Overseas Network Beijing, December 17 - On December 16, at the 2023 China Economic Integration and Development Exchange Conference, the list of 2023 "Night Shift Assistance Projects" was officially announced, and a total of 76 applicants received assistance, with a total of 1.75 million yuan in aid. It is worth noting that more than half of the aid list are cancer and other cancer patients.
More care: The number of people and the total amount of assistance are higher than in previous years.
Compared with previous years, the application conditions for the 2023 "Night Shift Assistance Program" have been further relaxed, and the assistance objects are no longer limited to editors on night duty all year round, the assistance conditions are no longer limited to 28 major diseases, and the date of illness of the applicant has also been relaxed from one year to three years.
With the relaxation of application requirements, a total of 100 applications were received for the 2023 "Night Shift Assistance Project", which came from 64 journalists, local and industry. The expert review committee determined that a total of 76 people met the application conditions in 2023.
It is understood that the "Night Shift Assistance Project" was born on December 26, 2020, jointly initiated by the Media Tea Party, China Economic Media Association, China Guanghua Science and Technology Association, Shanghai Yanshan Science and Technology Co., Ltd., etc., and strongly supported by caring institutions such as Shanghai Yanhua Public Welfare Association and Aier Ophthalmology.
At the 2023 China Economic Integration and Development Exchange Conference, Lin Ye, deputy editor-in-chief of the operation department of the Beijing News app, said: "I would like to sincerely thank the night shift ** people assistance project, which intimately escorts the social responsibility of the first people, and at the same time brings a great spiritual comfort to those of us who have been sticking to the news post for many years." ”
"General Hub" and "Gatekeeper": As the years go by, the responsibility and love remain the same.
Reversal of the biological clock, overwork, etc. are the normal life of people on night shifts, so there are many cases of serious illness.
Among the 2023 Chinese New Year's Eve class ** people assistance recipients, Ding Hongsheng, editor of Chutian *** Rong ** Center, has been engaged in journalism for more than 30 years, has served as a front-line reporter and editor, and in recent years, he has been engaged in technology and server maintenance.
"Working the night shift has been a part of my career for almost my entire career, and it's been a long part of my career and a commitment to journalism," he says. ”
Years of night work have overwhelmed Ding Hongsheng's body, and he has successively suffered from Meniere's syndrome, neurological tinnitus and other diseases, and in 2021, he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Talking about night shift work, Zhao Zihan, editorial board member and director of the editor-in-chief office of China Women's Daily, who has been working on the night shift for 16 years, once told the media tea party that "there are hardships and glory." She believes that the night shift of newspapers is the "general hub" and "gatekeeper" of news gathering and editing. She still remembers that when the party was in its prime, the newspaper produced a special issue of "100 Years is in its prime", creating 20 editions of the super-long picture scroll. Among them, from the selection of the theme, the layout of the layout, to the placement of the **, etc., I can't remember how many times to modify and scrutinize. In the early morning of July 1, holding the elaborate "Super Long Picture Scroll" special issue in her hand, she looked out the window at the rising sun, and she was full of emotion in her heart: "I think it is of great significance, we have not only witnessed a great history, but also realized the heavy responsibility on our shoulders." ”
Many of the recipients of the aid felt the same way, saying that the journalism industry was really hard, and they had to face industry problems such as high pressure and irregular work and rest, but when they saw the news they made was seen by everyone, they felt that everything was worth it.
Li Sa, director of the Education Development Department of Nanjing Radio and Television Group's Media Integration Product Center, the target of this year's assistance, said: "The happiest thing in my work is that the programs have gained influence, such as the nearly one million people in each issue of the 20 relevant theoretical programs we carefully planned, recommended on the homepage of learning and Xi Power, and used as teaching ** by Marxist colleges and universities in Nanjing."
* Xiao Yuan, editor of the morning program department of the news center of the radio and television station, said: "For us night shift editors, it is the greatest spiritual motivation to be able to deliver the fruits of the labor of our colleagues to the audience in a safe, timely and accurate manner. ”
Not only night shift positions, but also many front-line journalists have received assistance this year under the relaxation of conditions. These reporters are on the front line of the news, using words to freeze the warmth, and using the camera to capture the touch, and behind this is inevitably the wind and rain, the night battle, and even the disease.
Among the recipients of this year's assistance, some reporters fell on the front line of news reporting. In August this year, Beijing News photojournalist Tao Ran suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed in the operating room during the doctor's operation. It is understood that his fainting this time was caused by frequent high-altitude interviews and continuous high-intensity work.
Do not give up: warm more watchmen of justice.
Referring to the night shift assistance project, Ding Hongsheng, editor of Chutian Rong Center, said: "Thank you very much, this gratitude is not only because of the financial assistance it provides, but also because it reflects the society's affirmation and care for our night shift people. ”
The Night Shift Worker Assistance Program provides assistance and support for our night shift editors, which is a great encouragement and motivation for everyone. Zhao Zihan said.
Chen Yubing, the co-sponsor of the project and the representative of the donor company, and the general manager of Shanghai Yanshan Science and Technology Co., Ltd., said: "I hope that this public welfare can make more caring public welfare people, organizations and enterprises pay attention to the group of people on the night shift." We will continue to maintain the heart of public welfare and help the healthy and orderly development of the industry. ”
Liu Canguo, vice president of the China Economic Media Association and founder of the Media Tea Party, said: "It is often said that people are the promoters of social progress and the watchmen of fairness and justice, but they themselves are often ignored. He also said: "I hope that in the future, more caring enterprises will participate in this project, promote the project to become bigger, get more attention, and help more people." Scripture).
