News as Experience:Generation and Expression of Audience's Mediatized Emotion
With the emergence of the"emotional turn"in the humanities,emotions have transcended the boundaries of individuality and biology,acquiring a distinct social nature.In the digital age's news ecosystem,emotional discourse has become a prominent feature of public discourse spaces.Following the linguistic and cultural turns of emotion,it becomes imperative to contemplate the issue of mediatization.Moving from emotions in the media to mediated emotions,it is acknowledged that media serves not merely as a vessel for carrying emotions but also influences their generation and expression through its structural characteristics.As news becomes an experiential journey,audience emotions are shaped not only by emotional discourse within news texts but may also contribute to broader societal attitudes.In the realm of mediated emotional expression,news avoidance stemming from individual experiences has emerged as a noteworthy negative emotional phenomenon.This reflects audiences transitioning from being mere"information subjects"in the"cognitive age"to becoming"emotional subjects"in the"experience age."Mediated emotional expressions grounded in collective representations carry more profound social implications,imbuing them with moral and emotional elements.They represent a form of healthy rationality and hold the potential for emotional commonality.
