Abstract

In the era of mobile Internet, social media has increasingly become an important channel for users’ news participation, and news sharing has also become an important part of users’ news participation. In social media, ordinary users play the role of secondary gatekeepers in the process of sharing news, and are influenced by certain value elements. This article is based on Schlard’s theory of news value, selecting 15 WeChat users as research subjects. Through in-depth interviews, we understand the news value elements perceived by users and explore how their judgments of news value elements guide them to forward news. Research has found that users’ news sharing behavior is guided by value factors such as situational applicability, public connectivity, and normative pressure.
