In recent years, with the development of information technology, society has entered the digital age. In such a new media environment, a new type of news phenomenon emerges as the times require. With the media scrambling to report and the gradual development of the incident, the truth finally confirmed through various channels is quite different from the initial media reports. This is the "news reversal" phenomenon that has begun to affect the social behavior of Chinese netizens. Due to the fact that this phenomenon appeared late and there is no definite research school or representative figure, the overall research is relatively shallow. On the one hand, while clarifying the definition and significance of news reversal, it explores the research angle of news reversal phenomenon in China and other countries. On the other hand, it summarizes the shortcomings of the current research on news reversal phenomenon, and discusses the future research direction.
