Abstract:
At the end of 2019, Novel Coronavirus appeared, accompanied by massive epidemic information which reveals the digital divide of global concern. Through a questionnaire and interviews, the situation of the intergenerational digital divide, provincial digital divide and urban and rural digital divide behind the epidemic can be preliminarily concluded. In addition to the great help provided by new media, traditional media also played an important role in the spread of information about the epidemic. To continue to narrow the digital divide in the spread of information about the epidemic, the government should work to control rumors, and new media and traditional media should cooperate more scientifically in order to give play to their respective advantages. In addition, it is suggested that the elderly should also be helped in terms of their ability of using new media.
