Factors In?uencing the Deliberation in Microblogs:A Case Study of“Beijing Taxi Fare Adjustment”
The study focus on the case of Sina microblogs spreading around the topic of “Beijing taxi fare adjustment”. By the content analysis method, the paper tries to evaluate whether the micro-blog content is deliberative on the following criteria: the representativeness and equilibrium of participant pool, suf?ciency and interactivity of information, and the in?uence of micro-blog. Based on the descriptive statistics,it comes to conclusion that micro-blog facilitated the public expression,but because of the low-level representativeness and equilibrium, lacking discourse, and gloomy influence, it is hard to say the micro-blog content is high deliberative. By now, it seems that the microblog is full of self-expression,but lacking of communication based on willing to listen,understanding and thinking which lead to mutual agreement.
