Weibo, understanding the "other eye" of Chinese society

Deep analysis in fact, from the "Death of Jin Yong," The Micro-blog rumors of the first case we can see that, as long as the public itself in the micro-blog activity is high, the border is strong, then the microblogging rumors control is not difficult. Frankly speaking, I have always had some prejudices about the ecological environment of public opinion before seeing the data of the "Gazette Survey" of the Beijing News.　　In the premise of encouraging the public to fully express and airing, how to ensure the accuracy of information in public opinion is actually a very difficult but very important proposition, because the expression of freedom is the foundation of the civilized society, but the trust relationship between people is the important guarantee of free expression. Until I saw this survey data. The data on the micro-blog in the in-depth investigation of the rumor has fully responded to the recent microblogging of a hot issue ——— micro-blog rumors. This issue has a long history, but also a lot of controversy, various management claims are constantly emerging.　　But the survey data show the simplest truth, let people find out the truth, in fact, is the best micro-blogging education. The data show that most of the microblogging users surveyed are not indifferent to the misrepresentation of Weibo information and will not be powerless. They can at least use their own actions to mitigate the social hazards of misinformation. such as the deletion of false micro-blog, blocked rumors and so on. They may not be opinion leaders, but a little more than a rumor can be forwarded to a less biased spread. This is a very precious discipline in public opinion.　　In fact, from the "Death of Jin Yong," The Micro-blog rumors of the first case we can see, as long as the public itself in the micro-blogging activity is high, the border is strong, then the elimination of Weibo rumors is not difficult. On the other hand, it can be seen from the data that more and more public can understand the complexity of today's Chinese society through the few rumors in Weibo. Weibo does become the "other eye" of society. Any kind of education in the state of the nation, in fact, does not have a deeper understanding of the public on Weibo, nor does any media literacy education be more comprehensive than the public's personal experience on Weibo. In the past, many people's understanding of Chinese society may be biased towards a simple, two-dollar confrontation, or. But a society with diversified interests is bound to be a noisy society, and the space for speech is the same. The letter is not as good as books, do not believe that micro-bo can not be lasting.　　More often, the public needs to "self-evident", with its own rational judgment to test the reality, although there are always some beyond the imagination of the phenomenon around us. While we are all willing to believe that inaccurate sources of information are rare, inaccurate information in the short term will not go away, both on Weibo and in traditional media. Regardless of public power or industry self-discipline, the restrictions on micro-blogging rumors can not catch up with each citizen's own calm. In fact, I have personal experience in this self-ming self-discipline, in recent months, I have been in the attention of the microblogging forwarding, see more "proof", "Ask the truth", rather than the beginning of the "decisive forwarding", "Anger turn". The question that is not answered in this set of data, of course, is what the public is willing to assume for the spread of rumorsIn fact, although everyone began to self discipline, the consequences of false information are not willing to bear. Weibo is very important for Chinese society because it does provide a better and more comprehensive expression of public opinion, a process that is irreversible once it is opened. In this process, we are also learning to defend everyone's freedom of expression, but the way to defend is everyone's responsibility to express.　　The Beijing News "Gazette survey" given this group of data, but also give us a revelation, "false" will not go far, but "true" but need to retain their own.
