With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, the campus media has rapidly developed from the traditional paper media era to the new media era. WeChat and Weibo have become the forefronts where universities enhance morality and foster talents. It is of vital importance to firmly occupy the highland of ideological propaganda, promote the construction of university culture, and grasp the laws of the development of new media in colleges and universities.
As a pilot for the new media construction of the “On-line Communist Youth League” of the Youth League Committee of Nankai University, the College of Foreign Languages attaches great importance to the construction of the public platform - “the College of Foreign Languages of NK”(abbreviated as CFL of NK), which is a carrier of the college‘s propaganda work.

"The media has never made us feel such a sense of responsibility"
The Paper, as the first result announced after the reform of Shanghai United Media Group, focuses on current political news and thought analysis. The two characters of "Pengpai" printed on the wall in the office area make the teachers and students excited who see them for the first time. Looking at the following slogan "Focus on politics and thought" which shows the purpose and the pursuit of the new media people, they felt more awe-inspiring. Wang Peng, executive director of the company, introduced the development history of the Paper, corporate culture and the transition process from traditional media to new media. He also shared experiences on the diversity of news topics, column innovation and style establishment, particular emphasis on "to be a media with conscience". He said that we should maintain the initial intention of being a media person, keep the bottom line, and uphold the authenticity and originality of the news.

They always work on the front line to try their best to dedicate the freshest news to the masses in the most authentic and reliable form. They also help the teachers and students of CFL to break through the "reading only" theory, making them pay more attention to the new thoughts, content, and writing quality.

Whether a political hot spot or a school policy , we want pass them to everyone as quickly and accurately as possible. The media has never made us feel such a sense of responsibility.
"Spread warm and personalized content"
CBN is China's most influential and most complete financial media group. When you first enter the office area, the slogan on the display board of “New Digital Financial Media and Information Service Group with the Most Credibility and Global Influence in China” is more shocking in addition to the broadcast room and TV live broadcast center equipped with professional equipment. Evenn though its traditional media has a strong advantage, the company has also conducted in-depth exploration in the development of new media, and carried out a “stock transformation”. Zhang Zhiqing, the chief operating officer of the new media, answered the questions about the “how to break through the bottlenecks faced with the tradition inertia” proposed by the teachers and students. He said that in the process of developing and expanding new media, we should have a “sublation” spirit, and have a clear understanding of audience, theme and image positioning so that we were able to find the core competitiveness of our own media.
When asked how WeChat public platform of colleges and universities should develop, he proposed to pay attention to the personalized spread so that readers or users feel the temperature. This also inspired the teachers and students of CFL to think about what the personality portrait of " CFL of NK " should be and how to find and play its unique advantages.

We urgently need to accurately target the audiences as soon as possible and continue to innovate the content according to user needs so that we can write more articles in accordance with the propaganda of colleges and universities and make ideological propaganda more effectively ."
