Research Of New 'News Production' Based On Machine Algorithm And Gatekeeper Theory

With the development of mobile Internet and big data technology,news practice has more possibilities.Big data mining technology applied to the field of news dissemination and influence the news production and distribution.News Apps becomes an important way to obtain information.Aggregated News Apps with its intelligent recommendation has been widely recognized by the audience.The prominent changes in this new 'news production' let "artificial" and "machine algorithm" together as news gatekeeper.This paper take Aggregated News Apps 'Toutiao' as an Example,according to the research level of gatekeeper theory that from the individual to the organization to the social control,analysis the gatekeeping of news production process based on the machine algorithm(new 'News production'),to further explore the gatekeeper theory.In the new 'news production' field,the gatekeeper's role has changed: Gatekeepers to focus on the machine;'Elite selection'becomes 'user choice';Strengthen the 'twoway check' and the 'group check'.These changes weaken the authority and professional of the traditional gatekeeper.Internet Technology Company as the new "news production" organization,analysis the new "news production" gatekeeping process,found that the traditional gatekeeping mode were affected and impact: The news production and news distribution separated;'Check in advance' transfer to 'check after the event';Reduce gatekeeping normative,gatekeeping process becomes more secretive;Agenda setting right is falling in the transition.As the standard of gatekeeping,the estimate of news value has also changed in the news production.In addition,the macro political,economic,cultural and other aspects of the society affect the external control of the new "news production".In the news practice based on machine learning algorithm,the boundary of the concept of news production is worth discussing.At the same time,the weakening of gatekeeping also caused a variety of problems.The machine cannot hold all the gatekeeper functions,the algorithm is difficult to lead the news value.This paper argues that only the combination of human and technology can create a healthy information environment.
