Background

How to realize the authenticity of news depends on the social environment and the authenticity of news practice. Only by understanding the public's acceptance psychology and the motivation and way of participating in news activities, can we better clarify these problems, including the organic nature of news reality and how to reach an organic agreement on news reality. This paper attempts to reveal how the theory of organic news truth is realized in the current Chinese news practice. The anxiety caused by news is analyzed.

Research Objects and Methods

Using the method of research integration, this paper analyzes the relevant literature of news reality. This paper selects 51 papers on news authenticity from CNKI, classifies them according to authentic discourse, and makes a horizontal comparison. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences of research hypotheses. Then, we take the news practice of Wuhan Red Cross Society during the 2019 coronavirus disease as a sample for analysis, use the keyword “Wuhan Red Cross Society” to search the texts published on microblog, wechat and Baidu from January 20 to March 1, 2020, and track them to ensure their authenticity. Take 300 news, netizen comments and posts as the analysis object; Streamline it into 37 thematic activities; These original articles and their disseminators are listed in chronological order, and then cross compared; By analyzing the communication timing and information flow of different subjects and comparing the attribute framework between texts to describe the realization process of the concept of organic truth, we can find out what kind of news truth is described by different communicators. In order to investigate people's response to events, a coping style scale was developed. By consulting relevant literature, forming an open-ended questionnaire, sorting out the recovered effective scale, analyzing the data semantics, and compiling the initial measurement table of stress coping style on the basis of previous theoretical concepts; Secondly, according to the items of the scale, the preliminary test is carried out, and the data are analyzed by item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and reliability test; Finally, form a formal scale, test and restore the formal scale, and conduct confirmatory factor analysis and reliability and validity test.

Results

The study found that many subjects had different concerns about Wuhan red cross news. Some concerns were not reported as news at first, but expressed in the form of questions or angry posts; When their concerns gain momentum on social media in the form of posts, they force the news media to report their concerns; In social media, news text becomes the medium of dialogue between different subjects. With the deepening of the dialogue, the real picture of the news becomes more and more vivid. The results showed that the improvement of comprehension information index was positively correlated with the regulation of depression. The more depressive symptoms, the less cognitive reappraisal, and the more cognitive immersion, expression inhibition and expression catharsis were used; When regulating positive emotions, adolescents had more depressive symptoms, less use of cognitive reappraisal, more use of cognitive immersion and expression inhibition, but there was no significant difference in the use of expression catharsis. The results show that emotional titer can affect the strategy use of adolescents with different depressive symptoms, and the impact of emotional titer on different strategies is different. The analysis found that compared with cognitive reappraisal and cognitive immersion, adolescents with different depressive symptoms were more likely to be affected by emotional titer.

Conclusion

This paper holds that through technical authorization, multiple subjects have obtained the technical conditions to participate in news production. The news readers not only explore the truth and supplement the new psychological problems in the news, but also promote them to actively explore and supplement the truth in the news text, so as to keep the new narrative structure. This paper does not fully discuss the regulatory means of multi-agent news behavior. At the same time, the media should strengthen the positive cognitive education of the masses. Whether and how to let multiple subjects jointly discover and disseminate the truth, rather than fabricating and distorting the truth for their own special purposes, needs further discussion.
