选取1995-2015年间的300个网络公共事件为案例,着重从议题特征、网民参与和政府回应三个角度分析其现状和趋势。研究发现,网络公共事件大都起源于现实的社会问题,尤其是官民冲突,社会强势阶层是事件的主要涉事群体,多数事件是传统媒体和网络互动的结果。大部分事件都是网民自发参与的,话语表达是其主要参与形式,只有少数事件能发展为线下行动。网民参与的主要目的是维权和表达,接近一半的事件能够得到解决。政府回应的速度总体偏慢,但近年来反应速度越来越快。政府回应主要是话语回应和行为回应,制度性解决问题的机制尚未建立。政府回应注重单向的信息发布,忽视双向沟通和对话,影响了事件的处置效果。 Taking the 300 online public events from 1995 to 2015 as cases, this paper analyzes the current situation and trend from three aspects: the features of the agenda, the participation of netizens and the government response.
