* The word "supervision" is believed to be familiar to many people. Nowadays, with the profound changes in the ecology, pattern and communication mode, the important role of supervision in promoting practical work is becoming more and more prominent.

However, the author found that in actual work, whether it is party members and cadres, ordinary people or the platform itself, there are still some confusions and misunderstandings about supervision, and we have sorted out the following six misunderstandings. Some are drawing on the research results of predecessors, and some are family's words, welcome to leave a message with us**.

Myth 1: Supervision and positive propaganda are opposites

There is a view that the basic principle of "unity, stability, encouragement, and positive propaganda" in supervision and journalistic work is opposite, and the more positive propaganda the better, so it is hoped that the less supervision there is, the better, and it is better not to have it. As for the relationship between ** supervision and positive publicity, in fact, it has long been decided. In 2016, the general secretary of the party made it clear at the party's press work symposium that "supervision and positive propaganda are unified". The general secretary also pointed out that "the news should face up to the problems existing in the work, face the ugly phenomena in society, stir up turbidity and promote purity, and pinpoint the evils of the times, and at the same time publish critical reports with accurate facts and objective analysis." The so-called positive propaganda is mainly aimed at the effect of publicity, and it is not a requirement to only report good news and not bad news every day, turn a blind eye to the problem, and retreat. As long as the supervision is out of public intentions, pointing out problems and promoting solutions, such supervision is essentially positive propaganda. On the contrary, if there is a long-term lack of supervision, small problems will become big problems, and small contradictions will accumulate into big contradictions, and once they erupt, they will often cause uncontrollable consequences. Myth 2: Supervision is for "attacking" and "discrediting".Some leading cadres are accustomed to blaming the occurrence of negative public opinion on supervision, believing that supervision is "smearing" and "adding chaos" and is not conducive to the overall situation of economic and social development. Therefore, when encountering **supervision, instead of first reflecting on the problems existing in the work, but looking for the propaganda and Internet information department to say hello, thinking of using the method of "blocking and deleting" to calm down**;What's more, they resist confrontation against supervision and retaliate against journalists. For example, a reporter was removed from the ** group by the park management department because he wrote a supervision report about the high fees of restaurants in the parkSome reporters from the supervision column returned to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year, and as soon as they entered the village, they were followed and watched, and they also continued to receive threatening text messages. Although there are few such cases, some incidents that do not have a high degree of attention in themselves have caused new speculation and doubts because the places involved have adopted the method of control and blocking, and eventually led to the intensification of public opinion. As the saying goes, facts are primary, and ** is secondary. The fundamental reason for triggering negative public opinion is not supervision, but the things exposed by supervision. Only by facing up to the problem and solving the problem can we win the understanding and support of the masses and the massesOn the contrary, only thinking about extinguishing the fire, lacking the determination and action to solve the problem from the root, may trigger greater secondary public opinion. Myth 3: Only news can engage in supervisionIn the era of underdeveloped information, the news has mastered the communication resources, so it has assumed more functions of supervision on behalf of the public, which has long led many people to think that supervision is the matter of news. In fact, supervision is not exactly the same as supervision. Especially in the information society, "everyone has a microphone", Weibo, WeChat and other social platforms have become an important position for supervision, and individuals can also participate in supervision, "Weibo anti-corruption" and "online real-name reporting" are typical cases. And most of the time, news**, social platforms, and netizen opinions will interact with each other to form a joint force of supervision. For example, in 2021, in a dog-biting incident in a certain place, it was the local TV station that was supervised at first, and the majority of righteous netizens voiced their rational voices through social platforms to promote the attention of relevant parties and solve the problem. Myth 4: Supervision solves everythingOn the one hand, some cadres and the masses mistakenly believe that the role of supervision is unlimited, and some contradictions occur, and the first thing they think of is "looking for you";Some encounter illegal and criminal incidents, instead of seeking legal solutions as soon as possible, but hope to "uphold justice" through supervision. Leave some problems that should have been solved by the judicial department or the parties themselves to ** and the network. Supervision is not a panacea and should not and cannot replace other channels of problem solving. On the other hand, some ** and the platform itself also have a unclear understanding and improper grasp of the ** supervision, abuse of the right to report, and the supervision of "offside" has also appeared. For example, in case reports, some people are excessively involved in the judicial trial process, creating pressure and affecting the outcome of the case. In particular, some Internet platforms, due to their anonymity and low cost, have made so-called supervision more arbitrary, and "cyber violence" and "doxing" have made the parties miserable. Myth 5: "Finding faults" and "exposing shortcomings" are **supervisionIn the process of supervision, there is also the undesirable phenomenon of "supervision for the sake of supervision". Some focus on "finding faults" and "exposing shortcomings", deliberately magnifying the shortcomings of the points and ignoring the positive situation on the wholeSome of them have pointed the finger at those problems on which the masses have opinions, but our work is limited to the current conditions and is difficult to solve for the time beingThere are also no follow-up reports on supervision, exposing problems but not tracking the solution process of the problem, resulting in the role of supervision can not be effectively played, and it also makes supervision lose its original meaning. What is more, through so-called "supervision" to seek illegitimate interests and achieve ulterior purposes, they eventually embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes. For example, the 21st Century News extortion case that occurred around 2013. 21st Century.com and Money Week colluded with public relations companies to threaten listed companies and companies to be listed with negative reports, forcing relevant companies to sign advertising subscriptions and service agreements. After the matter was revealed, the relevant responsible persons and editorial staff were severely punished by law. Myth 6: To engage in ** supervision, you should cater to trafficIn order to cater to the extreme mentality of some people who "hate officials" and "hate the rich", some ** supervisors "stand in line" for supervision and lose their objective and neutral position. BMW hit the bike and scolded the BMW indiscriminately;The chengguan and the hawkers had a conflict, and the chengguan was criticized first. In order to pursue traffic and attract attention, some do not conduct in-depth interviews and investigations, and use clips on the Internet or the words of the parties concerned to report at will, forcibly creating contradictions, lest the world be chaotic. For example, in July last year, a paragraph of "**** playing with a mobile phone when rescuing a child" went viral on the Internet, and some **also participated** and commented. It was later confirmed that the ** was using his mobile phone to call for medical assistance. It is not uncommon for such cases of supervision and reversal to be reversed, exposing some misdirections of "traffic first" and the platform. In the article "Leading Cadres Should Welcome Supervision" published by "Zhijiang Xinyu", Comrade ** stressed: "Leading cadres at all levels should welcome ** supervision, take the initiative to accept ** supervision, correct their shortcomings and mistakes through the use of ** supervision, and strive to do a better job." He also demanded that "comrades in the ** news department should abide by journalistic discipline, be objective and truthful in their reflection of the situation, and encourage them to help without causing trouble." Particular attention should be paid to not reporting fake news and not hyping up so-called hot news that may trigger various incidents." This is still of great guiding significance and practical value today. Correct understanding promotes practice. As far as party and government organs and leading cadres are concerned, it is necessary to have a bearing and a mind, calmly face normal criticism, and respect proper supervisionIt is also necessary to have wisdom and courage, be good at promoting work with the help of supervision, fully mobilize positive factors, and make supervision an opportunity to solve problems. For the mainstream, supervision is the "sword of Shang Fang" given by the people, and it should be regarded as an important weapon to establish authority and win the hearts of the peopleAt the same time, it is necessary to uphold the public spirit, take the facts as the basis, take the law as the criterion, take objectivity and fairness as the principle, take the promotion of work and solving problems as the starting point and the end point, and carry out supervision constructively, so as to help without adding chaos. As for us "melon-eating masses", we might as well "let the bullets fly for a while", don't rush to stand in line, and don't become the ** of "cyber violence".
