Abstract

In the age of convergence media, how can the news media report social emergencies in a more constructive way, how can they intervene and participate in the governance of social opinion, and how can they contribute to the formation, analysis and solutions of the causes of disasters and accidents? In this paper, ten video news reports with high overall popularity are selected from the "TikTok" platform, and the short video news reports on the coal mine collapse in Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia, are analysed in terms of the topic, content, form, angle and target audience of the reports, in order to explore the role of constructive journalism in the news reporting of disaster events. It is found that there is a contradiction between authenticity and timeliness, between "acceleration" and "alienation" in news production and between "rationality" and "emotion" in reporting. The balance between "rational" and "emotional" reporting. On this basis, we reflect on and explore the possibilities of constructive news reporting and the progress of news production.
