Abstract

The media’s agenda-setting function in terms of selecting and presenting issues to the public and policymakers is crucial for the urgently needed transition towards more sustainable mobilities, including how the media frames micromobility. Media framings are representations, a key component of mobility, alongside physical movement and practice, all involving power relations. Drawing on mobility studies and discourse analysis, this paper compares how the Dutch and British national press frame micromobility. We identify five frames of micromobility: (1) as sustainable and active shift, predominant in the British press; (2) as disruption of the Dutch pedal-powered cycling regime; (3) as catalyst of conflicts in public space, both in the Dutch and British press; (4) around the shortcomings of micromobility regulations in both contexts; and (5) concerning lifestyle in the Dutch context. We demonstrate how media framings of micromobility only limitedly discuss its potential to transition from automobility, focusing instead on social status changes, regulatory challenges, and conflicts between different forms of micromobility, that are already marginalized. Our findings emphasize the urgency to put the transition from automobility—the elephant in the room—on the agenda.

社会达尔文主义搬到了自行车道上":荷兰和英国媒体对微观流动性的描述
媒体在选择和向公众和政策制定者提出问题方面的议程设置功能,对于向更可持续的交通方式(包括媒体如何构建微交通方式)迫切需要的过渡至关重要。媒介框架是一种表征,是移动性的关键组成部分,与身体运动和实践一样,都涉及到权力关系。本文运用流动性研究和话语分析的方法,比较了荷兰和英国民族新闻框架的微流动性。我们确定了微流动性的五个框架:(1)作为可持续和积极的转变,在英国新闻界占主导地位;(2)荷兰脚踏自行车制度的瓦解;(3)在荷兰和英国的媒体中,作为公共空间冲突的催化剂;(4)围绕两种情况下微流动性监管的不足;(5)荷兰语境下的生活方式。我们展示了微交通的媒体框架如何只局限地讨论其从汽车交通过渡的潜力,而是关注社会地位的变化、监管挑战以及不同形式的微交通之间的冲突,这些已经被边缘化了。我们的研究结果强调了从汽车转型的紧迫性,这是一个显而易见的问题。

期刊介绍: Mobilities examines both the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital, and information across the world, as well as more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public and private spaces, and the travel of material things in everyday life. Recent developments in transportation and communications infrastructures, along with new social and cultural practices of mobility, present new challenges for the coordination and governance of mobilities and for the protection of mobility rights and access. This has elicited many new research methods and theories relevant for understanding the connections between diverse mobilities and immobilities.
