以網媒心態做通訊社 忘本抽火水搶新聞焉能不敗

最近城中一以眾籌起家的通訊社,因為質疑一名民主黨員被非法擄走的案件,一時風頭無兩。支持這位民主黨人的,不少懷疑曾是這通訊社的金主,有人繼續撐這通訊社,更多人表示這通訊社公信力「道行一朝喪」。

不少有定期產看本網臉書專頁的朋友,都會知道我對這通訊社沒有好感,甚至有朋友笑言,是否需要這麼兇狠。本來都不欲多言,但這個禮拜,這個媒體竟然就上述報導道歉,這個發展惹人疑竇,也覺得需要以平生所學,來評斷一下這個名為通訊社,卻大有點岳不群味道的一般網媒。

甚麼是通訊社?

首先,我們來回溯一下,甚麼是通訊社。綜合多本字典同百科全書定義,基本上是為直接面對公眾的媒體,在背後提供新聞資料的機構。通訊社不出版新聞,只會提供通稿給媒體或者直接給一些商業或公共機構訂戶。
