No. 360, 19.6.2010 NEWS & EVENTS 論傳媒生態、手術安全 Talks on Media Ecology and Surgical Safety • 中 大與香港公共圖書館合辦的博文公開講座第五 及第六講於5月29日及6月5日在香港中央圖書館 舉行，由社會科學院院長李少南教授（ 右 ）主講「香港傳 媒生態：利潤與責任」、醫學院外科學系系主任賴寶山教 授（ 左 ）主講「刀下怎留人？」 李少南教授分析，目前媒介的操守問題，並非全由於新聞 人員操守不足而起，主要關鍵在於媒介老闆把盈利放在首 位，忽略媒介的社會功能。此外，社會大眾喜聞樂道煽腥 煽色的新聞內容，並不深究自己的選擇對下一代及整個社 會的影響，亦是做成腥色內容充斥的主因。 賴寶山教授則從外科醫生的角度出發，講述現代手術流程 及系統設計如何達致高質量但低風險的手術結果。 J ointly organized by CUHK and the Hong Kong Public Libraries, the fifth and sixth Bowen Lectures were held on 29 May and 5 June respectively at the Hong Kong Central Library. Prof Paul S.N. Lee (right), Dean of Social Science, talked on ‘The Media Ecology in Hong Kong: Profit-making versus Responsibility’ while Prof. Paul B.S. Lai (left) on ‘Surgical Safety – the Number One Issue in Surgery Today’. Professor Lee analysed that if owners put profit above all and ignore the social role of media, journalists cannot do much to run healthy and responsible media. Furthermore, the ready consumption of sensational journalism by the audience who are not conscious of the impact of their choices on society and their children also constitutes an important factor for the prevalence of sensational contents. Professor Lai illustrated and explained, based on a surgeon’s prospective, what the medical profession could deliver in terms of processes of surgery and system design, to achieve high quality and low risk operations. 善衡書院宿舍命名 S.H.
