New media is really a high-risk profession! As a new media person, working overtime and staying up late is the norm, and anxiety and stress are also the norm!
But is it really worth it to overdraw your life for work or even for dreams?
New media people have 100 kinds of pressure.
The media industry is a highly irregular job. According to the data of China Media People's Health Questionnaire Survey in 20 16, over 80% of the respondents usually work for more than 8 hours, over 60% of the respondents go to bed after 0: 00 every night, and more than half of them stay up because of finding topics and writing articles, followed by emotional irritability and insomnia. In recent years, we can often see the news of sudden death or suicide in the media. I only collected a small part: although the cases collected are not all new media people, have you found them? During the long holiday, many people in the official WeChat account insisted on working overtime. Some operators said that the National Day lasted for eight days, which was sour and cool ... It can be seen that the work pressure of new media people is great.
Life Times reported that the 10 industry, which is the most prone to sudden death, ranked fourth in the list of media people. Let's take a look at the pressure of new media people. There are many things at work, and the pressure mainly comes from the inability to break through and upgrade the content of WeChat official account, as well as the troubles about adding powder. I am thinking about solutions every day, and I have tried some, but the effect is poor. Reason: Anyone can do it because of lack of ability and professionalism. Stress is a combination of several things. I interviewed a very accomplished media teacher before, and the end of the interview was: Looking forward to the masterpiece. I have been under great pressure and dare not write this "masterpiece" for fear that poor products will disappoint other teachers. Besides work, I have some important and urgent decisions that have been delayed.
The pressure actually comes from two aspects. One is intangible and the other is tangible. What is invisible is all aspects: all kinds of things in the workplace. The tangible pressure is KPI, reading and so on. Pressure is how to find this topic, how to make products meet the market, meet the needs of the public, and cater to everyone's reputation. Public tastes are fickle.
Mainly the pressure of writing, each first draft may take two weeks, and each draft is more than three or four thousand words, but the more dry goods, the less reading. Sometimes it is easy for me to write an article in an hour or two, which is 10w+, but if I spend a lot of time writing an article, the reading volume may not be so high. In fact, it is normal for new media people to be under pressure. After all, we are either chasing hot spots or on the way to chasing hot spots. But if you have a series of problems, such as irregular diet, chaotic work and rest, nervous, poor eyesight, staying up late, insomnia and so on. You must find a way to solve them.
