Abstract

ABSTRACT Using textual analysis, this study compares and contrasts how newspapers from Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Africa—countries at the centre of the September 2019 xenophobic attacks in South Africa—under different ownership patterns defined the problem of xenophobia, its causes and solutions. Understanding how xenophobia was framed is important, for it has implications on policy formulations in dealing with immigration. The study finds that although there were common frames across the newspapers, there were also significant differences between newspapers from sending and receiving countries. Privately controlled newspapers also framed the crisis differently as compared to government or publicly controlled newspapers.

构建仇外心理的政治经济学、民族中心主义和老大哥心态：南非、津巴布韦和尼日利亚报纸

摘要本研究通过文本分析，比较和对比了2019年9月南非仇外袭击事件的中心国家津巴布韦、尼日利亚和南非的报纸在不同所有权模式下如何定义仇外心理问题、原因和解决方案。了解仇外心理是如何形成的很重要，因为它对处理移民问题的政策制定有影响。研究发现，尽管各大报纸都有共同的框架，但发送国和接收国的报纸之间也存在显著差异。与政府或公共控制的报纸相比，私人控制的报纸对危机的描述也有所不同。

期刊介绍： Accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training for university research purposes African Journalism Studies subscribes to the Code of Best Practice for Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals of the Academy of Science of South Africa. African Journalism Studies ( AJS) aims to contribute to the ongoing extension of the theories, methodologies and empirical data to under-researched areas of knowledge production, through its emphasis on African journalism studies within a broader, comparative perspective of the Global South. AJS strives for theoretical diversity and methodological inclusivity, by developing theoretical approaches and making critical interventions in global scholarly debates. The journal''s comparative and interdisciplinary approach is informed by the related fields of cultural and media studies, communication studies, African studies, politics, and sociology. The field of journalism studies is understood broadly, as including the practices, norms, value systems, frameworks of representation, audiences, platforms, industries, theories and power relations that relate to the production, consumption and study of journalism. A wide definition of journalism is used, which extends beyond news and current affairs to include digital and social media, documentary film and narrative non-fiction.
