Why do the melons on the Internet become tasteless after eating? It’s time to tell the public about media literacy

Let me talk about three recent very hot "melons" on the Internet:

One is the Wu Yifan incident that has cooled somewhat. At the beginning, everyone was brave enough to stand up and challenge the "amateur" Ms. Du Mozhu who was treated coldly and violently by Kris Wu. Later, it was proved that Ms. Du's Internet essay was ghostwriter, and there were third-party blackmailers in the incident. One of

is a female employee of Ali who reportedly went to Jinan on a business trip and was suspected of being raped by a male boss by drinking alcohol. The investigation results given by the Jinan police later showed that the facts differed greatly from what the female employees said.

One is the incident of "Huo Zun was exposed by ex-girlfriend Chen to cheat and eat soft food and his life was corrupted". The heroine's self-description and screenshots of WeChat group chats appeared to be "there are pictures and the truth." Huo Zun was forced to announce his withdrawal from entertainment. Circle. Soon, someone interviewed Huo Zun and produced evidence that was inconsistent with Chen's statement. The three things

, ​​involving celebrities and Internet giants, sex (male and female relations), and money, once broke out, quickly became "popular", "people who eat melons" contributed a lot of traffic.

Later, as information continued to be supplemented, this melon changed its flavor after eating. Three things "unexpectedly" appeared in more angles and details-it turns out that there is no "perfect" on the Internet. Victims, of course, we have no reason to require victims to be "perfect", this is common sense.

The reason why I use the word "unexpected" is because when most of the hot events on the Internet broke out, they may not be the whole truth of the incident. The creator of the information purposefully hides a lot of unknown background. And facts. The more explosive incidents seem, the more likely there is a "reversal". This is a characteristic of the Internet era. Some people call it "the post-truth era", and the truth always lags behind.

In an era where "everyone has a microphone and everyone is a media" social media is popular, it's time to talk to the public about "media literacy".

What is media literacy? , as the name implies, the qualities and abilities we have shown in the media. In professional terms: media literacy refers to the ability of people to choose, question, understand, evaluate, create and produce, and think and react when they face various types of information in different media. The salient feature of

social media is "decentralization" and "the booming development of self-media." This era empowers everyone with the opportunity to express their opinions. This shows that everyone speaks with their own position and motivation, and information is Spread in fragmented ways, the truth is often obscured. As the public, what you see is not necessarily the truth, and what you think is not necessarily what you think.

Previously, the channels for people to obtain information were professional official media, where a small number of media people collected and edited news and disseminated it to the masses of most people.

Media people have professional requirements for journalism, such as the above three news, the media people will interview the "prosecution and defense", will consider the opportunity to speak to everyone in the incident, and will deliberately prevent bias, and present it to the public as complete as possible The truth. You will not see in a reporter's manuscript that only the "victim" is talking, and it is difficult for the public to be deceived and biased.

The news we can see is always well protected by professional media workers who "speak with facts".

Different eras have different requirements for people living in this era. Today, each of us is a "media citizen", and information is everywhere like air. No one installs an "air purifier" for you. You need to improve your media literacy yourself.

By our side, there are very few citizens who are truly media literate. Due to the lack of public media literacy, a large number of false information harvests the flow of ignorant people who eat melons, as evidenced by the fake news and pseudo-scientific posts in the circle of parents.

Due to the lack of media literacy, we often underestimate the "evil" of the Internet. At , we are not only harvested as traffic, but our personal information and what we have said are running naked on the Internet, and the danger is looming.

Therefore, the improvement of public media literacy has become a shortcoming that needs to be made up urgently in this era. Otherwise, each of us can only be like a broiler, led by the bait on the Internet, we will eat whatever the Internet feeds us. What, the consequences are extremely scary.

the light one, weBecome the people who eat melons and become the traffic data of others; the heavy ones may become refugees on the Internet and become homeless. Let your brain become a racetrack for others’ information and ideas, and become the target of Internet harvesters’ marketing.

from top flow to suspected rape, who handcuffed Wu Yifan?

"I was fired by the machine". If you think carefully about this, you will be undefeated
