ABSTRACT

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, China has gradually established a government-run journalism system. After the reform and opening-up of China, in-depth reporting appeared as a new reporting style and became an important form of journalism. This chapter discusses the developmental process of in-depth reporting and its implications. From May 1957, the newspaper viewed the Rectification Movement as an important event to report. The Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee subsequently issued a notice on the Cultural Revolution, named "Five One Six Notice". In-depth reporting began with the report of the Bohai II shipwreck. In "A Track on Graduates", the author puts forward a series of problems and elaborated on them in detail. In the year 1987, the "Three Color Report" reported by the China Youth Daily, reinvigorated society. The report on the Guan Guangmei phenomenon in the 1980s was documented in the history of Chinese journalism.
