Explore every possibility for better journalism
“新闻已死”
“流量为王”
“媒体不可信”
“人人都有麦克风”
“人工智能颠覆新闻业”
......
时代巨浪席卷而来,唱衰新闻业的论调甚嚣尘上
——“新闻业还有未来吗?”
——“有!但需要不懈探索和大胆试错。”
我们的回答坚定而赤忱。
Newstopia
一个有洞察力、思考力、判断力、想象力的
年轻团队
我们来自大中华区的五湖四海
因为对新闻共同的热爱与追求
相聚在香港中文大学新闻与传播学院
✘我们不是象牙塔中的大梦想家
✔我们是脚踏实地的新闻理想践行者
✘我们不做新闻未来的指南针
✔我们是在风暴中前行的“新闻方舟”修补匠
是在暗流中摸索前进的航海家
✘我们不沉湎于怀旧叙事
✔我们观察现状、连接未来
我们探索的,是你我共同创造,拥有无限可能的未来;
是哪怕在社会共识分崩离析、生态可持续性与人类底线频频被挑战的此刻,通过共同努力,依然可以弥合认知差异、帮助人类达成理解与共识的未来。
新闻服务于社会公众。探索新闻业的未来,不应该“关起门”来自造高塔楼阁。此刻汇聚于香港中文大学的我们,今后便会走入全球新闻行业的枝桠脉络。而此刻,我们以Newstopia为起点,开始我们探索新闻业命运的航程。在我们眼中——
“行业”不是工业时代的分类标签
而是人的集合
“新闻”不是机械的信息传递
而是帮助人们沟通彼此、理解世界的最重要桥梁
“新闻人”不是可被AI替代的工具
而是可以用独立价值观驾驭先进生产力的骑士
“人”不是可被科技进步异化的哺乳类动物
而是将因为思考力、自尊与爱
而持续有意义存在的鲜活生命
除此之外,我们还将开设两个固定栏目:
为了保证账号内容质量,我们搭建了分工明确、力求专业化的编辑室:
●两位主编(Chief Editor),在每周选题会上,为读者精选每周内容话题;
●事实核查员(Fact-checker),复核审查每一篇稿件,确保信息的准确性;
●视觉设计(Designer),让每一条内容有最佳视觉呈现效果;
●增长编辑(Growth Editor),针对不同社交媒体平台特点进行个性化运营。
●我们的出版人是香港中文大学新闻与传播学院助理教授方可成,他会制定与把关我们的内容方向。
追新潮,探未闻。Newstopia 是身为青年新闻人的我们,为自己、为彼此所点的希望之灯。我们立于当代新闻业的发展潮头,致力于探索未来新闻业的“N”种可能;我们坚信新闻有未来,哪怕逆流,哪怕船破,我们依然执灯前行,为我们所共同信仰的新闻价值观立命立心。
“News is dead!”
“Traffic is everything!”
“Media can't be trusted!”
“Everyone has a microphone!”
“AI will turn journalism upside down!”
.......
The tidal wave of the times is sweeping in, and the doomsayers' rhetoric for journalism is in full swing.
——'So, does journalism still have a future?'
——'Yes! But it requires relentless exploration and bold trial-and-error.'
Our answer is firm and sincere.
We are Newstopia
A team of insightful, thoughtful, critical, and imaginative journalists from the emerging generation.
With diverse backgrounds from the Greater China area, we have gathered at the School of Journalism and Communication of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) with a common passion and pursuit of journalism.
We are not dreamers in an ivory tower but down-to-earth practitioners of journalistic ideals.
We don't intend to be the compass of the future of journalism; rather, we see ourselves as repairers of the storm-battered 'news ark' and navigators forging a path forward in the undercurrents.
We don't indulge in nostalgic narratives; instead, we observe the status quo and firmly embrace the future.
'You say you see a future. So what kind of future is that?”
'It's a future with infinite possibilities. It's a future where, despite the collapse of globalization consensus, ecological sustainability, and many other social norms, it is still possible for humans to reach mutual understanding through our efforts.”
Set sail!For the future of journalism
Gathered here at CUHK, we will soon join the global journalism community. Starting with Newstopia, we embark on a voyage of discovery for the future of journalism with these beliefs:
'Industry' is not an industrial-era categorization label, but a collection of genius individuals with real voices.
'Journalism' is not merely the mechanical transmission of information, but the most crucial bridge to help people communicate with each other and understand the world.
'Journalist' is not a tool that can be replaced by AI, but a knight who can harness superior productivity with independent values.
'Humans' are not mammals that can be alienated by technological progress, but living creatures that will continue to exist meaningfully because of their thinking capacity, self-esteem, and love.
By providing independent and critical examinations, we shed light on the industry's major innovative cases and observe how the various roles in the news industry are making breakthroughs.
Newstopia, just born, has opened accounts on all major social media outlets. In the upcoming voyage, we will report daily on the most important issues at the intersection of 'journalism' and the 'future,' covering topics including but not limited to business, technology innovation, and society.
This column takes readers to the streets to learn about the media preferences of strangers and listen to ordinary people's thoughts and expectations of tomorrow’s journalism.
This column provides weekly briefings on what's hot and what's new in the news industry over the past week. We especially focus on the development of innovation in the industry, including the application of cutting-edge technology, business model innovation, and new forms of news products.
Our editorial office
To ensure the quality of our content, we have built an editorial office with a clear division and a commitment to professionalism. Our team includes:
●Two Chief Editors who carefully select weekly content at topic selection meetings.
●A Fact-checker who examines every article to ensure the accuracy of information.
●A Designer who strives for the best visual presentation of every piece of content.
●A Growth Editor who tailors the management of different social media platforms.
●Our Publisher, Kecheng Fang, an assistant professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at CUHK, will guide the direction of Newstopia along the way.
Standing at the forefront of today's journalism industry, we strive to explore the endless possibilities of tomorrow and ignite a fire for each other through Newstopia.
So, to reiterate our answer:
'Yes, we firmly believe that there is a future for journalism.”
Even if the tide is against us and our ark is somewhat broken, we will still carry the fire forward. With care and determination, we remain forever committed to the journalistic values that we hold dear.
