Journalists on the frontline
在疫情面前展现媒体人的责任与担当。
"Idohopethatbywritingabouttheirstories,I’mhelpingthingschangeforthebetter.”LiXueqing,aChinaDailyjournalist,basedinNewYorkCity.
They’re neither medical workers in close contact with the novel coronavirus nor government officials who receive the latest updates of the situation – yet they’re keeping us informed of the development of the epidemic. They are the media, and their eyes are far-seeing.
Zhu Xingxin is one such member of the media: a photographer with China Daily. He visited Tongji Hospital affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan on Feb 3 to report on the lives of medical workers.
Before entering the isolation ward (隔离病房), Zhu had to put on protective gear (装备) like the doctors: a protective suit, a surgical mask, goggles (护目镜), disposable (一次性的) gloves and shoe covers. He described it as “stuffy (闷热的)” with all the layers on. “I felt anoxic (缺氧的) under the masks,” he wrote on China Daily. “So I lowered my voice and slowed down my motions, trying to make myself feel better.”
The eyes of the media are not just here to see, but also to scrutinize.
On Feb 9, for example, a bus in Wuhan carrying severely ill patients was caught in traffic with no one guiding them and no hospitals claiming them. The incident was witnessed by Global Times journalists and was soon reported online. It ended with all the patients being properly settled in hospitals and officials in charge being held responsible. But it’s possible that without journalists this incident would never have been exposed.
Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York City, is also aware of the media’s role as a watchdog (监督者). She wrote a story last month about a group of Wuhan University alumni (校友) in New York City who donated medical equipment to hospitals in Wuhan. She was impressed by how they managed to collect such a large amount of supplies and build an international shipping pathway in such a short time. Yet she was also disturbed by how all the complex (繁复的) paperwork and bureaucratic (官僚主义的) procedures added to their already heavy workload.
“I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better,” said Li.
Indeed, the media is like a pair of eyes watching out for us as they report on the world’s most important news.
