1. Political quality construction. Having high political quality is the premise and reliable guarantee for doing a good job in journalism and journalists. Many journalists are only busy with their own business, but they ignore the study of political theory. What aspects should journalists' political quality be reflected in? Generally speaking, it is strong party spirit, correct political direction, high professionalism and strong sense of responsibility. High political quality means adhering to the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly and adhering to the correct political direction. Its main contents include: First, adhere to the correct direction of public opinion, clearly publicize the party's political opinions and views, and publicize the party's line, principles and policies. Second, efforts should be made to make the party's line, principles and policies meet with readers in a timely and accurate manner through news reports, so as to stimulate the people's enthusiasm for actively investing in building a well-off society in an all-round way and constantly creating a new situation in socialist modernization. Third, enthusiastically eulogize the achievements of the people in building a well-off society in an all-round way and correctly reflect their urgent wishes, voices and demands. Fourth, dare to expose and castigate wrong thoughts and behaviors that infringe upon and harm people's interests, and expose social evils. To have these political qualities, journalists should first strive for self-improvement, persist in hard study and practice, arm their minds with scientific theories, guide their words and deeds with advanced ideas, constantly strengthen party spirit cultivation, and establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. No matter what the environment, we can adhere to the correct political direction, maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee in ideology, politics and action, and be politically qualified.

2. Theoretical quality construction. Theoretical quality refers to mastering the theoretical level and policy level of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents. A higher theoretical level of Marxism-Leninism and a stronger policy literacy cannot be achieved overnight. It takes long-term unremitting study and practice, and it will accumulate over time to achieve success naturally. Practice has proved that whether a reporter has a long-term vision, a keen sense of smell, a profound style of work, whether he considers the problem comprehensively or unilaterally, and whether the article is written deeply or shallowly, all involve the level of theory and policy, that is, the level of theoretical quality. Without certain qualities and conditions, you can't write a good work. At present, in order to improve the quality of newspapers and give full play to the role of news media, we must further improve the theoretical level of journalists and strengthen the theoretical quality construction of journalists.

3. Professional quality construction. Professional quality is the ability of reporters to interview and write, and higher professional quality is the key for journalists to do a good job in news reporting. The professional quality of journalists is mainly manifested in extensive social activities, keen observation of things, analysis of problems and skillful written expression. Journalists should be able to go deep into reality, the masses, the grassroots, establish universal social ties, accurately and timely grasp the hot and difficult issues that leaders and the masses care about, and be able to write good articles that are popular with readers. Party newspaper reporters, in particular, should not only convey the Party's ideas quickly, timely and accurately, but also publicize their basis in various effective forms, see through their application effects, help people consciously follow them, not only reflect the status quo of objective things, but also reveal the essence, mainstream and development law of objective things, help people understand the truth and unite to fight for it.

4. Work style and quality construction. Style quality is the state that journalists show in their thoughts, work and life. Excellent style and quality are the premise of doing a good job in journalism and being a good journalist. To have a good style of work, we must adhere to the mass line, adhere to the style of integrating theory with practice, be brave in carrying out criticism and self-criticism, be loyal to the party's journalism, love work, work hard and make selfless contributions, and inherit and carry forward the party's fine tradition and journalism style.
