Abstract

ABSTRACT Previous research has illustrated that journalists play an active role in the production of health news. The current study explores the relationship between the fields of healthcare and journalism from a healthcare perspective. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of fields and Gieryn’s concept of boundary-work, this study employed elite interviewing to analyse how the relations between these two fields were reflected and negotiated in the discourses of Belgian health-policy stakeholders. Our analysis illustrated that health-policy stakeholders perceived medicine and the news media as two different cultures and, therefore, discursively positioned news media actors as outsiders. Additionally, we showed that the nature of the relationship between health-policy stakeholders and the news media was linked to health-policy stakeholders’ position within the healthcare field. Through this analysis, we illustrate the value of using the concept of boundary-work as an analytical instrument to study the relationships between fields.

（Dis）纠缠医学和媒体：医疗保健和新闻领域关系的定性分析

摘要以往的研究表明，记者在健康新闻的制作中发挥着积极的作用。目前的研究从医疗保健的角度探讨了医疗保健领域和新闻业之间的关系。本研究借鉴布迪厄的领域理论和吉尔因的边界工作概念，采用精英访谈法，分析比利时卫生政策利益相关者的话语中如何反映和协商这两个领域之间的关系。我们的分析表明，卫生政策利益相关者将医学和新闻媒体视为两种不同的文化，因此，他们将新闻媒体行为者定位为局外人。此外，我们还表明，卫生政策利益相关者和新闻媒体之间关系的性质与卫生政策利益攸关者在医疗保健领域的地位有关。通过这一分析，我们说明了使用边界功的概念作为分析工具来研究场之间关系的价值。
