No matter what caliber, it is undeniable that continuous live broadcast has allowed us to see more actual conditions of the disaster areas. In this disaster, the performance of the media was basically qualified.
We should thank many reporters on the scene. They are human beings first, and then they are journalists. Many of their actions make people feel that not all Chinese media professionals are useless, and China still has real journalists. Zhang Quanling is one of them.
During the snow disaster, Zhang was in Guangzhou; when the Olympic flame was delivered to the summit of Mount Everest, she was on the mountain, and just a few days later, she appeared in the disaster area in Sichuan. The day before yesterday, her voice could be heard as extremely exhausted while connecting on the way back to Chengdu, and the next day she reappeared on the side of the road in Wenchuan reporting on the road opening situation. And tonight, I have just seen her appear at the scene of rescuing trapped women.
