论文摘要
Covid-19导致了一种不良血症,它可能侵蚀公共信任,阻碍病毒遏制并超过大流行本身。不断发展且分散的媒体景观是传播错误信息的关键驱动力。使用Tencent的事实检查平台确定的错误信息和微博上的帖子,我们的结果表明,错误信息的演变遵循发出的注意事故周期,与城市封锁,治愈,预防和学校重新开放等主题有关。权威的来源对这些主题进行了权衡,但是他们的影响使人们的现有信仰和文化实践变得复杂。最后,社交媒体与已建立或传统媒体系统有复杂的关系。有时他们会互相加强,但总的来说,社交媒体可能会有自己的主题周期。我们的发现阐明了在19日期间误解的独特特征,并提供了对中国和整个世界各地的错误信息的见解。
COVID-19 resulted in an infodemic, which could erode public trust, impede virus containment, and outlive the pandemic itself. The evolving and fragmented media landscape is a key driver of the spread of misinformation. Using misinformation identified by the fact-checking platform by Tencent and posts on Weibo, our results showed that the evolution of misinformation follows an issue-attention cycle, pertaining to topics such as city lockdown, cures, and preventions, and school reopening. Sources of authority weigh in on these topics, but their influence is complicated by peoples' pre-existing beliefs and cultural practices. Finally, social media has a complicated relationship with established or legacy media systems. Sometimes they reinforce each other, but in general, social media may have a topic cycle of its own making. Our findings shed light on the distinct characteristics of misinformation during the COVID-19 and offer insights into combating misinformation in China and across the world at large.
