Abstract: The binary-state opinion model with the conservation law of public information is studied. The public informationInfiprovided by nodeiis an exponential function of its degree with the tunable parameter β, which reflects the impact factor of the nodeito his/her local neighbors. We realize our model on the top of complex networks with another tunable parameter α, which shows the degree heterogeneous as the form of the power-law degree distribution with the exponentγ = (1 + α)/α. We find that much more public information(β > 2)and less public information(β
