Abstract

Weibo has been the most commonly used platform for Chinese people to speak out in the feminist movement in recent years. Therefore, our group plans to conduct a more in-depth analysis and research on the images of feminist activities on Weibo to reflect the influence of media. This paper mainly discusses the influence of Weibo on China’s feminist movement compared with traditional media. The purpose is to understand people’s cognition and understanding of the feminist movement by investigating the influence of media on the feminist movement. At the same time, this paper will discuss the influence of new and old media on social events, as well as the influence of new media on women’s events and the feminist movement through this research. Further, this paper will discuss the advantages of new media in publicizing social events compared with traditional media in China. In conclusion, new media, such as microblogs, have had a positive effect on the feminist movement by giving more people a voice, allowing women to defend their rights, and making more people aware of the feminist movement.
