Online Reports on Officials' Committing Suicide:Side Effects,Impacts and Reflections

官员自杀事件因官员身份的敏感性和可能涉及公共利益而成为媒体和公众关注的焦点。各大网络媒体对于我国官员自杀事件的报道具有重要的舆论影响力,不适宜的表达和呈现方式,有害于受众的精神及心理健康,损害政府形象,不利于受众对社会的认知与社会秩序的稳定。目前网络媒体报道官员自杀事件的过程中存在诸多问题,例如公众知情权与死者隐私权、媒体满足公众知情权与承担社会责任之间的矛盾,难以平衡。目前我国缺乏对媒体报道自杀事件的相关规定或指导性意见,对报道官员自杀事件时媒体所应遵守的道德规范的研究更处于相对缺失的状态。网络媒体有关官员自杀事件报道存在的失范现象值得反思和纠正。
