Abstract

As E-sports is booming in China in recent years, E-sports news also appears in public in great numbers. Based on data analysis and literature review, it is clear that mainstream media’s attitude towards E-sports has converted in the last few years, but do these news reports actually affect people’s attitudes, especially the middle-aged? Compared with people from other age groups, they experienced the discourse transformation of E-sports in media and have sufficient ability to obtain new information, so their opinion means a great deal to the development of E-sports. To figure out this issue, we conducted a survey to explore the influence of E-sports news on middle-aged audiences’ attitudes. Eventually, we find that news did change their attitude in the sort of ways. Still, it is not adequately objective and comprehensive, few middle-aged people in our research show enough knowledge about E-sports. And new media, as the crucial main battlefield of public opinion, is not used appropriately to propagandize E-sports. To make more people understand and embrace E-sports, the depiction of it should be multi-faceted. Hence audience will find the reality of the industry.
