论文摘要
在本文中，我们提出了一种媒体障碍，我们称其为“'垃圾新闻泡沫”，并源自在线平台及其用户为识别和共享知名度升高的内容所投入的努力。我们声称，这种对趋势事项的强调可能会对公开辩论产生两种不利影响：首先，它缩短了讨论每一件事的可用时间；其次，它增加了媒体关注的短暂浓度。我们通过数学探索Hilgartner和Bosk在1988年开发的著名的“公共场所模型”，对垃圾新闻泡沫的动态进行了正式描述。我们的目标是尽可能准确地描述垃圾新闻泡沫的动态，以促进其进一步的经验数据。
In this paper, we present a type of media disorder which we call "`junk news bubbles" and which derives from the effort invested by online platforms and their users to identify and share contents with rising popularity. Such emphasis on trending matters, we claim, can have two detrimental effects on public debates: first, it shortens the amount of time available to discuss each matter; second it increases the ephemeral concentration of media attention. We provide a formal description of the dynamic of junk news bubbles, through a mathematical exploration the famous "public arenas model" developed by Hilgartner and Bosk in 1988. Our objective is to describe the dynamics of the junk news bubbles as precisely as possible to facilitate its further investigation with empirical data.
