Public news 5 years left only missing

Five years ago, on New Year's Day in 2017, a small online media "Zhongxin" founded by a number of senior media people was established. "Crowd" means to gather the power of the crowd, walk with the crowd, and make news for the general public.

At the time of its establishment, the founding members of Zhongxin felt that the prospect of the media industry was worrying and that there was not enough reputable media for the public to choose from. , to serve the public, I hope our small step can encourage the industry to take a small step, and each individual's small step can form a giant step in protecting press freedom."

Zhongxin emphasizes that it has no party or sect, does not set a political position or policy orientation, and has always maintained financial independence. It used crowdfunding to provide start-up funds in the early stage of operation, and then relied on monthly subscription support from subscribers. Subscribers receive a weekly newsletter with in-depth analysis of the week's local political, Chinese, international and economic situation.

At the beginning of the news, there were only about ten editors and editors. With limited resources, they could only choose to do news reports that had the public interest, cared for the community, and broadened the readers’ perspectives, whether it was investigations, character stories, or special discussions. Build a spirit of trust, diversity and freedom, and interact with the public.

Along the way, all news records history, and history records all news.

Many news reports over the years have been awarded the Jin Yaoru Press Freedom Award, the Human Rights Press Award, the Asian Publishing Industry Association (SOPA) and many other awards. Even with limited resources, the team has worked hard to create new content, including data news, databases, interactive pages, and more.

In 2019, the society has changed, and the news cannot be broadcast live for a long time like other media, but the team still works hard to report.

In 2020, the huge waves will hide in the press, and the news will insist on independent voices. In January 2021, the former members of the former cable China group joined the group to set up the news China group. After that, the former Hong Kong and Taiwan "Sounds and Sons" team, as well as a number of aspiring journalists, joined one after another to develop court news, documentaries, talk shows and other content.

Today, Zhongxin's facebook has about 400,000 followers, and its YouTube channel has about 270,000 subscribers. From a team of less than ten people at the beginning, it has grown to more than 40 people.

On January 4, 2022, all the news said goodbye.

Left, only miss.
