Death is the inevitable result that everyone needs to face.It is the common cultural motif of human society,but it is also a taboo for social culture.The traditional media's presentation of death issues is restricted by such ethical and professional norms,from the amount of information disseminated to the specific details.With the advent of the Internet age,the new media presents the environment for death issues.More free?able to disseminate information to the audience in the fir-st time,let the audience know the truth of the specific event.But how does the new media present the issue of death?Is it creating fear of death or deconstructing fear of death?How does the audience interpret the issue of death?These issues are affecting the way new media practitioners present death issues.This study combines the"China Internet Public Opinion Analysis Report"and Baidu Boiling Point List to comprehensively select eight typical death events,from 2013 to 2017,and add two more events in the new media in the first half of 2018.-Beijing middle age under the flu and Jiangge case as a sample of resear-ch events.At the same time,the above events are integrated with the WeChat public number and related texts with high readings in Weibo to establish a text library.Using text analysis and in-depth interviews,this paper summarizes the framework characteristics of the death issues in the new media environment and the framework characteristics of the audience interpretation.On this basis,it analyzes the factors affecting the new media's death issues.It can provide reference for the contradiction between objective display and detailed description of new media balance and rational reporting of death issues.Macroscopically,the choice of death issues is biased towards abnormal deaths and"tags".This kind of death issue has“Novelty"and has stronger communication power.On the micro level,it is divided into three main frameworks.That is,to avoid death issues,to amplify the details of death and to question the cause of death,to avoid the death problem is to eliminate the death fear of the audience,and to amplify the details of death,the audience's anxiety about death is hidden in the text,and the fear of death is constructed.The question of the cause of death often challenges the undeirlying causes behind the incident and promotes the continuous improvement of the social supeirvision system.The audience's interpretation framework is divided into thiree different interpretation modes:compromise interpretation,co-directional interpretation and confrontation interpretation.Whether the audience will accept the death theme will be interpreted according to the established framework of the media,or completely abandon the original framework construction.The framework is affected by the fear of mobility.The research is divided into four chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which mainly includes the research background and significance,research status and research methods,and summarizes the selection methods of the text.The second chapter constructs the fr-amework of death issues in the new media environment through specific content analysis.The subject pays more attention to abnormal deaths and deceased people with"tags".The theme framework is mainly divided into avoiding death issues,amplifying death details and questioning.In order to ensure the objectivity of the study,the interviewees were selected to understand the way'they interpret the death issues.The third chapter discusses the content presentation of texts,pictures,symbols and prototypes from specific samples.The fourth chapter is a comprehensive study of the second chapter and the third chapter.It analyzes the factors affecting the spread of death issues from the personal and social perspectives,and makes some reflections.The presentation of death issues in the new media environment often has contradictions.Sex,and media practitioners need to balance the pros and cons,spread the news truthfully and objectively,and avoid putting the audience in panic and anxiety about death.
