Accurate information and calm analysis media's duty

BEIJING - The results of a survey conducted for the Seventh Beijing-Tokyo Forum in both nations show that the overwhelming majority of people in China and Japan have never visited the other country, and they rely on news reports to learn about each other.

"The media have the duty to guide people's focus," said Yu Guoming, associate dean of the School of Journalism and Communication at Renmin University of China.

"Reports concentrating only part of a situation will only generate misunderstandings among the public," Yu added.
