Abstract

Scholars have recognized emotion as an increasingly important element in the reception and retransmission of online information. Because of existing divergence in ideology, both in the audience and producer of news stories, political issues are prone to spark a lot of emotional contents online. This present study takes the 2018-2019 government shutdown as the subject of investigation. The results show the prominence in journalistic and political figures in leading the discussion of news stories, the nuance of emotions employed in the news frames, and the choice of pro-attitudinal news sharing.
