Media outlets fulfill social responsibility, report says
More than 300 media outlets in China have issued social responsibility reports this year, tripling the number in the previous year, according to the 2021 Media Outlets Social Responsibility Report released recently.
Media outlets, including State media and county-level media centers, fulfilled their responsibilities last year in publicizing policies and strategies of the Communist Party of China, especially in reports on major events such as the education of Party history, celebrating the centenary of the founding of the CPC and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
Journalists actively fulfilled the responsibilities and missions entrusted by the Party and the people, the report said. The news and public opinion work has presented a new atmosphere and made fresh achievements, creating a strong atmosphere for celebrating the centenary, it added.
Media outlets in 26 provinces reported their fulfillment of responsibilities last year in public services, cultural development, social security, protection of people's rights and interests, and in other perspectives, according to the report.
More than 160 outlets manifest their responsibilities in multimedia forms, demonstrating their achievements in media integration and making reports more readable and influential.
Journalism ethics committees will evaluate and score the reports issued by media outlets.
