Xinwenlian was established in 1996. In his speech, Li Jiachao affirmed the positive work of the News Federation over the years and said that over the past thirty years, the News Federation has led the industry to practice its original aspirations with actions, adhere to the professional ethics of journalism, enhance the dissemination power of news and public opinion, and shoulder the mission of the new era. He sent a message to the industry based on the three aspects of establishing oneself, establishing one's career and establishing one's family as mentioned in the ancient saying "At thirty".
The first is to "establish oneself". Li Jiachao expressed his hope that the industry will continue to create a clean and upright public opinion ecosystem, safeguard professional responsibility and commitment, fight against the unhealthy trend of using false and untrue information to attract traffic, and demonstrate the spirit of Hong Kong's professional media that advocates morality, kindness, self-respect and self-reliance. The second is to "establish a career". He hopes that the industry will continue to make good use of Hong Kong's highly international communication advantages, so that the international circle of friends can deepen their understanding of the endless opportunities brought by Hong Kong's "First Five-Year Plan" and see the most authentic good stories of China and Hong Kong. The third is to "build a family". He hopes that the press will use diversified and vivid reporting techniques, make good use of technology and new communication channels, so that the feelings of family and country can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making Hong Kong, our common home, more united and harmonious, and embody the mission of Hong Kong's professional media to love the country, love Hong Kong, and care about the country.
Li Dahong, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Journalists and chairman of Hong Kong Dagong Wenwei Media Group, said in his speech that next year will usher in the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This is not only an important milestone in the development history of the country and Hong Kong, but also an opportunity for the Hong Kong press to show off its talents. He hopes that media organizations and colleagues will exert their appeal and plan diversified activities to go deep into the community, mobilize all Hong Kong citizens to participate in the event, and spread joy throughout Hong Kong. On the other hand, he hopes that Hong Kong's news colleagues will work closely with the SAR government to give full play to their professional advantages, build social consensus, present Hong Kong's new look of unity and forge ahead to the world, and jointly promote various celebration activities to be a complete success.
