It has been said that politicians invariably call snap general elections when it suits their own political ambitions,but in the case of the approaching elections in November,we're getting a little bit impatient for some of us found that Golden Brown turn out to be a really bad decision maker,especially when the decision is likely to tamper the political life of his own. I don't intend to indicate Brown is, as William Hague observed this week, a "calculator" rather than an instinctive politician. Virtually,he has to "bring on" the final decision as to the general election on next tuesday and that will be the deadline to demonstrate whether the PM of UK is a worthless coward or a political veteran.

With the deliberatedly fatal shooting of a Japanese journalist while covering the pro-democracy demonstrations,the big event in Burma just began to show some of its effective influences on neighbouring countries. According to a report in Guardian Unlimited,Japan,for example,one of the biggest donors to Burma,is fiercely outraged and planning to suspend its economic aid to the poorest country in Asia.Usually,those sorts of international sanction will undoubtedly do execution.But in this case,the dictatorial government there may not get too scared to proceed its military crackdown against any opponents.The reason,for the most part,probably lies in its fantasy of some powerful political support derive from its another big donor and ally,the People's Republic of China.

Obviously,these two asian countries share the same category of regime-dictatorship and some historical connections between them may as well bring these two countries together in the same battlefront providing the political pressure is really intensifying and alarming.Nevertheless,Chinese Communist Party this time has to think twice before taking a single step and carefully speculate what mechanism they could figure out to handle such emergency.After all,the horrible memoir of the great massacre in 1989 is,hopefully,none the less vivid in the mind of every Chinese and this can possiblelly make the Beijing goverment get stuck in a paradoxical morass due to the Olimpic Games, which imply international kudos and access to civilized world,held in next year.

Actually,Beijing government won't be that stupid to assist one of its so-called poor pal at the risk of losing its chance to get international assessment and admittance for the sound of criticism about the action on human-rights abuses has never stopped since some half a decade before,when the IOC announced that the 2008 Olimpic Games will be held there.Moreover,an artical from The Observer told that Beijing just wants the Olimpic badly so that it is going to avoid and diminish every possible factor that can "become a platform for democracy campaigners to highlight China's human-rights abuses." The direct outcome therefore,must turnout to be the total pretending ignorance of what had happened in Burma.

But,one of the funny,and perhaps paramount,facets on this issue might be that Beijing government is now likely to be brainstorming some effective ways to block out all information and digital communicators in terms of net and cellphones if those clashs like 1989 or Burma surely recur in the future.(Now is after all a digital era,and don't forget all the MMS messages as to the Burmese crackdown)When the students again gather around Tiananmen Square,we'll be lucky to see the scene of the military forces' capture of bunches of Nokias and Motos rather than bloody ears that uesd to belong to some humanbeings.

When aspiring journalists talk about where they would like to work,they usually mention huge metropolitan newspapers or other media companies with news departments that would make them a foreign or London correspondent.In a word,they want to work for the best places that they can ever pursue and have scores of specialist traveling around the world.They want to have fun,interview some celebrities,cover great events and write about them.

Quite the contrary, the truth is that not every journalist has the golden chance to work in London, New York,Washington DC,Tokyo or other metropolis. As a graduate on the courses of journalism who has a little internship experience in a famous daily newspaper as well, I take to imply that there does exist some multi-dimensional aspects of this vocation. You don't have to get the spot where some big events really happened or be busy at updating your cover everyday.I think,it is more reasonable for us to make a sort of review or reconsideration as to what happened and why.

Umberto Eco,the Italian scholar and novelist,used to indicate that with the current looming of neomedia and online journalism,the total amount of information we get today is,as it were,smaller than that in the past,which is quite distinct from our notion at large.So,if the reader or audience wants to get and apprehend some relevant news or opinions on some current events,he will surely have to resort to a certain info resource and then discuss with his peers.News are not merely messages.They're such a kind of messages that can produce influences on your mind,behavior,emotion,judgement and finally define the category of persons you put yourself in.

In fact,news are messages that deserve our discussion and reflection.Just as what Eco told us,if we consider news as pizza from the grocery that would stink within a day,we will undoubtedly get fewer and fewer amount of information because of the deficiency of review and discussion.By and large,it has been broadly recognized that immediacy and instancy are two critical elements of journalism,but I'm none the less insisting that we should spare some time and space for our analysis and reconsideration and all of them depend on the atmosphere of blog.
