Chen Jining pointed out that journalists have a glorious mission and great responsibility in the new journey of Chinese path to modernization. We must adhere to the principle of party spirit, implement political responsibilities, take a clear and firm stance on political direction, public opinion orientation, and value orientation, and make the Party's innovative theories and policy proposals the strongest voice of the times. We must practice the concept of a people's city, be close to reality, life, and the masses, and tell the stories of China, Shanghai, and the people with more good reports and works. We should strengthen confidence, gather people's hearts, warm people's hearts, and build unity, comprehensively improving the dissemination, guidance, influence, and credibility of news and public opinion. We should actively respond to technological changes, grasp the laws of all media communication, study hard, innovate well, transform our style and improve our writing style, and continuously enhance our foot, eye, brain, and pen skills. The Journalists Association is a bridge and link between the Party and the government to connect with the news industry. It should better fulfill its functions and strive to build a "journalist's home" that is well received by journalists. The party committees and governments at all levels in the city should give prominence to news and public opinion work, effectively care about the team of journalists, and promote greater progress in the party's news industry.
City leaders Zhao Jiaming, Li Zheng, Liu Duo, and Xiao Guiyu attended the meeting.
