Misguided Taxi information screen "security and benefit debate"

From the end of last year, a controversy and torture about business interests and public safety pushed the taxi-car information screen to the forefront of public opinion. The controversy stems from a traffic accident in Shanghai, in which a passenger sitting in a taxi seat was killed on the spot and his relatives and friends believed the victim had been hit by an advertising screen. The matter in micro-blog was a large number of forwarding, a number of media intervention reported that "Taxi installation screen security risks" should be removed. The Information screen incredibly is the car accident killer, this reminder sounded quite shocking, but in the police produce the confirmation book, bears the main responsibility is the taxi driver, but the car screen and the operator has never been included in the party, the information screen "The killer factor" has not been identified by any authority department. The popularity of information screens has been around the world for years, such as airplanes, New York taxis, and this advertising screen has been popularized in Shanghai for many years, but there have never been any reports of a possible threat to passenger safety. In fact, if the "hardness" and "lack of buffering function" and the harm, the current Chinese taxis in the wider presence of the driver seat guard-proof guardrail than the square-inch information screen is much larger. Why not call for a demolition? A taxi collided with the car in front, causing the rear passenger to crash, if the media in the accident to find more meaningful signals, not wearing a seat belt is more important than the demolition of the information screen, but why the various reports are keen to refer to the information screen as the culprit of the accident? I do not think that the media is trying to mislead the public and the regulatory body, deliberately ignoring the underlying factors that endanger the safety of passengers: do not wear seat belts. However, in this incident, the media's excessive pursuit of "fun", indeed, objectively led to a biased understanding of the truth. There are many reasons for "results", of course, can not exclude information screen factors, but there are seat belts, road conditions, speed, driver operation and other reasons. and the choice of "information screen" linked, even if the relationship again far-fetched, and obviously than the report "no seat belt" more communication and forwarding rate, more eye-catching, so, the car information screen and its businesses to touch the media was listed in the "Media dock." One interesting detail is that there is a small controversy on Weibo, Zhou, a professor of automotive engineering at Tsinghua University, who was interviewed for the accident, said: "Two of small reporters to catch this hot topic, these two days old phone pestering me, I have to say that the installation of the screen has a significant harm to the" expert "argument, I repeatedly stressed that The more serious problem is not wearing seat belts ... Clearly the phone and email all told what is the weight of the light, mine, but you have to throw the focus. Obviously, conspiracy, benefit and citizen security, the report of the information screen can deduce "blockbuster", this has the fatal temptation to the media. The problem is that, as the Internet and social media are booming today, "forwarding" has made good media coverage more visible, but the "forwarding rate" is also attracting media more than ever before to deviate from the truth, and people are more interested in those scary topics. In the network society, how to make the fact to be respected, but not by the "topic" misleading, will be more and more important mediaTopics. Jie black, grilled feces, for the media and the public, are very easy to cause excitement, but the object of the report, the role is likely to be fatal, especially in the commercial sector, once the injury, the consequences can not be undone. Did the three Empires collapse in a story? Like the car information screen such a small subdivision area, the government as long as the pressure index finger light bombs, an industry is very easy to ashes, but under the macro is a living job and business dream. The media must be cautious.
