This paper runs a cross-sectional survey on middle China’s online social networks users to investigate how cost-benefit trade-off and fatalistic beliefs can provide insights on information disclosure. The following findings are highlighted. First, no correlation was found when only considering components of privacy calculus framework, reveling an omitted variable bias. Second, privacy concerns negatively related to information disclosure after considering effects of fatalistic beliefs, privacy paradox disappeared. Third, the privacy paradox re-occurred when considering interaction effects between fatalistic beliefs and privacy concerns on information disclosure, with increased fatalism leading the effects of privacy concerns to be broken. The biased cost-analysis found in this study provides the privacy paradox an alternative explanation – that is – the mental shortcuts can strongly interfere deliberate thinking process when making privacy-related decision. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
This paper conducts a process analysis on the case of a rural community in Hunan province using digital media to carry out "navel orange marketing", and studies the process and mechanism of empowering the community through digital media. In this case, collective media practice to promote community change can be classified as "media activism". However, this collective practice is not a traditional "media protest action", which is called "media integration action" in this paper. If "media protest action" mostly occurs in the field of social movement, it is antagonistic; "Media integration action" is mostly applied in the field of social development, emphasizing synergy. Vulnerable communities in "media integration action" can hardly attract the attention of the outside world and the media by highly visible topics or events like "media protest Action", but more rely on the long-term efforts of community members to form collective performance strength to enhance the influence of the community. In this case, "grassroots" people make use of digital media to "network", thus forming a social network of "internal strong relationship" and "external weak relationship", which enables scattered individuals to form a strong force of performance in the public space, empowering the disadvantaged community with power relations. Such actions can play an important role in poverty alleviation, environmental protection, public welfare and many other tasks that cannot be accomplished by individual efforts.
Based on the global public "Shanghai Culture" evaluation data, starting from cultural stereotype theory, media competition theory and opinion market theory, through regression and adjustment analysis, this research found that:（1） Cultural stereotype is the prerequisite for the spread of city image（Shanghai Culture: Shanghai style＞ Jiangnan＞ Red）.（2） The Internet, not social media, has the main effect on the differentiation of opinions on city evaluation.（3） From the perspective of medium, high levels of text and picture exposure will reduce the Shanghai evaluation of the high Internet users, and the high text exposure among the high Chinese social media users have lower Shanghai evaluations.
多年之前有一场关于《论语》研究学术价值的争辩.一种是通过研究《论语》而发表了论文、申请到了课题、晋升了职称,获得了个人的学术荣誉,但相关研究成果往往束之高阁.另外的一种研究路径重在宣讲《论语》,以其精华回应国人内心焦虑,进而获得社会追捧,成就一时热潮.对于这一争议,个人认为,《论语》的价值更重要的可能在于其社会传播,孔子当年周游列国的本意也多在于此.其次,《论语》传播应该是宣讲者自身体悟与实践的经验分享,即《论语》的研究不止于文本,对个体滋养更为重要,《论语》研究以知行合一为目标,而不仅仅是将《论语》作为学术工具书而已.
The topic of smartphone and rural children has become social focus. By adopting ethnography, this paper discusses the phenomenon of rural children’s smartphone practice from the perspective of sociology of childhood. This paper indicates that active phenomenon of smartphone practice of rural children actually is associated with its increasingly emerging new connotations: firstly, the collectivity of daily interaction declines while individualized form rises; secondly, the internal relations which transcend geographic and personal boundary based on village develop; thirdly, discloses and mediates the process of de-organization of rural children; fourthly, Brings out the concealed and neglected children’s everyday life and takes it to the forefront of rural children’s issue. Therefore, both inside and outside the village need to take new actions to response to the profound transformation that is currently taking place in rural children and its practical significance.
Since the digital age, the term "curation" from museology has been introduced by library information science, education, marketing and other disciplines as a solution to the overload of digital resources. The journalism industry also proposed the term "journalism curation" as a new professional imagination adapting to the transformation of the media ecology. After ten years of conceptual elaboration, theoretical construction, and empirical testing, the original concepts of curation and news communication are intertwined, and the driving curators, practical behavior, and content of curation have gradually evolved with the changes in the media ecology. This paper uses the deep learning neural network method to systematically excavate the latent semantic evolution between the concept of "curation" and other concepts after it entered the field of journalism and communication. The results of the study show that although the original intention of journalism and communication disciplines to capture the term "curation" is to find a solution for the transformation of the professional roles of journalists. Contrary to the expectations of the industry and academia, the semantics of "curation" is gradually moving away from professional journalists. The specific trend of curation could be describe as "de-professionalization of the curators", "de-publicity of curation behavior" and "platformization of curatorial contents".
Taking 46 media companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets as cases, this paper studies the necessary and sufficient conditions affecting the performance of listed media companies from the perspective of business model implementation and business model innovation, combined with technological innovation, and analyzes the reasons for the research results. It is found that value appropriation, as one of the business model implementation capabilities, is a necessary condition that affects the performance of listed media companies. There are 5 sufficient condition configurations for high performance listed media companies and 4 sufficient condition configurations for non-high performance listed media companies. There is asymmetry between the conditional configurations of high performance listed media companies and the conditional configurations of non-high performance listed media companies. Media companies should pay more attention to the implementation of business model while paying attention to the innovation of business model.
Overseas advertising books play an important role in the production and dissemination of knowledge in China’s advertising. Using quantitative statistical analysis methods, the article presents a comprehensive analysis of the translation and introduction of overseas advertising books since the new period. The study has found that the translated books have a wide range of contents, the number of imported books has gradually increased, the classic books have been reprinted many times, authors have both industry and academic backgrounds, most authors are from the USA, the UK, Japan and Germany, and the path of introduction has changed from "the Taiwan region first, then Chinese mainland" to directly introduced by mainland scholars. In order to maximize the dissemination effect of the translated books we should keep the balance of "classic" and "reference", "application" and "theory", "diversity" and "uniqueness".
With the awakening of adolescent’s independent consciousness, the collapse of parents’ authority in media technology, and the disagreement between parents and children on games, the implementation of game intervention strategies unilaterally formulated by parents has become difficult to implement. This study intends to start from the perspective of how adolescents view parental mediation. First, the article introduces the concept of adolescent mediation identity innovatively, that is, the degree to which adolescents recognize parental game intervention methods, and use empirical research to operationalize this concept into 5 dimensions. Secondly, use this variable as a mediating variable between parental active mediation methods and mediation effects, construct a predictive model of parental mediation effects, and collect 526 data to test the model. The results confirm that when adolescents perceive parental active mediation implementation methods, The more self-supporting type, the higher the degree of recognition of parental mediation, the less deceptive game behavior, and the higher the game literacy. This article finally discusses how to play the role of adolescents’ subjective initiative in game mediation.

From the perspective of field theory and feminism, this study takes 305 journalists as the research objects, adopts the empirical research methods of questionnaire survey and in-depth interview, explore the value and significance of digital capital in the journalistic field, as well as the interaction of the transformation process of digital capital into cultural capital, social capital and economic capital, explain the digital divide caused by gender in the journalistic field. The results show that there are gender differences in journalists’ digital capital. It also finds that digital capital has a predictive effect on cultural and social capital; however, male have a moderating role in digital capital’s prediction effect on cultural capital. Additionally, the second gender digital divide in the journalistic field reflected in content creation, high-level digital skills and use. The third digital divide may arise in the process of transforming digital capital into cultural capital, but at present, the third digital divide is not obvious.
Whether recommendation algorithms are responsible for the information cocoon is controversial, primarily because of the lack of direct experimental evidence and accurate operationalization. To verify the role that specific characteristics of recommendation algorithms play in the diversity of user information consumption, the researchers developed a news application that simulates different information distribution patterns and degrees of recommendation freedom and conducted a controlled laboratory experiment involving 113 participants. The current experimental results do not support blaming the information cocoon entirely on the recommendation mechanism itself but rather emphasize the human influence at user activity and algorithmic logic levels.

The question of "how digital labor forms value" is related to the rationality of "data commodities" in the mediated society. Taking Marx’s labor theory of value as a perspective, this paper analyzes the whole "value chain" formation mechanism of digital labor value commodity birth, value exchange and surplus value production in the mediated society. It is argued that digital labor and its commodities are new value representations and carriers that emerge under the conditions of mediated society, but their value production methods, production relations and exchange relations still follow the definition of "two factors of commodities" and "duality of labor" in Marx’s labor theory of value. The definition of "duality of labor" in Marx’s labor theory of value.
Regarding algorithms as communicative subjects is helpful to mine the deeper entanglement between the algorithms and people. Through in-depth interviews with 18 users of algorithm recommendation applications, this paper finds that there is a kind of special emotional practices between the algorithms and users, which is named as "algorithmic offence". Algorithmic offence presents multi-dimensional meanings: it is not only the direct negative emotional expression, but also constitutes the "deviation" and "arrogation" to the user’s agency. At the same time, it is also the manifestation of the collective narrative of "algorithmic criticism" at the individual level, which is embodied in profile distortion, context inappropriateness and privacy infringement. User agency is the main mechanism to deal with algorithmic offence, which is manifested in three aspects: mild resistance, self-adaptation and algorithmic literacy. By highlighting the value of emotional practice dimension, this paper hopes to promote algorithm studies to further return to daily life and subject experience.
