This study adopts questionnaire survey to explore news reporters' perceptions of news and public opinion, and to discuss the reporters' use of the Internet and recognition of the Internet opinion. The reporters' perceptions of news and public opinion were divided into three concepts: the concept of public thinking of news reflecting public opinion, the concept of news advocacy of public opinion, and the concept of semiotic public of public opinion. The news reporters frequently used the Internet to find out information, and almost 90% of the surveyed reporters have quoted the opinions from the Internet. As for the reporters' recognition of Internet opinion, it can be divided into three factors: Internet opinion enriching the diversity of public opinion, Internet opinion reflecting public opinion, and Internet opinion becoming the news reporting rule.
