What is it like to work at Xinhua News Agency?

I won’t go into the historical overview of Xinhua News Agency, which is available on Xinhuanet. At present, Xinhua News Agency is a ministerial-level institution directly under the State Council. Of course, because it was founded by our party, its level is slightly higher than other ministries and commissions directly under the State Council, and it has closer ties with Zhongnanhai and the Central Propaganda Department. The president of Xinhua News Agency is at the ministerial level. Therefore, the smallest leadership level in Xinhua News Agency is deputy director. Compared with local governments, if you want to be an official, the advantage is that your starting point is relatively high. However, Xinhua News Agency has many employees. Currently, there are three to four thousand people in the head office, so the competition is fierce.

Specific departments and positions

After looking at the recruitment plan of Xinhua News Agency, the recruitment in 2012 basically covers all departments of Xinhua News Agency. According to my feelings, if divided by departments, the editing and editing departments (domestic, international, external, editorial department, sports department, China Securities Journal, information editorial department, Xinhuanet, reference news, half-month talks, lookout) Better than management functional departments (such as general office, technical bureau, etc., including marketing department). If divided by position, I personally think reporters are the best, followed by editors, marketers, technicians and lower-level managers.

Xinhua News Agency journalists have a very high status, especially in local areas. Many municipal party committee secretaries and mayors are afraid of Xinhua News Agency reporters. However, reporters’ work is tiring and they often need to travel, and according to the current assessment The solution is that a reporter's salary is directly linked to the number of articles he publishes, so reporters are also very tiring, but I personally really want to be a Xinhua News Agency reporter.

The work of Xinhua News Agency editors is different from that of ordinary newspapers and periodicals. Because they are publishing news articles, they do not have as much flexibility as newspaper editors. They are basically simple editors of manuscripts sent back by reporters. Therefore, I personally think Editing work is boring, but the advantage is that it is relatively relaxed. For example, as an editor in the international department, you basically have to work six day shifts and six night shifts. You can rest at other times a month, and the salary is not less than others.

Marketing has just been launched in Xinhua News Agency for a few years, so the status of marketers in Xinhua News Agency is not high, and the current marketing system basically maintains the appearance of a bureaucracy, which is very different from the marketing of large companies. Far.

Income and benefits

At present, after several years of reform in Xinhua News Agency, the income of various departments has been basically the same. Domestic and reference news are slightly higher than other departments, but it is said that the income is also higher. Adjusted to be the same as other departments. However, judging from the cost-effectiveness of wages, reporters will more or less have some gray income, but it is mainly experienced reporters. Young reporters can only bring some souvenirs when they go to interview. Editors can take about half a month off, so their income is considered high. Currently, marketing staff are quite busy at work, and compared with other companies, the salary can only be considered to be at the lower-middle level.

Specifically speaking about the treatment level of each person, there are currently three types of establishments for Xinhua News Agency employees. The first is the public establishment. The basic salary income is based on the national income standards for employees in relevant public institutions. Every two At the first level of annual promotion, there is a housing provident fund, but there is no pension insurance, unemployment insurance and medical insurance. Instead, there is pension and public medical care, and there is basically no unemployment problem in the public establishment; the second type is the enterprise establishment, which requires signing a contract with the company. , all have three insurances and one fund, and there is basically no difference in income level and career establishment; the third type is contract workers, which has nothing to do with college graduates.

Take me as an example. I graduated with a master's degree from the National People's University in 2005. My income basically consists of the following parts.

Graduation with a master’s degree is about 595 per month. If you have work experience, you will be promoted to one level every two years; various subsidies: There are many types of subsidies, but it is estimated that the standard has been raised in ten years. For example, I pay monthly housing The subsidy is only 70, which adds up to about a few hundred yuan; non-salary income: the main part of the income is non-salary income, including bonuses and the like. This part of the income is basically paid according to the level and is also raised every two years. Level one.

Together all of this, I currently get 3,100 yuan from my salary card every month, and 304 yuan is deducted from the provident fund. I used to have a monthly housing subsidy of 500 yuan from the business establishment, but now It may be increased to 700, but this money can only be withdrawn once a year. In addition, at the end of the year, each department will receive a year-end bonus based on the assessment method. Currently, the most popular one I have heard is 18,000. Ours is basically around 13,000 to 4,000. These are the basic benefits of Xinhua News Agency.

Other treatment

Many people think that the treatment at Xinhua News Agency must be particularly good, but that is not the case. Those who came to Xinhua News Agency before 2003 were all entitled to welfare housing, but this was no longer the case after 2003. The company did not provide dormitories for new employees, so they had to rent their own houses. It costs money to eat in the Xinhua News Agency cafeteria, which is similar to the school cafeteria. I use my meal card to save money. I once mentioned that I would change it to free lunch, but it has never been realized. That's all the benefits. There are other issues, such as children's schooling. Xinhua News Agency has its own corresponding primary and secondary schools. But this is quite far away from us.
