American journalist Pulitzer once said that journalists are "watchmen" on the big ship of society, and the objects of observation are all kinds of things that are not conducive to the smooth sailing of this big ship. Crisis events are obstacles to social progress, and the responsibility of news media lies in environmental observation first. The environment here refers to a broad category, including not only the natural environment, but also the social, political, economic and cultural environment in which people live. The news media should have a long-term vision, be alert to the obstacles in social progress with a responsible attitude, rational logic and calm thinking, and remind the public to pay attention to the safe progress of escort ships.
The Pulitzer Prize is the prize that journalists all over the world dream of, and the Nobel Prize in journalism!
