Mass Subjectivity:The Evolution and Development of the"Mass Line"Thought in the News Publicity Work of the Communist Party of China
"The Mass Line"represents a cornerstone concept in the news and publicity endeavors of the CPC.Through a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of reports and resolutions from various Party congresses,it becomes evident that the ideological essence of the Party's news and publicity work under the"Mass Line"encompasses four key dimensions,i.e.,the delineation of news and propaganda objectives,the perspective of observation,the methodologies employed,and the cultivation of competent teams.Over time,the ideological framework of the"Mass Line"in news and propaganda work has undergone a dynamic process of exploration,development,bold innovation,and creative refinement across different historical periods,including revolutionary struggles,socialist construction,reform and opening up,and the new era of socialism.This evolutionary journey embodies a logic of both continuity and change.Continuity is rooted in the Party's unwavering leadership,its reliance on the masses,and its dedication to the pursuit of truth from facts,constituting its enduring core principles.Meanwhile,change is evident in the Party's deepened understanding of the active role of the masses and its adaptation to evolving values and the evolving landscape of news and propaganda work across different epochs.
