Analysis Of The Propaganda On The Battle Of Wuhan In The Wuhan Newspaper

Newspapers, radio, television, the network are known as the "four Medias". There were radios in the 20th century 30 years, but not common, so it is no doubt for newspapers as China's mainstream media to become an important instrument of propaganda. I sort out several newspapers which had large circulation in Wuhan and affected a wide range to analysis of the propaganda on the battle of Wuhan in the Chinese newspapers.The paper has three parts. The first part discusses the importance of propaganda on the battle of Wuhan. First, after the fall of Nanjing, Wuhan became the center of China's political, economic, military and cultural, was China's "wartime capital", together with an important strategic position of Wuhan, China and Japan developed strategic plans of Wuhan, thus there was bound to be a war broke out in Wuhan. At the time, the National Government only rely on the government and the military to defend against Japanese, although aware of the importance of mass mobilization, they had not given sufficient attention. So in this case, we must rely on propaganda of newspapers to make people aware of the importance of defense of Wuhan. Secondly, there were relatively good political climate in China especially in Wuhan, which made the media and freedom of expression to flourish, so it provided a good political environment and an atmosphere of tolerance to propaganda of the newspaper. Finally, I illustrate in this period, press and publishing industry of Wuhan had an extraordinary development to become the center of a national publishing, which made the press propaganda possible. Then briefly describes several major newspapers in Wuhan.The second part is the main part of the paper. It mainly interprets the reports and comments of the defense of Wuhan in Wuhan press, advocacy to the importance of defend the great Wuhan, how to defend the great Wuhan, mobilize the people to defend the great Wuhan are discussed in detail in the part.The third part evaluates propaganda of defense the great Wuhan. During the battle of Wuhan, newspapers collected concentration and had a large number of reports to advocate defense the great Wuhan and set promotion, organization, education, action in one, appealed to strong mobilization, and acted as a bridge between the Government and people, so effect of propaganda on the Battle of Wuhan Reached a peak during the defense against Japanese, as a wonderful work during the war.
