Quick Look

國際人權組織「保護衛士」訪問8名前CGTN外籍員工,揭露中共如何透過層層審查與自我審查控制新聞內容,並曝光2019年英國駐香港領事館前僱員鄭文傑被拘留後「電視認罪」的內幕,前編輯坦言處理該報導感到羞恥。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

中國環球電視網(CGTN)為中央電視台旗下國際新聞頻道,對外宣傳中國形象。習近平2016年視察央視時提出「黨媒姓黨」要求,官媒審查自此收緊。

國際人權組織「保護衛士」(Safeguard Defenders)10日公布報告,訪問8名前中國環球電視網(CGTN)外籍員工,揭露中共如何透過層層審查與自我審查控制新聞內容。更曝光2019年前英國駐香港領事館前僱員鄭文傑「電視認罪」內幕,一名前編輯坦言,對於自己曾處理相關報導感到「羞恥」。

報告 指出,CGTN雖以國際新聞頻道自居,實際上從選題、稿件、字幕,甚至主播提問都受到嚴格控制。習近平2016年視察央視等官媒、要求「黨媒姓黨」後,審查明顯收緊,節目也不再以國際新聞為主要方向,而是增加政府活動及「習近平思想」等內容。一名前員工透露,涉及習近平、中國政府及政策的新聞,播出前必須做到「完美無誤」,有時一節新聞多達四分之三內容與習近平有關。

前編輯透露,外籍員工編稿時會有中國籍「老師」把關政治要求,主播不得脫稿,也不能自行調整採訪問題或字幕,即使現場情況與預設內容不符,也不能擅自更動。

請繼續往下閱讀...

報告特別揭露鄭文傑事件。鄭文傑曾為英國政府工作近2年,2019年8月在深圳遭拘留15天。鄭其後向英國廣播公司(BBC)表示,自己在被拘留期間曾遭毆打、酷刑及「強迫電視認罪」。CGTN隨即播出他的認罪片段,反駁相關指控,並稱他因「嫖娼」違反治安管理規定遭行政拘留。

一名曾處理該新聞的前編輯形容,這是自己「編過最糟糕的稿子」,透露相關稿件在開播前約半小時才突然送到編輯部,且上級已下令「必須播出」,「如果部門主管拒絕,那她就惹大麻煩了。」

多名前員工還提到,在任職期間,自己的電話及社群活動或受到監控;在CGTN澳籍主播成蕾2020年遭中國拘捕後,更讓他們意識到自身面臨的風險。

報告認為,外部審查與員工自我審查已共同形成CGTN的內容控制體系,政治宣傳凌駕新聞價值。
