Li Changchun, a ranking official ofthe Communist Party of China (CPC), Wednesday called for improving publicity work following the guidelines of the "Three Represents" concept.
Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remark while meeting directors of CPC publicity departments.
The Party leadership had placed great importance on publicity work and expected the CPC organs at all levels to do better still guided by the guidelines of the 16th CPC National Congress that was convened in mid November last year, he said.
The media were expected to not only cover the achievements of the people and the government, but also to monitor some problems and issues in society, he said.
The Communist Party of China with Hu Jintao as its general secretary attached great importance to the publicity work, Li noted.
As a major tool to serve the people, he went on to say, the publicity work should create a favorable social and cultural environment for the country's economic development and publicize new ideas and deeds turning up in all walks of life in society.
The Party organs and people in the media sphere should pay more attention to the real lives of common people, he added.
An upsurge in the study of the guidelines of the 16th CPC National Congress had been brought about, and this upsurge would be promoted and carried forward in a still more thorough-going way.
In the meanwhile, he said, by keeping to the correct orientation, methods employed in publicity work should continue to be improved and the standards set for guidance be further raised, so as to better reflect the excellent situation in China and the aspirations of its people, he said.
Moreover, Li calls on publicity officials and personnel to go deep in reality and among the masses of ordinary people so as to create more and still better works to promote socialist ethics and cultural development across the country.
