公务员考试面试热点:微博问政考验 【背景解读】 微博,是“微型博客”的简称,是一种由博客演变而来的网络新媒体,用户可以用不同的客户端、移动通讯设备登录微博网站,随时随地发送每条通常在140字之内的即时短信息。目前,国内几大门户网站都已推出微博服务。 微博不仅仅是信息传播的宠儿,更是网络问政的利器。2010年,从方舟子被袭到提问广州亚运,从曝光常德抢尸到“我爸是李刚”造句运动,在一件又一件热点议题中,微博都显示出强大的网络信息放大功能。就在3个月前,深陷拆迁之困的江西宜黄县钟家九妹,还不知道一种叫“微博”的东西会改变她个人和家庭的命运;就在近一个月前,一条“悬赏寻尸全城通缉”的消息出现在“厦门警方在线”的微博里引起网民强烈关注,民警通过网友提供的线索,将犯罪嫌疑人抓获。 随着微博影响力的扩大,越来越多的专家学者和社会名人开始使用微博,增强了微博问政的力度和广度。和红火的网络与博客一样,当微博得到网民的追捧、一呼百应之际,也对政府的决策、沟通、处置乃至公共治理能力提出新的考验。 在即将过去的2010年,一次次社会热点事件被微博传播放大,一些地方的党政机关和干部越来越意识到微博的重要性,开始用不同方式尝试利用微博听取民意、汇集民智。2010年2月,广东开设我国首批公安微博群,此后,河北公安微博群、济南公安微博群等相继浮出水面。8月1日,北京公安正式开通官方微博“平安北京”后,20天内访问量突破210万人次,“粉丝”近5万人。各地公安机关的微博在2010年如雨后春笋般出现。 微博并不“微”,这个其实很强大的网络舆论工具在2010年以爆炸性的发展速度一跃成为网络问政的新媒介,考验政府的执政智慧。
