Study on the Logic of Media Construction of Daily Photography in the Social Media Field
The singularity,unidirectionality and privacy of the production,dissemination and preservation of photographic ima-ges have shifted to a pan-crowd,decentralization and publicity,which means that photography has been redefined as a multi-participant practical activity.The shift in authorship of documentary photography,the expansion of photographic perspectives,and the publicisation of personal visual archives have made photography not only a process of information production and dissemi-nation,but also an important medium for constructing people's perceptions of reality and practical activities.In this study,sever-al exemplary tag images from Chinese social media are selected to explore the role of daily images and social media in construc-ting people's perception of reality,agenda-setting,and practical behaviors.The public are no longer silent audiences but active actors in interpreting and constructing meanings,but at the same time,this also reinforces the attributes of these images as"products of the cultural industry",and the algorithmically constructed frameworks are still potentially risky.
