<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, March.17th, 2004: Mr. Guo Jianxin, editor <strong>of</strong> Eastern<br />

Horizon (Dongfang Shikong) <strong>of</strong> CCTV, gave a lecture named ―in face <strong>of</strong> the changing<br />

world‖ at <strong>PKU</strong> this afternoon.<br />

The speech was mainly about how to report international news. Mr. Guo emphasized<br />

two important perspectives in reporting international news. The first is the historical<br />

perspective. He proposed that yesterday shapes today‘s perspective and today will<br />

form that <strong>of</strong> tomorrow. Thus when reporting international news, journalists should<br />

excavate the cause <strong>of</strong> the story, the relative cues in the historical perspective in<br />

order to be closest to facts. The other journalists should know is the perspective <strong>of</strong><br />

eternity. Journalists are supposed to gain understandings which can be evaluated by<br />

time and space. With the two perspectives, the international news should further<br />

realize its three functions: finding truths, transmitting information and recording<br />

histories.<br />

Mr. Guo said international news will become the mainstream <strong>of</strong> news report in the<br />

future world, in which different countries connected with each other more closely.<br />

However, international news reports in China still fall behind China‘s development.<br />

As the producer <strong>of</strong> ―Elites Interview‖ (Gaoduan Fangwen) <strong>of</strong> Dongfang Shikong, Mr.<br />

Guo makes interview plan for Chinese famous TV host Shui Junyi. They interview<br />

the elites in almost every field such as American former president Clinton. According<br />

to his own experience, Mr. Guo suggest students accumulate as much news<br />

interview experience as they can and broaden their horizon by extensively reading<br />

books in history, literature, philosophy, physiology and so on.<br />

At last, Mr. Guo gave some comments on the terrorist attacks happened in Spain<br />

and Iran. He believed global anti-terrorism union will not be affected by these<br />

attacks.<br />
