Researcher found that, on the one hand, hypertext has been used in digital news report to display diverse viewpoints and information and representing journalists’ professional ideologies such as objectivity and gate-keeping principle, and on the other hand, hypertext is also used as a technological tool to restructure commercial force in the field of Internet news environment.
