As early as 20 13 and 10, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Further Strengthening the Openness of Government Information, Responding to Social Concerns and Enhancing the Government's Credibility, which pointed out that "all departments in the State Council should establish and improve the routine press release system". How many departments have established a routine press release system? What are the characteristics of the regular press conferences of these departments?
Twenty-nine central departments and units have established a routine press release system.
Of the 77 central departments and units evaluated, 29 have established a routine press release system and 48 have not.
According to the assessment statistics, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of National Defense, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Culture, National Health Planning Commission, People's Bank of China, General Administration of Customs, State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China, People's Republic of China (PRC), State Administration for Industry and Commerce, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, General Administration of Sport, National Bureau of Statistics,
Most of these departments hold a press conference every month or quarter, and some departments hold a press conference every working day or week. The contents of the conference will be published on its official website in time.
Regular press conferences should be held at regular intervals, not ventilation meetings or face-to-face meetings.
The relevant person in charge of the State Council Office said that the routine press release system is an "upgraded version" of the press release system. The regular press conference is characterized by being held regularly every week, month or quarter, with relatively fixed release frequency, high density, quick timeliness and strong authority.
The reporter found that the time for some departments to hold press conferences is not fixed, and there are often things to open, nothing to rest, and the information release is uneven, which leads to information interruption; Some departments only hold meetings and don't release them, and there is no trace of the recorded content after the conference on their official website.
The relevant person in charge of the State Council Office stressed that routine press conferences cannot be equated with small-scale and undisclosed release activities such as briefings and press conferences. The "routine" must be regular, fixed, release information on the spot, ask questions from reporters, and be institutionalized. "Some departments have established a press release system, which is often only satisfied with their own needs. When information is released, they will hold a press conference selectively, and the contents of the press conference will not be released to the public in official website. Although the number of people has met the requirements, it cannot be regarded as establishing a regular press release system. "
14 all departments have completed the press release requirements of "4 2 1+N 0+N".
"the State Council's Opinions on Further Strengthening Government Information Disclosure, Responding to Social Concerns and Enhancing Government Credibility" points out that "relevant functional departments that are closely related to the macro-economy and people's livelihood and have more social concerns should further increase the frequency of publication, and in principle hold at least one press conference every quarter". At the same time, the main responsible comrades and spokespersons are required to attend the press conference of the State Council Office.
According to the opinions, the State Council established the rigid work requirements of "4 2 1+N 0+N" news release mode. "4" is a department closely related to macroeconomics and people's livelihood, which is concerned by the society. It holds at least/kloc-0 press conferences every quarter, four times a year; "2" means that the responsible comrades of these departments attend at least 1 news conference held by the State Council every six months, twice a year; "1" is the main responsible comrade of these departments, and participates in at least 1 new press conference every year; "n" means to hold a press conference at any time when major social concerns and major emergencies occur.
Of the 77 central departments and units included in the assessment in 20 16, only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Health Planning Commission, the People's Bank of China, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission 14 have completed the assessment.
