Specific Departments and Positions
Taking a look at Xinhua's recruitment program, the 2012 recruitment basically covers all departments of Xinhua's head office. According to my feeling, if you look at the departments, the editorial departments (Domestic, International, External, Editorial, Sports, China Securities Journal, Information Editorial Department, Xinhua, Reference News, Half-Moon Talk, and Hope) are better than the management departments (e.g., the Office, Technical Bureau, etc., including the marketing department). Personally, I think journalists are the best, followed by editors, marketers, technicians and grassroots managers, if you break it down by position.
The status of Xinhua reporters is very high, especially at the local level, and many municipal party secretaries and mayors are afraid of Xinhua reporters. However, the work of reporters is quite tiring, and they often need to travel, and according to the current appraisal method, the treatment of journalists is directly linked to the amount of their releases, so journalists are also very tiring, but I personally would like to be a reporter of Xinhua News Agency very much.
The editorial work of Xinhua News Agency is not quite the same as that of general newspapers and periodicals, because it is to send out press releases, so there is no great flexibility for newspaper editors, and it is basically a simple editing of the releases sent back by journalists, so I personally think that the editorial work is rather boring, but the advantage lies in the comparative ease of work, such as the editorial work of the International Department, which basically is to work on six day shifts and then six night shifts, and the rest of the month can rest, and the salary is not very high. All can rest, and the salary is not less than others.
Marketing has not been carried out in Xinhua for several years, so the status of marketing staff in Xinhua is not high, and the current marketing system basically maintains the appearance of a bureaucracy, which is far away from the kind of marketing of large companies.
Income and treatment
At present, after several years of reform, Xinhua's income has been basically equalized across all departments, with the Domestic Department and the Reference News slightly higher than the others, though it is said to be adjusted to be the same as the others. But from the point of view of the cost-effectiveness of the salary, the reporter more or less will have some gray income, but mainly senior journalists, young journalists go down to the interview is at best to bring some souvenirs and so on. Editors because they can take about half a month off a month, so the income is considered high. Currently the marketing staff is busy, and compared to other companies, the treatment can only be regarded as the lower middle level.
Specific to each person's level of treatment, the current Xinhua News Agency employees currently have about three kinds of establishment, the first is the business establishment, the basic salary income is in accordance with the national income standards for employees of relevant institutions to go, every two years to raise a level, there is a housing provident fund, there is no old age insurance, unemployment insurance and medical insurance, but rather, there is a retirement pension, public medical care, the establishment is also basically not the problem of unemployment; The second is the enterprise establishment, need to sign a contract with the community, three insurance and one gold, income level and career establishment is also basically no difference; the third is the contract labor, it has nothing to do with college graduates.
Taking myself as an example, I graduated from NPC in 2005 with a master's degree, and my income basically consists of the following parts.
Master's degree is about 595 a month, with work experience, every two years to raise a level; a variety of subsidies: a wide range of subsidies, but it is estimated that ten years to raise the standard, for example, I have only 70 per month housing subsidies, which adds up to about a few hundred dollars; income outside the salary: the main part of the income is the extra-salary income, including bonuses and the like, which is basically according to level of income. The income is basically according to the level of the hair, also every two years to raise a level.
All of these together, I currently get 3100 dollars per month in the payroll card, deduct 304 dollars of provident fund, the original establishment of 500 dollars per month and housing subsidies, and now may be raised to 700, but this part of the money can only be taken once a year. In addition to the end of the year, each department will also have a year-end bonus according to the assessment method, so far I heard the most 18,000, we are basically 13,000, 4 or so, these are the basic treatment of the Xinhua News Agency.
Other treatment
Many people think that the treatment of Xinhua News Agency must be particularly good, in fact, it is not so. 2003 before the Xinhua News Agency have welfare housing, but from 2003 onwards there is no, the society also does not provide dormitory for the new staff, you need to rent a house to live. In the Xinhua News Agency cafeteria to eat is to spend money, and the school cafeteria is almost the same, their own meal card to save money, once mentioned to change to free lunch, but has not been realized. Treatment is also these, and then there are other issues, such as children's school enrollment, Xinhua News Agency have their own counterparts in primary and secondary schools. But this is farther away from us.
