In recent years,journalism is facing a severe test,because of its incredible rate of changes in various aspects,and the studies of how to innovate the news industry become more and more.However,these researches are generally focused on finding new profit models or exploring new ways of production,it is rare to rethink news and its public significance from the perspective of news users.In fact,publicity is the most important cultural value of the news,that is,it can be associated with the everyday life of the user,and help the user position itself in a broader public world.Among the different kinds of news users,the new generation of migrant workers is a unique,important but forgotten group.In the past,the study of migrant workers proved two points:first,both in the world that media presented and the real world of life,they are easily overlooked;second,before adapting to urban culture,their social psychology is very anxious.Therefore,the news as a kind of information about"description of the world" that people need in modern life,whether it can reflect its public value,help migrant workers establish the correlation with the outside world after leaving their homeland into the city,which is a question practical and theoretical significant.The direction of innovation in journalism should not only be driven by business logic,but should also be settled in a group of ordinary users such as migrant workers to observe and analyze the public nature of the news and how it can be achieved.Based on these,this thesis mainly regards the new generation of migrant workers as the object of the study,and focuses on their practices of news using linked with their daily life.To reexamine the news and its public significance from their perspective,it is mainly positioned in their news habit and news talk by adopting the trend of the practice of the analysis of audiences' acceptance and the concept of"public connection".Through research,on the one hand,we found that the intergeneration,gender,work space had a significant impact on their news habits.While the workers use mobile phones and other media,but some of them do not use news.In the further research,we found that the large part of migrant workers have been shunned from the public practice of the current journalism,which causes them to think that serious news is irrelevant to them.On the other hand,we found that the use of news practices are deeply embedded in the new generation of migrant workers'daily communications,and are closely related to their status and their expectations for the future life.If they position themselves as "stranger",having the idea of "making money in the city,spending at home",this kind of migrant workers are not interested in using general news,and tend to consider the news is irrelevant to them;if they position themselves as "native",wanting to stay in the city,they would have a strong desire for information through news to expand their weak-relationship network.Considering the role of news which can not be ignored in the social expression,achieving social justice,and the real dilemma the media face,through the study,this paper believes that journalism of today should pay attention to the users' linking,the content of news should have more relevance with the users' daily life,that is,emphasizing the news' impact on the daily communication of users,so that more people could find their own through the news in the public world.It includes six parts in this thesis.Chapter one mainly introduces the origination,the use of news and the public study.Chapter two is the problems of this study,the research method and theory framework of this study.In chapter three,it mainly analyses the new generation of migrant workers'news habits in their daily life and that how different news users choose and make use of news according to the specific situation.And in chapter four,focusing on social network,it explores the degree of interpersonal relationship,how to obtain and understand the news by the new generation of migrant workers during the daily communication and the kind of connection formed.Chapter five is followed,in this chapter,it mainly reexamines the connotation of the news from the perspective of concept of public connection.The last part is the conclusion of this thesis.
