Abstract

The public’s sense of social security reflects the degree of stability in people’s lives. Nowadays, with the development of technology, traditional media are gradually replaced by network media, while the relevant institutional norms have not been developed in parallel. This paper takes the dissemination of the Tangshan violence incident that became a sensation on the Internet as an example, and studies the changes in the mainstream network media and young women in mainland China about the sense of social security after learning about the Tangshan violence incident spread on the Internet by means of a questionnaire survey. This paper also conducts a literature review of numerous scholars’ studies, and through the previous studies, it concludes the current situation that network media lacks institutional regulation, the news is pan-politicized and presents a mirror image of false prosperity. In addition, even though women’s voices in online public opinion are enhanced by the anonymized online environment, they are still subject to invisible discrimination and “male gaze”, which are the reasons that affect women’s sense of social security. This paper supply to and strengthens the previous viewpoints, and shows that people are aware of the commercialization of real news by network media, but they are still affected by such news. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance the system and regulations governing network media, to strengthen the professionalism and ethics of journalists, and to promote equal discourse rights and care for the weak.
