During the status of the core area of ​​the China Eastern Airlines MU5735 crash, the reporter of the People's Daily choked on the scene and went on Weibo to search for the public.

When the former Prime Minister Abe was assassinated and died, a special reporter from a media couldn't help crying and also on Weibo, but caused controversy.

Why also choke and tears, why cause a different response to the public? Can reporters choose, tears, and express their emotions during an interview? When can it be expressed? When can I not express it? How to control the degree of expression?

In mid -August, the Media Tea Society talks about the Chinese Women's Daily reporter Xu Xu, the senior reporter Ma Jun, a senior reporter of the Beijing News, and the reporter of the "Urban Scene" of Jiangxi Radio and Television.

Facing the disaster and sudden situation, the reporter will cry

As a reporter, can you express your emotions during an interview? Do you have to be rational and not tolerated?

"People are not plants, and they can be ruthless. The reporter is also a person. When encountering the characters, details, or scenes who directly poke the inner heart, it is difficult to move." Said Haru, a reporter from Jiangxi Radio and Television, "Urban Live".

As an old journalist at the news scene for 18 years, Sister Ha also faced the question of how to regulate emotions.

At that time, a couple had a conflict with the quarrel. The husband couldn't think of it for a while. He rushed into the child's bedroom with the gas tank and ignited the gas, and the tragedy happened. Due to serious injuries, the husband died of invalidation due to rescue the next day. Although the child survived, he was severely burned.

"Entering the ward and seeing the child's injury, I burst into tears." Sister Ha herself was a mother. When she saw a child wrapped in gauze, Sister Ha's heart was stabbed by needle, tears were in the eyes, and tears were on my eyes on my eyes. Can't help but turn around. However, the identity of the reporter reminds her that she must control her emotions. She understands that if she cry in front of the child, it is likely to bring the child's emotional pressure and cause secondary damage.

It is said that the man had no tears and did not bounce lightly. Ma Jun, a senior reporter of the Beijing News who went to the front line all year round, also burst into tears.

In March 2020, a forest fire occurred in Mili County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan, causing 31 people to be killed, including 27 firefighters, the smallest is the "post -00s".

"When reporting the forest fire in Muli County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan, I heard the firefighters say that they were saving the fire, and I cried at that time."

In Ma Jun's live headphones, the guide has been reminding "Teacher Ma to control emotions."

"I usually deal with firefighters, and they are too hard to go in the wind. So in the face of such heavy casualties, I am really sad to suppress themselves." Ma Jun thought that even if he cried miserable, he thought at that moment. Expressing, the public can feel it.

In addition to sudden disaster news, reporters are still easy to move when they encounter moving people and things.

A few months after the 8.1 earthquake in Nepal in 2015, Xu Xu, a reporter from the Chinese Women's Daily, followed the interview group to report a pair of border soldiers, Feng Yuchen and Zhu Zhimin. Feng Yuchen is a political instructor at the Nunra Border Inspection Station. Zhu Zhimin is the director of the New Border Police Station of the Nagato Border Defense Detachment. The two are 9 kilometers apart, but they are hard to see the previous one month.

After the Nepalese earthquake, the two devoted themselves to the earthquake -resistant rescue work. Among them, her husband Zhu Zhimin helped the people in the village to grab the things that they could use and rescued the living livestock.

When Xu Xu asked, "When did you see him the last time?" Feng Yuchen said it was a road to transport the wounded in the town. At that time, Feng Yuchen saw a figure on the road, and always felt that he had seen it. When the man came to follow, she discovered that the man who hadn't taken a bath for more than 40 days, and the beard pulled the same as "black coal balls" was his husband, and Feng Yuchen froze and rushed up. After the two urged each other to be careful, they quickly separated.

Xu Xu recalled that when he listened to Feng Yuchen's described scenes blandly, he learned that the border couples were scattered in three places because of the station. I was touched.

"At that interview, I was very uncomfortable, for fear of affecting the interviews of the surrounding colleagues, and I kept holding myself to hold back." Xu Xu said that he was moved by the border guard's dedication and kept his emotions until he wrote the draft at night. Time cried, "I wrote while crying, and used a full box of paper towels."

The four major scenes need to be alert to emotional expression

In fact, during an interview with the reporter, the reporter will face different scenes and be stimulated by the words and emotions of different interview objects. Sometimes they will cry out of the same mind and tears; sometimes they will see a lot of cruelty and destruction. After the scene, "alternative trauma" that exceeded psychological and emotional patience and tears due to pain and uncomfortableness. However, some scenarios must be alert to emotional expression. Once improper expression, it is very easy to cause controversy.

1. Research News

Taking the former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's assassination, a special media reporter's emotional expression was an example. When it involved major current political news, before expressing emotions, the reporter first considered the position and attitude of the media represented, and the audience faced.

Expressing their emotions in an unreasonable occasion on a sensitive occasion will not only hurt the audience's emotions, affect the public's favorability of the media, but also cause public opinion storms, especially when the public has a greater view of news or characters in news events or characters. Essence

2. Reports involved in criminal suspects

In reports involving suspects, reporters should adhere to objective and rational reports, and strive to present the truth of the incident to the public. It should not be mixed in news reports in news reports, and it is not suitable for expressing emotions and criticism of criminal suspects. It is not possible to show compassion and sympathy for the tragic experience of the suspect. 3. Reports involved in the parties in the dispute

When the reporter runs the people's livelihood news, it is easy to encounter disputes. When the parties in the interviewed dispute, the reporter should maintain a rational and calm mind, and cannot blame and criticize the other party because of sympathy for weak sympathy. This will affect the public's correct awareness of news events, and it will also have a negative impact on the other party.

Fourth, report on special respondents in the news of disaster news

Although in the emergency report, the reporter shows that sad emotions will be affectionate with the public, pay attention to whether emotional expression will put pressure on the respondents. For example, when the reporter interviewed the survivor in the earthquake, if the other party was still in a fragile state, the reporter should not be too sad in front of the other side, let the respondents think of the tragic scene again and follow the emotional out of control.

Three points to help you regulate your emotions

Reporters are easy to choke and tears when reporting on the spot, but pay attention to the degree of emotional expression. Especially in the new media era, once reporters' personal emotions were not grasped, they were magnified by the camera and misunderstood by the audience, which can easily cause controversy.

How should the reporter regulate when choking and crying? Three reporters made the following three suggestions:

1. I can choke and tears, but I can't cry

Although the news emphasizes objective and rational reports, the emotions of the reporter in moderation can enhance the audience's perception and capture the image facts in the news event in a timely manner.

For example, when the epidemic outbreak in 2020, when reporters who reported to the front line of Wuhan, when interviewed medical staff, they cried, they exchanged the interview objects and audiences, so that people under the epidemic had a community of destiny.

However, it should be noted that the reporter choked and tears should be moderate, and try his best to be free. Moderate choking and tears will make the interview target feel that the reporter listens and understands it carefully, and will be willing to continue to speak. If the number is crying and unable to accept it, it will not only put pressure on the interview object, but also destroy a difficult interview.

2. Try to change the lens or topic and divert attention

Some reporters are difficult to control the sadness when facing the impactful scene. If the reporter cannot accept the emotions in time, on the one hand, he can give the anchor or guide first, cut the camera back to the studio, and on the other hand, you can also try to jump to the next topic, transfer attention, and let the interview go.

Third, make mistakes, explain and frankly explain in a timely manner

When reported on -site errors due to emotional out of control, the first reaction of some reporters was to cover up. In this regard, Ma Jun believes that in a timely manner to explain in a timely manner, he can get the understanding of the audience. Because the video of the appearance is like a magnifying glass, the more mistakes the reporters are, the more clear the audience can see.

Generally speaking, the reporter, as a pair of "eyes" to the scene, needs to report the news stories of flesh and blood at the scene, so that the public can resonate with emotion. Essence
