Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 國家發展研究所 === 102 === After China’s market reform and open to the outside world, the China regime transform from totalitarian to post-totalitarian, and the development of China media have changed a lot for the past ten years. Because new media has developed day by day, including Internet, smart phone communication software ( line, whats app, wechat) etc., traditional media has faced a brand new challenge as well. The purpose of the current study is to explore impacts of Information sources on political trust in Mainland China. We use 3 Stage Surveys Of East Asia Democratic Studies, choose a few relative questions inside to verify our assumptions. Generally the outcome of this study support the assumptions as well, including :
1. the citizens in Mainland China who use the new media,including internet, text messages, personal communication, and non-official messages, are getting more and more from 2002 to 2011.
2. from 2007 to 2011, less and less citizens in Mainland China consider that the most importand channel to get the messages is the traditional-official media, including TV,newspapers, and radio. On the other hand, more and more citizens in Mainland China consider that the most importand channel to get the messages is new media(non-official), including internet, text messages and personal contacts.
3. The more citizens in Mainland China get messages from the traditional-official media, the more they trust to the government. The more citizens in Mainland China get messages from the non-official new media or personal contacts, the less they trust to the government.
4. The factors of the political trust’s declination can be inferred to the new media’s development, and the increasing portion of the citizens in Mainland China who use the new media.
