Influence of Shaanxi People’s Livelihood News Report on Social Audience’s Participation in Public Affairs
This article aims to explore the influence of Shaanxi people’s livelihood news reports on social audience’s participation in public affairs, focusing on the mechanism of news types, communication channels and audience cognition. The research uses the combination of questionnaire survey (n = 523) and in-depth interview, with the help of multiple regression model and intermediary effect analysis, and verifies the following assumptions: (1) People’s livelihood news can obviously enhance the public’s attention to public affairs; (2) Different news contents have different influences on participation behavior; (3) Compared with traditional media, new media can stimulate the public’s willingness to participate. The analysis shows that 62.3% of the respondents who pay attention to the news of “policy interpretation” have participated in public affairs, which is significantly higher than that of “emergencies” (43.1%). In addition, 72.4% of new media users express their opinions or participate in discussions through online platforms, which is much higher than 41.3% of traditional media users. In addition, attention and trust play a partial intermediary role between news reporting and participation. The research shows that optimizing the content design and communication strategy of people’s livelihood news can improve the level of public participation to a certain extent.
