摘要

中国的官方媒体是政府的喉舌。在COVID-19大流行等公共卫生危机期间,他们负责代表政府向公众传播重要信息。本研究调查了三家主要国有媒体(中央电视台、人民日报和新华社)在第一波COVID-19爆发期间发布的新浪微博帖子。从疫情爆发的每个阶段的帖子中提取语义网络,并确定代表传播主题的节点簇,包括冠状病毒调查、政府政策和应对努力、病例更新、预防和控制以及医疗。这些主题表明使用信息和支持策略来维持和增加政府的合法性。研究结果可为未来公共卫生危机期间的风险和危机沟通提供信息。

Managing government legitimacy during the COVID-19 pandemic in China: a semantic network analysis of state-run media Sina Weibo posts
Abstract China’s state-run media are the mouthpiece of the government. During public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, they are responsible for disseminating essential information to the public on behalf of the government. This study examined the Sina Weibo posts published by three leading state-run media entities (CCTV, People’s Daily, and Xinhua News Agency) during the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak. Semantic networks were extracted from posts during each stage of the outbreak, and clusters of nodes representing communication themes were identified, including investigations of the coronavirus, governmental policies and response efforts, case updates, prevention and control, and medical treatment. These themes indicate the use of information and bolstering strategies to maintain and increase government legitimacy. The findings can inform future risk and crisis communication during public health crises.
