Abstract: (1) Background: Hot social events contain a large amount of public opinion information, and a more detailed analysis of this information will help the relevant parts to formulate more targeted supervision strategies at different stages and for the public opinion publishers involved in the event discussions, so as to achieve efficient management of public opinion; (2) Methods:Based on stakeholder theory and life cycle theory, this study constructs stakeholder classification system by using keyword identification method; adopts LDA model to complete topic clustering; analyzes and summarizes topic evolution pattern by calculating topic similarity; (3) Results: The study divided the stakeholders involved in the Jiang Ge case into 10 categories, and the results of topic clustering were divided into two categories according to the content of the topics, which were based on the case itself and on the parties involved in the case; it was found that each stakeholder focused on a different topic with different emphasis, no matter the topic of public opinion or the different life cycle stages of public opinion. Based on the differences in topic similarity between adjacent stages, the topic evolution patterns of different stakeholders were categorized into three types; (4) Conclusions: Example verification shows that the method presented in this paper can dig out the topic focus and evolution path of stakeholders in the field of public opinion, and provide a horizontal and vertical comparative analysis between stakeholders and different life cycle stages.
