened in the third world, resulting in the loss of local culture. However, the television media in developed countries cater to the requirements of the middle class in consumerist metropolises. The taste, interests, and fashion advocated by the media,

The lifestyle is all Westernized.

The external information transmitted by the media is controlled by certain people or groups, and some personal subjective tendencies inevitably seep into the information. UNESCO pointed out in its report "Many Voices, One World" that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization pointed out that

The agency sends 90,000 words a day from New York to Asia via the World Communications Service, and in turn

Asia only sends 20,000 words to the world every day. This principle is somewhat similar to export trade. Since the other party occupies an overwhelming majority, what you are dumping on the market is the other party’s views and values. When this

When such tendentious values ​​are disseminated to the audience, they play a practical role in the right to speak."

After saying so much in one breath, Ling Shaonan paused briefly and continued after seeing that everyone else was listening attentively.

"After saying so much, there is actually only one truth in it - speaking to others is a kind of power, and it is a very important power!

In our lives, power is still the least understood but most important aspect of human beings, especially in this era, because we are in a period of power transfer, and the world in front of us is being deconstructed and replaced by a completely

Different from the new power structure in the past, old forms of power are being redistributed according to new tracks among all levels of society.

What is happening in the news and communication world is that the old forms of power are being redistributed according to new tracks. After the emergence of the Internet, the power to control discourse that was originally exclusive to the news media is also quietly shifting. It is

The story of the many taking power from the few and helping each other for free. Not only did this change the world, it changed the way the world changed.

In this sense, the Internet is a large-scale social experiment, and like all experiments worth trying, it may fail. But this is an experiment with six billion people participating without a road map, and it is also an experiment that builds a new

The opportunity for international understanding is not between statesmen against politicians or great men against great men, but between citizens against citizens and individuals against individuals.

Here, a new concept is proposed - the fifth power.

First of all, we must understand that the fourth power is the expression of the status of news media in society in European and American Western societies. It refers to an independent social force besides the three powers of legislation, administration, and justice. Its social function is to supervise

Law, that is, public opinion supervision of the above three social powers to ensure the transparency of the operation of these three powers and the healthy operation of the social body.

In essence, no matter how this power of supervision is expressed, it is related to the independent social status of the news media. Without a special status independent of the three powers of legislation, administration, and justice, the implementation of supervision laws is an empty talk. And

The source of legitimacy for the news media to obtain this power is the idea of ​​press freedom. In this sense, the fourth power is press freedom.

The fifth kind of power refers to the right to speak on the Internet.

In recent years, with the rise of network communication technology and the expansion of public groups, a new form of media power that is different from the fourth power - the fifth power has also emerged and grown rapidly. The so-called fifth power

This kind of power refers to the right of public opinion relying on various online platforms relative to the fourth kind of power, or

The right to speak online. From the current point of view, this kind of power has just emerged, but from the perspective of the convenience and freedom of online information distribution, it will quickly mature and become more independent in media independence and public opinion supervision.

It plays a major role in supplementing the deficiencies of the fourth power, thereby promoting social progress.

Of course, since the Internet in China has just emerged, and a few websites only have simple content such as chat rooms, there is currently no clear understanding in the country about the right to speak online or the right of public opinion.

The term "five powers" actually just emerged from abroad.

For traditional news dissemination and public opinion supervision, the emergence of the fifth power is quietly undergoing a power transfer. To put it simply, the power of public opinion supervision that was only possessed by traditional news media in the past is moving to the Internet.

Public opinion or the right to speak online has quietly shifted.

If the fourth power is the son of press freedom, then the fifth power is the son of information freedom. Its nature of freedom is determined by its unique media characteristics of participation, expression and interaction by anyone, at any time and at any place.

of.

All in all, the situation in which newspapers, magazines and news release agencies dominate the world's public opinion and news discussions controlled by specific forces will eventually be broken due to the emergence of the Internet!"
