Life of Characters in Chang Fawu's Works

Henan Daily attaches great importance to news photography. "Our newspaper now publishes more pictures in 1 year than the sum of the past five years." Referring to the changes in news photography reports, Chang Fawu said with emotion that as long as the news is strong, pictures can be used for full-page reports. Nowadays, Henan Daily often makes headlines with photos, and even sends a photo on the front page. In this way, the layout is alive, the readability is greatly enhanced, and the people prefer to read newspapers.

"Our photojournalist's equipment has always been the best." Chang Fawu, who has been engaged in photography for many years, pays special attention to the construction and training of photographers. He said that Henan Daily not only bought the most advanced photographic equipment for journalists at great expense, but also sent photographers out to participate in various trainings every year to broaden their horizons, improve their own quality and promote the continuous innovation of news photography of party newspapers.

As the organ of the provincial party committee, the photo report of Henan Daily is quite distinctive. "We ask photographers to use poems and prose poems with written descriptions." Referring to "there are pictures in poems", Chang Fawu said that using poems to refine the theme of photography layout is a form innovation of photography reporting, which combines beautiful words with beautiful pictures to attract readers more. He said that in the future, the photo report of Henan Daily should be more story-telling and ideological, with pictures telling stories, one theme and one page presenting a story, so that news photography can reflect various social phenomena and make the photo page more vivid.
