Abstract

When sudden crisis events occur, the existence of constructive news provides a positive and effective way for the media to correctly guide public opinion and perform the function of social governance. This paper intends to use a questionnaire survey to explore whether constructive news has an impact on the public's anxiety psychology. It is found that after the occurrence of sudden crisis events, people's anxiety dissipates significantly due to exposure to constructive news diversion. Based on this. This article concludes that constructive news can build a positive public opinion atmosphere and relieve public anxiety during sudden crisis events.
