In order to research on the stiff function of network media, this paper selects a special group-male teachers as research objects, analyzes comprehensively from the perspective of communication science, summarizes how the image of this group is set up in network media and what kind of communication effect is generated, and makes suggestions, which are expected to be beneficial for network media to exert effective function in public opinion supervision.

The theme of such reports is to resound through the good characteristics of male teachers and to establish “hero” and “model” images for male teachers, who set good examples for the public. Because the description of the characters in the reports is not clear enough, the character image is quite weak and has no strong influence effect, which will not leave deep impression on readers (please refer to table 2)
