Fourth, based on the agenda-setting theory, we should eliminate the negative emotions in the Internet, and promote the positive energy of the Internet. In the era of social media, interest recommendation algorithms trap Internet users in the information cocoon room, and personal emotions will continue to expand with the echo room effect. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand and control the emotions of Internet users. Agenda-setting theory means that the public’s attention can be shifted, focused, or ignored under the guidance of the media. Mainstream media should timely understand public concerns and emotional trends, guide netizens to correct emotional counseling, at the same time, lead everyone to fully understand the pandemic dynamics, pay attention to pandemic risks, treat Internet rumors and pandemic changes with a rational and objective attitude, and create a harmonious and civilized network environment.

To examine the business value of engaging in DP activities, we draw upon agenda-setting theory and impression-management theory. Agenda-setting theory explains the role of news media in influencing the salience of both objects and their attributes among the public (see, Carroll & McCombs, 2003). In management literature, agenda-setting theory has been largely applied to explain the influence of the media on corporate reputations among the public (see, Highhouse et al., 2009 for a recent review). News media (e.g., newspapers and television news) can impact corporate reputations by telling the public what to think about an issue (i.e., the salience of objects) and how to think about an issue (i.e., the salience of attributes). How media report on political candidates and thereby influence the public thinking about each candidate and his/her attributes provides an example of the application of agenda-setting theory. Recognizing this specific ability of media to influence the salience of topics and images among the public, organizations have attempted to manage the issues coming from the news media, discussed next.
