Research on news sharing has focused on the societal relevance of news as the core value of traditional journalism or the informational characteristics of viral news on social media. In contrast, this study reinterprets news-sharing behaviors as interpersonal communication of news sharers presenting themselves to their personal networks beyond the distribution of societally important information. Through analyzing survey responses from 463 news sharers and the actual news they shared on social media, results suggest that news sharers consider their relationship with their audience and the personal and audience relevance of news to present their ideal selves and please their audience. By expanding the traditional emphasis on the societal relevance and informational characteristics of news, this study develops a theoretical framework to understand news sharing as interpersonal communication. It also provides future directions to conceptualize issue relevance at different levels and capture changed news-sharing behaviors in the era of networked individualism.

我的新闻、你的新闻和我们的新闻：社交媒体新闻分享中的自我呈现动机和问题相关性的三个层次

新闻共享的研究主要集中在作为传统新闻核心价值的新闻的社会相关性或社交媒体上病毒式新闻的信息特征。相比之下，这项研究将新闻分享行为重新解释为新闻分享者在个人网络中展示自己的人际交流，而不仅仅是传播社会重要信息。通过分析 463 名新闻分享者的调查回复以及他们在社交媒体上分享的实际新闻，结果表明新闻分享者会考虑他们与受众的关系以及新闻的个人和受众相关性，以展示理想的自我并取悦受众。通过扩展对新闻的社会相关性和信息特征的传统强调，本研究开发了一个理论框架，将新闻共享理解为人际传播。它还提供了未来的方向，以概念化不同层面的问题相关性，并捕捉网络个人主义时代新闻共享行为的变化。
