摘要

本文介绍了在发展中的民主国家新加坡的背景下，公民参与的年轻人如何在社交媒体上参与新闻的研究。基于对20位年轻活动家的深度访谈，本书讨论了他们如何将社交媒体作为新闻来源，是什么促使他们参与多个社会新闻平台，以及社会新闻的使用如何融入他们的政治词汇。结果显示，尽管他们倾向于社交媒体上的新闻相关内容，但他们既不偏向于主流媒体，也不偏向于该媒体上的另类新闻提供者。他们的主要社会新闻平台被认为是传播新闻相关信息的最佳途径。然而，他们也担心自己的隐私，并采取了某些策略来缓解这种情况。尽管存在种种弊端，活动家们还是接受社会新闻作为政治社会化和动员的可行手段。

Social News Use & Citizen Participation among Young Activists in Singapore

This article presents a study of how civically engaged young adults engage with news on social media, within the context of a developing democracy – Singapore. Based on in-depth interviews with 20 young activists, it discusses how they approach social media as a source of news, what motivates them to engage in more than one social news platform, and how social news use fits into their political lexicon. The results reveal that despite their affinity towards news-related content on social media, they are neither partial towards mainstream, nor alternative news providers on this medium. Their primary social news platform is perceived to offer the best means to disseminate news-related information. However, they are also concerned about their privacy and practice certain strategies to mitigate this. Despite its drawbacks, the activists accept social news use as a viable means of political socialisation and mobilisation.
