Media can perform better by using latest high-tech

Many traditional and social media outlets published articles on Feb 19 to highlight a speech delivered by General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Xi Jinping for the media a year ago. And their consensus on the speech is a testimony to the universal value of what Xi said.

In his speech for editors and reporters, Xi emphasized that the media must defend China's "territorial integrity" and urged the traditional media outlets to integrate with platforms based on smaller-screen technology.

The media played an important role in China's revolution, economic development and reform, and State leaders have worked out a series of theories for media operations. Xi's speech is a development of those theories, and can be seen as the leadership's response to the new challenges facing the media.
