Abstract

In the era of intelligent media, the connection between news production and digital media has become increasingly deeper and has penetrated into the stages of news gathering, production, presentation and distribution. While technology facilitates news production, it also brings new ethical challenges to the news industry, such as false news, information flooding, deep falsification and pan-entertainment of news.

On the basis of the application status of AI technology in the progress of news production, combined with Bourdieu's field theory, this paper discusses media ethical anomie in short video news from the perspectives of four fields—economy, politics, culture and technology—and from the two factors of habitus and capital of actors in the field. This paper analyzes the causes of media ethics anomie and proposes countermeasures. The use of technology has both advantages and disadvantages. During this process, human beings should occupy the main position and use technology rationally. Meanwhile, as a comprehensive field, the governance of the news industry needs the cooperation of multiple subjects to jointly create a good news environment.
