ObjectiveTo examine whether fact-checking COVID-19 fake news on social media corrects false beliefs among Chinese youths, and identifies factors influencing its effectiveness.MethodsWe conducted an experiment with 660 Chinese university students to compare the impact of exposure and no exposure to fact-checking on correcting misconceptions in the context of fake COVID-19 news.ResultsFact-checking significantly reduced belief in fake COVID-19 news among Chinese youths, particularly among those who initially believed it or were uncertain. In the absence of fact-checking, beliefs remained unchanged. Young people who perceived the negative impact of fake news on themselves were more receptive to fact-checking, enhancing its effectiveness.ConclusionThis study highlights the need to tailor fact-checking strategies to audience perceptions, showing that addressing perceived harm on themselves from fake news can boost acceptance of corrections. By examining fact-checking in a non-Western context, it deepens understanding of how cultural and situational factors influence the effectiveness of combating fake news.

There have been global regulatory debates and efforts aimed at holding digital platforms accountable for the public interest. Utilizing mixed methods of documentary research and expert interviews, this article examines how the Chinese digital giant Tencent leverages its adaptive capabilities for corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in response to increasingly stringent regulation in China. Specifically, it explores Tencent’s organizational restructuring, including the establishment of the sustainable social value (SSV) division, as well as the accompanying corporate practices and discursive strategies aimed at enhancing its legitimacy. As an exemplar of the “institutional chameleon,” Tencent has deftly navigated regulatory waters through organizational metamorphosis. However, while Tencent’s enhanced CSR initiatives have certainly yielded some social benefits, the SSV initiatives are increasingly emerging as a new business frontier for the company, leveraging its vast infrastructural capacities to capitalize on the very social fabric it purports to support. This underscores the complexities and contradictions inherent in its CSR practices and the significance of the intrinsic logic of digital platforms as a modern business.

Using a between-subjects experimental design with 660, this study investigated the impact of exposure and non-exposure to fact-checking on people’s rectifying behaviors in response to COVID-19 fake news. We found that participants who read COVID-19 fake news accompanied by true fact-checking information believed that the news stories had a greater impact on others than on themselves. This phenomenon is commonly known as the third-person effect (TPE). When exposed to COVID-19 fake news with fact-checking information (vs. fake news with no fact-checking information), youths perceived a less negative influence on themselves and consequently showed weaker intentions to correct fake news on social media. Conversely, they perceived that the fake news had a greater negative influence on others, leading to stronger support for regulating fake news. This study contributes to the existing literature on the third-person effect and fact-checking of fake news in non-Western social media environments.

Based on the third-person effect hypothesis–people’s belief that the media influences others more than it influences themselves–we administered a questionnaire to Chinese teens ( N = 1,538) to discover the impacts of exposure to internet pornography on perceptions of pornography and attitudes toward censorship of pornography. The results validated the third-person effect hypothesis and showed that teens’ subjective perceptions of what constitutes internet pornography and their exposure to it are critical variables for predicting perceptions of negative impacts of pornography on self and others and affirmative attitudes toward censorship. The study also found that the impact on self is the best variable for predicting attitudes toward censorship. The discussion is framed in the context of Chinese collective culture and conservative attitudes toward sex.

Emotions shared by posters on social media can have a profound impact on individuals and society. This was particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. To examine the types, trends, and dynamics of emotions communicated by the public, government, and media, this study collected 67,689 public posts, 36,740 government posts, and 126,988 media posts on Sina Weibo during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The vector autoregression model and Granger causality analysis were used to measure affective agenda networks and examine affective agenda dynamics. The findings show that the public, government, and media predominantly expressed positive emotions on Sina Weibo. The findings also reveal the significant influence of government emotions on media emotions, which subsequently affects public emotions. This study extends agenda-setting theory by integrating the dimension of emotional contagion. It underscores the potential for government and media to shape public emotions during health crises in order to maintain social order and increase compliance with emergency policies.

媒体平台化1.0阶段,强调内容聚合分发、完成生产流程再造,但媒体自建的客户端平台逐渐暴露出用户数、影响力、活跃度有限等问题.目前媒体平台化开启2.0阶段,媒体自建平台应在数量上做减法、在内容上做精品、在定位上做升级、在技术上做探索、在服务上做连接,同时要在嵌入用户数字生活的场景中满足用户的信息与服务需求,以内容供给侧结构性改革助力国家治理现代化.

意识形态在特定国家和制度情境中具有整合社会观念、巩固现行制度、强化政治认同的重要作用。本研究认为,要建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态,必须要以建设全媒体传播体系为重要抓手,着力解决社会主义意识形态传播过程中的区隔问题。本研究提出,结合数字时代新闻舆论工作格局的发展现状,应从群体区隔、话语区隔与舆论区隔这三个维度来把握区隔问题。通过完善全媒体传播体系的社会整合能力,从传播主体、传播渠道和传播内容三个环节强化社会主义意识形态传播的全过程。

In addressing the current challenge, this research thoroughly investigates the intricate interplay between media, culture, and mineral efficiency in 23 diverse Asian economies, classified based on their income levels. Leveraging data spanning from 2005 to 2020 and utilizing logarithmic transformations, this study navigates the complex web of relationships. The results highlight a notable positive impact of media penetration on mineral efficiency, particularly in high and upper middle-income nations that boast advanced media infrastructure and higher levels of education. Concurrently, increased government expenditure on media amplifies mineral efficiency within these contexts. The influence of advertising, however, varies depending on consumer behavior, media infrastructure, and market maturity. Control variables bring to light the negative impact of population size and the positive correlation of clean energy with mineral efficiency in high and upper middle-income economies. Formulating tailored policies for media-driven enhancement of mineral efficiency is crucial for both income groups, with a focus on strategic campaigns, cultural initiatives, and educational programs.

In a society where the Internet platform has become a digital life infrastructure, emotion has become an important factor driving communication and political development. Through combing the relevant literature, this paper finds that there are three theoretical paths for emotional research in the current social sciences: the relationship between the technical architecture of social media platforms and user emotional expression based on availability theory; the critical orientation based on emotional systems and the theory of communication capitalism Emotional research; digital propaganda and emotional research based on identity politics. Based on China’s socio-political context, this article believes that future emotional research should integrate technology, capital, and power, establish an internal and complete system for emotional research in the field of communication, explore the causal mechanism between emotional expression and social changes, and expand emotional research space.
