The Public Account "The True Story Project" And Non-Fiction Writing In New Media Platforms

Since the “Non-fiction” column was set up in Journal of People’s Literature in 2010,the localization of non-fiction writing in China has gone through more than ten years.In this process,the new media represented by “The True Story Project” gradually took over the baton of promoting non-fiction writing from the traditional print media,bringing opportunities for the second rise of non-fiction writing.In the new media environment,non-fiction writing is not a simple reproduction of the past in Journal of People’s Literature,but an innovative rewriting from production to text writing on the basis of theoretical inheritance,which pushes non-fiction writing from serious style to popularization.In the past research results,the academic community’s systematic research on non-fiction writing in new media is still insufficient.On the one hand,academic circles pay less attention to the field of new media when discussing non-fiction.On the other hand,most researchers of new media non-fiction writing focus on the field of news communication,and are not associated with the characteristics of non-fiction writing itself.Therefore,it is necessary for us to re-examine the core of non-fiction writing at the node of development in this decade and explore its multiple features.This thesis takes the public account "True Story Project" as the research object to cut into the proposition of new media non-fiction writing,and uses text analysis,case analysis and other methods to creatively sort out the development process of non-fiction in China from a holistic perspective.This thesis tries to dialectically analyze the new media non-fiction writing,a new literary phenomenon,along with the logical thinking of generation mechanism,production system,text construction,narrative expression and insufficient practice.This thesis first clarifies the basic concepts of "non-fiction writing","new media" and "public account" in the introduction part,briefly introduces the uniqueness of "true story project" and the reasons for its selection.I point out the reason for the topic of this thesis by elaborating the research background,sorting out domestic and foreign research results and deficiencies,and looking forward to the significance and value of the research.The main text consists of five chapters.Chapter one explores the origin of phenomena from the perspectives of internal mechanism and external context.It innovatively uses the method of thirds to completely comb out the development course of non-fiction writing in China.The second chapter analyzes the platform and production system of "The True Story Project" from three aspects: writing mode,activity organization and commercial realization.I popularize the system how guarantee the stable development of non-fiction in new media and non-fiction from the writing subject.The third chapter based on the direction of text construction,from the three dimensions of physics,rationality and emotion,I analyze the content organization framework of “Authenticity” as the core of the non-fiction writing of “The True Story Project”.It distinguishes itself from classical non-fiction in content organization,reflecting the transformation from elite literature to individualized popular style.The fourth chapter interprets how “The True Story Project” realizes the narrative strategy for the purpose of "storytelling" from the three aspects of "sense of reality","story" and "fragmentation",aim to analyze how to strike a balance between stylistic features and popular aesthetic taste.The fifth chapter takes the value of "publicity" as the core of criticism to reflect on the alienation and limitation of non-fiction writing in new media.Over-highlighting individual writing and emotional catharsis,solidification of writing mode and even false writing are all problems that need to be solved urgently in non-fiction.In general,non-fiction writing of new media is an important part of the practice of non-fiction in China.New media has injected new vitality into the "weak" non-fiction in the traditional paper media.It not only inherits the characteristics of reality,problem awareness,action and intervention requirements,but also tries to adapt to the public aesthetic taste of the literary attributes of new media.In the process of inheritance and alienation,the innovation and reform of non-fiction writing is mainly manifested as the popularization trend of non-fiction.From the expansion of the writing subject to the adaptation of text construction and narrative strategies to the daily and fragmented public aesthetic,non-fiction seems to be more "fashionable" rather than "serious".Although the commodity attribute of literature has eroded the public value of non-fiction to some extent,new media such as "The True Story Project" has become a model of non-fiction cross-media production,expanded the living environment of non-fiction,established a new production system of non-fiction,guaranteed the stable development of non-fiction writing in new media,and also explored a way for literature to cope with the challenges of new media.
