Graduate of undergraduate studies at the university in 2016, journalist at the shanghai station of the information centre, china news centre, for the new media. 19 years to date, i've been a journalist in the press group。

“one of the meanings of the media is to enhance communication between different groups so that much does not develop into a very disproportionate mass event. More generally, it is to dispel the ignorance that still exists in our societies.” gminning thinks that small-person stories can make us understand the other side of society。
The coverage of small figures may not be long, but it has been a very interesting news subject. My definition of the term “minor person” is that a person who suddenly appears in the public eye because of news events spilling over from his small circle, the idea of “a person like this in this world” emerges。
In the last two years, i've been doing a relatively interesting story about the "gentleman who wants to be kojie" who's going to learn massages, the woman who cried live after her husband died: can't end the "business" and the "seller rider, want to walk the front door." this year i'm more satisfied with my own "a net red dead alone with 300,000 fans," which is famous in shenyang and has been making very happy and exaggerating on the internet, but in private, it's a very depressing person who burys a lot of things in his heart, and it suddenly dies。

The media's interest in small-person stories has now diminished due to the issue of value for money. The media has become less inclined to do this because you need to reimburse at least three to four days for transportation, and spend three to four days on outside, interviewing, but the reports are silent and the traffic is not as good as the news that comes out in the afternoon。
The growing underreporting of small figures may also be relevant to the hierarchy of our societies. I'm more inclined to write stories about ordinary people than on rural topics. They are vague and unspoken and have less content in their interviews. At the same time, the interest of public opinion in these figures is decreasing. From the perspective of economics around us, we are all a little overstretched and we are no longer able to focus on public events, so every day we read the news about pay cuts on the road。
But writing small characters is a tradition in chinese news. Since the years when online media was not flourishing, we have continued to observe society in some big features. Individuals believe that there are very deep class barriers in a hierarchical society every year. And when public opinion rises, man weighs one against another, and when he sees another, he is deformed, twisted and demonized. But one of the implications of the media is to enhance communication between different groups so that much does not develop into an excessive public event. More generally, it is to dispel the ignorance that still exists in our societies。
It's not the kind of story you think you want to open people's mouths, it's the kind of story you want to do on the outside, the hard way to get through people, and it's the kind of person that happens to be the most interesting. The reason i went into the news industry was because it allowed me to see so many things that i had not seen before, to understand that there was a social dimension, and there were people in the world who acted not out of ordinary good or evil, but in ways of thinking。
When we pull ourselves out, we find that there are people in the world who are different from us. Unlike this, we can analyse and discuss through dialogue, and we will not feel so weak in this torn world. We do not have to be able to feel strength through grandstanding, vertically, but rather through dialogue to gain greater common strength beyond some differences。
We do news and we see a lot of different lives. And then it turns out that those that were going through for us might have been a small leap for others, and that there was another space outside, and nobody knew。
There'll be a lot of surprises, like another one of my stories. The story began with a documentary film by li yifan, a teacher at sichuan academy of fine arts, called "kill matt i love you " , about the killing of matt's teenager。
At the heart of this story is why killing matt's teenagers is so hard to dress themselves up as to what their mentality is. I went to interview li yifan, and he said that kids like to exaggerate and color. They moved from the village to the big city, and the most attractive eyeball was the color, so they piled it on them。
He told me that the little princess who killed matt no longer wanted to kill matt by opening a hairdressing shop in chongqing's house with her husband in the city and town. I thought it was fun, so i talked to her. She told me that she was an ethnic girl who had been tricked out by her family to work at the age of 12 and had not believed in love for a long time. But that's not true. The girl was in love at the beginning of her 20s, and she was going to break up, but she's been living together for 10 years, and life is so interesting。
So-called small-person stories are just a category in the news. Why is it worth writing? How? How do we find and determine what's on themPublicityWhat? It's a nasty question. Each has its own points to note in the selection of topics, interviews and writing。
Question stage: publicity in finding small people
Everyone is an asteroid, and they may be approaching a star of much larger mass, and it is only then that we may notice him. Journalists are watching hot spots every day, and for too long there will be a news sense, and in a sense our friends are digging for something in the same framework. First, it is important to focus on a larger topic before it becomes clear who has entered the region, and more specifically on the choice of this small person. We are looking for all sorts of unusual things in the ordinary, looking for people who are different from the events that are connected to them, things that are different in color in the world. It is still the moment when other people encounter themselves, specifically in terms of their choice, i. E. The choice of the person who is acting alone。
When looking for a choice, because the internet is now flooded with entertainment, we may need to spend more time with people in the industry. The relationship between people after the interview must not be lost, and attention should be paid to the circle of friends, to the praise of others, to the fact that a news topic is going to be passed on to our previous interviewers, to the question of his views, and to some of the downright media. While publicity is becoming more and more difficult to find, we can still look for small people by focusing on the climate. The two are like wings of birds。
How to interview: be an interesting person, have faith in yourself
The primary focus of the interview is still to be an interesting person with a common sense. In interviews, they really let themselves speak in other people's positions. The vast majority of people had no experience with interviews, which was an interesting thing for them. I'll set up a framework with them to explain why i'm interested in this, and we can discuss these issues in order to complete my work and to make the voices you want to make. It gives people a sense of security。
At the interview stage, you sometimes find that the question of the interview outline is not a problem, but don't get nervous at that time. It should be a surprise, which means you actually found an unexpected problem. Discovery is the real good news. In the interview, what we have to do is not open our hearts. First of all, it should be really curious about the behavior of others. We should not predetermine a big secret in someone's heart and become a defensive relationship. But at the same time, do not treat yourself as a tool to please others, which is another very dangerous situation。
Interviews are like squeezing. You probably know where the puss are, where it's painful, and you have to be confident that you'll be able to say "squeal out" in one sentence, and the interviewee will suddenly say a lot. Many times the subject of the interview is not unspoken, but your problem may not be what he wants to talk about. Total munars don't show up on the news, become news figures. There must be something different about our interview audience, something different from others, and it's hard. Even if he is not very capable of expressing himself, he must have been very emotional about it. All you have to do is find emotions and get to the point. Everyone has their own inner world. You comb it out on it。
My personal understanding of the outsider interviews is to keep in touch with those who can answer the questions, who can help us better understand the behaviour of the reporters. Relatives, friends, superiors, or enemies or opponents are very well interviewed. There is no good way to get the interviewer to agree to, or to show his sincerity and insist。
In doing this, i learned how to write it by riding an electric bottle, and i fell a scar on my knee, which has been written for more than six months, but it still hasn't. I was also riding the electric bottling car, and it's very difficult to find a navigational bias, and i asked what would happen to the outside rider, and he said that the system would point to the nearest route, but often did not comply with traffic rules. He had had problems with his heart before, but now he was opting out of the traffic rules because it was first to earn money. That's not what you think. That's the real life of others. That's what's worth reporting about. In any case, we should be fun people, not afraid to talk to people, not afraid to reveal ourselves。

I also noted the interviewee's claim that he could distinguish between natives and beating workers and asked him about it. He said that the locals always drive the best cars, and the workers ride the plaques, which are assembled in small shops. Even though i've been working for years, he still feels like he's been stabbed in the heart when he says that. There were many landmarks in beijing, and he was passing through every day, but for him the only difference was whether or not he could make it. When you're writing, you just need to list the facts you're interviewing. I think it'll be able to poke readers, people who don't know how to sell riders。
And when we do something about others, others want something about us. We should think about what others want, and then tell the interviewee that i know what you want and that we can work together. It's not that hard. The hard thing is to be day-to-day fixes — to be a really interesting person, not to be overwhelmed by a sense of anxiety or frustration. Those who believe that i am truly curious will be curious to me, and those who attract me will be attracted to me. We all have to have confidence in ourselves。
At the same time, i have insisted that i always train myself and ask questions i do not know. In disaster reporting, there's an all-powerful question: what's keeping you? What makes you not evacuate? Let us not ask why we are not leaving, we should ask more specific questions, and we have absolutely no idea what the answer is — what makes you risk your life in this house? I wrote a flood in shanxi, and building a house is the most important thing in life for rural people, so it's flooded, and it suddenly makes a lot of noise. Because it's a real problem。
I did an interview with a homeless person who was in a difficult position to obtain an identity card. It's really painful that a person does not have an identity card, and i first felt that pain, and the interviewee knew that i felt his pain, so that we can continue the interview. But it is not the pain, but the brightness of the pain, that this person has sacrificed in this world。
How to write: focus, without preset
In writing, we may encounter the problem of other details given by the interviewee overwhelming previously identified themes. But the vast majority of the characters reported can only explain why the character was doing that act. So we don't have to say everything about a person。
A lot of writers have problems with their literary talents. This will not only lead to uniformity, but also to the establishment or otherwise of the subject. Some articles are written on the weight of women's bodies, and they are built on their own, but not everyone's words and deeds have to reflect this, as if not every story written by a courier in a small area must be a systemic evil. The evil of the system is one side, but only by going to the interview will it be possible to discover the theme behind it. The reality is very complex and diverse, and we should not pre-empt it within a broad theme。
Q: how can we look for small people in the absence of stories about them and what they can dig for
A: first of all, there is no anxiety, and the paper is always difficult。
The second is keeping expectations, not because the whole internet is anxious, and we write anxiety. We need to keep looking, and we need to keep looking at things from another perspective. I have recently written an article on lee soon-hye, firstly because i have been focusing on this area for a long time, and secondly i have been waiting for a case where i can write about this. We wait until we get this chance。
Can you ask yourself a few questions: are every one of your primary school students in a very good college like you? What are they saying, what are they thinking? If you think your circle is too narrow, you have to break it. There are also issues of concern that await cases that reflect this。
Q: how do you really get to know these people? Through social media
A: the longer the news takes, the more the world feels that there are not so many ingenious interviewing skills or finding skills. I'm a journalist, and i'd love to interview you, compliment people, ask if i can do it. There are also friends, or a circle of friends, who knows people in a city. Or who knows a certain area of expertise. Some of the previously accumulated interview resources will be blown up。
And then there's someone who's interesting, who's still talking to his friends in life, who's interested in what they're doing, who's going to be my other friend, who's doing the job, or you two are going to know each other。
Q: how can you overcome an elite perspective when you're writing about a small person
A: it's a fear that you're very self-researching, very good. Writing per se is painful, because we know that there may be all kinds of deviations in the writing process, so we can just fix the problem and constantly correct our feelings: “is it my bias that i express?” if there is prejudice, you can fix it. With regard to the elite perspective, i feel that one or two more pages will be written, and that this will be smoothed by the work process。
I am pleased to know that those who have different roles in this society have their own wisdom. On the one hand, i think it would be nice if you made yourself clear. But on the other hand, our so-called elite is the people who have been to college. Aren't we the ones who have read? I'm thin, you're thin. We are all just the clumsy people living in the world. Nothing high down。
Q: how do you write around a theme without pre-positioning people, and how do you choose materials and manuscripts
A: we write around issues, not themes. The question means it's something you don't know, and the theme is something you already know, for example, labour, gender, environmental issues. We may take note of an individual out of concern about a subject, but when the story of that person is presented, the focus should be on the conflict between individuals. It's not possible to place someone entirely within a particular subject, so it's a big bug. We interview people about problems. Focusing first on phenomena through themes. Interviews and reports were all reports that answered very specific questions。
The other is the question of skills. We split the various materials we received, either in chronological order or for one reason, two reason, three reason. Or the two logics are coming together, in chronological order, but there are some techniques to insert or reverse them, highlighting some of the messages that we think are critical. It's just a question of article skills, which can be improved by reading more。
