WUZHEN, Nov. 19 (Xinhuanet) – “The internet, one of the most significant representatives of the new media, is growing rapidly under the condition of technological changes,” said Tian Shubin, Xinhuanet CEO on Wednesday.

Speaking at a sub-forum of the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, east China’s Zhejiang Province, Tian said, half of the world social network users share their stories, photos and videos on internet.

Three out of ten American grown-ups get news from Facebook, while the number of Chinese netizens is up to 78.5 percent, he added.

“However, the insufficient stability and inadequate harmony make new media out-of-balance at multiple levels,” he said, pointing to the discourse imbalance triggered by excessive media orientation, media-selectivity imbalance triggered by commercialization, and other imbalances caused by disorderly competition and excessive growth.

He said it is certainly worth rethinking the weakness resulted from the development of new media.

“What is more, the whole media industry is responsible for managing the unhealthy network circumstance which has bad influence on international information processing, “ he added.

According to Tian, everybody living in the moment have a “microphone” to express themselves.

That is to say, in internet era, people are required to bear more responsibilities to control their “microphones” consciously to help establish the credibility of the media industry, he explained.

Internet user, also the information consumer, is eager to pursue a new media environment in which energy and order are coexisted excellently, he stressed.

“I believe Information interconnection and internet collegiality will make new media a more powerful and ordered space for development,” he said.
