Abstract

The anxiety brought by the crisis event makes the looming identity crisis more obvious, but the resolution of the crisis requires a rational public deliberation process. The media has a role in calming public sentiment and contributing to public deliberation by disclosing the progress and guiding public opinion in a timely manner. Covid-19, as a worldwide crisis event, greatly restricted people’s daily lives, and social media has become the preferred platform for the public to express their attitudes about various events and public health policies. The promoting effect on public deliberation of media during Covid-19 has become more prominent. Therefore, this paper takes Covid-19 as an example to analyze the problems exposed by the media and put forward measures to better facilitate public deliberation during crisis events.
