[Hua Dialogue] 談談社群媒體上的時事討論 | A Conversation about News Consumption through Social Media

打開社群媒體，你看到全球疫情仍未結束，俄烏戰爭猛然掀起社會輿論的浪潮，突發的東航墜機事件也讓很多人痛心和感慨……這些在過去難以獲取的信息變得觸手可及，在各個社群平台上被廣泛地傳播著。在這個時代裡，社群媒體給了很多平凡的親歷者講述故事的機會，也給了關注這些事件的其他人發聲和討論的平台。社群媒體早已不是一個只為社群的場所，它似乎已經成為了我們分享、觀察和理解這個世界的一扇“窗口“。有人佇立在社群媒體這扇”窗口“前，吸收並傳遞著觀點和心緒，積極地與他人形成聯結；有人在”窗“前偶爾停留思索，然後悄然離去；還有人對無窮無盡的信息感到疲憊和憂慮，猶豫著要不要關上這扇”窗“。

你還在持續關注著”窗外“的事情嗎？在社群媒體的資訊洪流裡，你的心情和生活是否有受到影響呢？你對那些紛雜的聲音抱有怎樣的態度？你所期待的“窗外”的景色又是什麼模樣？我們誠邀你來參加Hua Dialogue對話本學期的最後一次活動，分享與傾聽對於社群媒體與時事討論的看法。

Browsing social media, you see the ongoing global pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war that sets off a wave of public opinion, the tragic air accident evoking pain and thoughts… Information that used to be difficult to find has become accessible and widely disseminated via various social platforms. In this day and age, social media allows ordinary people who were involved in the events to tell their true stories. It also serves as a place for spectators to discuss and get their voices heard. Nowadays social media is not only a platform for socialising but has become a “window” through which we share, observe and understand the world. Some people stay by the “window”, exchanging insights and creating connections with others; some people occasionally look out from the “window” and then leave quietly; others who are tired or stressed by the endless stream of information are hesitating whether or not to close the “window”.

Are you still looking out the “window”? Has the flood of information on social media affected your mood and life? What is your attitude toward the cacophony of voices? What scenery do you want to see through the “window”? If you are interested in these questions, please come to HUA Dialogue’s last event for this semester! We would like to hear your thoughts on social media and news consumption.
