Abstract
- Nowadays, many Chinese cities have experienced "population inversion," migrants have become the majority population of some Chinese cities. To gain insights into the urban newcomers' online information ground (OIG) in China, we interviewed 10 urban newcomers in China though Wechat (an instant messaging service) and employed content analysis to analyze what are the characteristics of Chinese urban newcomers' OIG. The preliminary findings show that the online taskāforced group is an extension of information ground; OIG becomes the main information resource for urban newcomers and helps them settle down quickly; OIG is relatively temporary.
