Abstract

This study examines the impact of media mood on corporate ESG disclosure by analyzing a sample of A-share listed companies from 2021 to 2023. The research findings demonstrate that the quality of corporate ESG disclosure varies in response to changes in media mood and further reveal that media mood positively influences the quality of corporate ESG disclosure. Additionally, this paper confirms that the characteristics of media mood are independent regardless of whether they belong to the new media industry. The objective is to investigate how emotional characteristics portrayed in media affect the quality of ESG disclosure and provide a theoretical framework as well as practical guidance for establishing an effective ESG disclosure framework in China.
