This study investigated the use of national stereotypes and home cultural referents (so-called “domestication”) in foreign news reporting, in relation to social identity theory which posits that individuals are drawn to information/assessments that positively describe the social groups to which they belong. Through a content analysis of influential newspapers from three different countries, this study finds that foreign news coverage tends to depict the home culture favorably while generally denigrating foreign societies, consistent with the theory's predictions. The study also finds that foreign news generally portrays the foreign society negatively with or without the stereotype but that stereotyping will enhance negativity. This research also employed cultural theories to probe the reciprocal nature between the audience and the journalists, both of who may share similar cultural frames.
本研究调查了在国外新闻报道中使用国家刻板印象和家庭文化参照物(所谓的“归化”),这与社会认同理论有关,该理论认为个人会被积极描述其所属社会群体的信息/评估所吸引。通过对三个不同国家有影响力的报纸的内容分析,本研究发现国外新闻报道倾向于正面描述本国文化,而普遍诋毁外国社会,这与该理论的预测一致。研究还发现,外国新闻通常对外国社会有或没有刻板印象的负面描述,但刻板印象会增强负面影响。本研究还运用文化理论探讨了观众和记者之间的互惠性,两者可能具有相似的文化框架。

Audiovisual policy transfer between Mercosur and the European Union has gone offtrack 南方共同市场和欧盟之间的视听政策转移已经偏离轨道

This article analyses the Audiovisual Mercosur Program as a case of policy transfer between Mercosur and the European Union. A qualitative document analysis, expert interviews and the use of policy transfer theory and its constraints made possible the critical evaluation of the program and its impacts. By focusing on the constraints that led to an incomplete and uninformed transfer, we were able to identify an alignment between the underlying ideas of audiovisual policies in Mercosur and the European Union, but also inadequate governance within Mercosur, unbalanced interests between the two trade blocks, and a lack of policy learning. As a result, the transfer of European Union policies reproduced well-documented failures of the European Union's internal market policies relating to the audiovisual sector.
本文将南方共同市场视听计划作为南方共同市场与欧盟政策转移的一个案例进行分析。定性文件分析、专家访谈以及政策转移理论及其约束的使用,使对该计划及其影响的批判性评估成为可能。通过关注导致不完整和不知情转移的制约因素,我们能够确定南方共同市场和欧盟视听政策的基本理念之间的一致性,但也发现南方共同市场内部治理不足、两个贸易区块之间的利益不平衡以及缺乏政策学习。因此,欧洲联盟政策的转移再现了欧洲联盟与视听部门有关的内部市场政策的失败。

Who constructs Africa's global media image? That is the main focus of this longitudinal study. It looks at both the journalists and the news sources applied in the British press coverage of Africa between 1992 and 2017. Four British national newspapers (The Guardian, Financial Times, The Times, and Daily Mail) and a mixed research approach (content analysis and semi-structured interviews) were used. A total sample of 7027 articles were utilized, while nine journalists were interviewed. This study discovered that the British newspapers’ coverage of Africa was dominated by Western journalists and the news sources used in the articles were a proportionate mixture of both African and Western sources, especially in the quality newspapers. It also uncovered that Africa's global influence, in addition to other factors impact on the UK newspapers’ coverage of Africa. This study concludes that there are some positive changes in the post-colonial British press coverage of Africa, especially in their use of news sources, but there are still some elements of neo-colonialism and racism in the British newspapers’ use of journalists in reporting on Africa.
谁构建了非洲的全球媒体形象?这是本纵向研究的主要焦点。它着眼于1992年至2017年间英国新闻报道非洲的记者和新闻来源。使用了四家英国全国性报纸(《卫报》、《金融时报》、《泰晤士报》和《每日邮报》)和混合研究方法(内容分析和半结构化采访)。总共使用了7027篇文章的样本,同时采访了9名记者。这项研究发现,英国报纸对非洲的报道主要由西方记者主导,文章中使用的新闻来源是非洲和西方来源的适度混合,尤其是优质报纸。它还揭示了非洲的全球影响力,以及影响英国报纸对非洲报道的其他因素。这项研究得出的结论是,后殖民时代的英国媒体对非洲的报道发生了一些积极的变化,特别是在新闻来源的使用方面,但英国报纸在报道非洲时使用记者的方式仍然存在一些新殖民主义和种族主义的因素。

This work examines how the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the migration debate on Twitter. Through co-hashtag network analysis, time-frequency and content analysis, it shows that the pandemic was related with positive (humanitarian) and negative (threat) stances about migration. The positive side focused on the need to protect refugees stranded at camps in Greece from COVID-19. The negative focused on the Greek-Turkish land-border crisis (Evros crisis), using COVID-19 to reinforce migrants as racialized others. These findings fit the problematization of positive and negative migrant representations in the Global north as Eurocentric. In the case of camps, refugees fit well within the victim/helpless frame, justifying humanitarianism, this time on health grounds. Regarding the border crisis, refugees also fit the Eurocentric frame of violent/male/inferior other who could spread a deadly virus. Overall, COVID-19 intertwined with migration in Twitter debates, reinforcing the racialized, Eurocentric representational field on migrants from the Global south.
这项工作考察了2019冠状病毒病大流行的爆发如何重塑了推特上的移民辩论。通过共同标签网络分析、时频分析和内容分析,表明疫情与移民的积极(人道主义)立场和消极(威胁)立场相关。积极的一面侧重于保护滞留在希腊难民营的难民免受COVID-19侵害的必要性。负面影响主要集中在希腊-土耳其陆地边境危机(埃夫罗斯危机)上,利用COVID-19来强化移民是种族化的其他人。这些发现符合将全球北方的积极和消极移民代表问题化为以欧洲为中心的观点。就难民营而言,难民完全符合受害者/无助者的框架,证明人道主义是合理的,这一次是基于健康理由。关于边境危机,难民也符合以欧洲为中心的框架,即暴力/男性/劣等他人可能传播致命病毒。总体而言,在推特上的辩论中,COVID-19与移民交织在一起,强化了以种族为中心的、以欧洲为中心的关于全球南方移民的代表性领域。

Transnational media consumption dissonance and ambivalent sexism: How American and Korean television drama consumption shapes Chinese audiences’ gender-role values 跨国媒体消费失调与矛盾的性别歧视——美韩电视剧消费如何塑造中国观众的性别角色价值

Driven by globalization, modernity and the development of media technology, transnational media consumption is increasingly prevalent. Together with domestic media consumption, transnational media consumption constitutes the fragmentation and diversification of individuals’ media consumption behaviors. Yet research concerning the hybrid media effects generated by domestic and transnational media consumption is still underdeveloped. Using a sample of 556 Chinese Internet users, this study proposes a concept of transnational media consumption dissonance to compare the effects of hybrid media consumption on sexism and gender-role norms in marriage (GRIM). The findings suggest that individuals’ perceptions of gender-role norms are not only affected by domestic media usage but also altered through transnational media usage. We illustrate how transnational media consumption dissonance can affect Chinese audiences’ perception of GRIM through the mediating roles of perceived sexism in American and Korean dramas and their general sexism values.
在全球化、现代性和媒体技术发展的推动下,跨国媒体消费日益盛行。跨国媒介消费与国内媒介消费共同构成了个人媒介消费行为的碎片化和多样化。然而,关于国内和跨国媒体消费产生的混合媒体效应的研究仍然不发达。本研究以556名中国网民为样本,提出跨国媒体消费失调的概念,比较混合媒体消费对性别歧视和婚姻性别角色规范的影响。研究结果表明,个人对性别角色规范的认知不仅受到国内媒体使用的影响,还受到跨国媒体使用的改变。我们通过美剧和韩剧中感知到的性别歧视及其普遍的性别歧视价值观的中介作用,说明跨国媒体消费失调如何影响中国观众对GRIM的感知。

Differences in journalism culture or is there more to it? Comparing news on the European refugee issue in Western Europe and China 是新闻文化的差异,还是另有隐情?西欧与中国关于欧洲难民问题的新闻比较

This study explores the country-specific, regional and cultural differences and similarities between China and two European countries in their coverage of the European refugee issue and seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the various political interests, social values, and journalism cultures in the countries under study. It analyzed and compared 2,368 news articles in Belgian, Swedish, and Chinese newspapers from 2015 to 2017. The analysis demonstrated that Chinese newspapers put less emphasis on welcoming the refugees by politicians and citizens, but are more prone to report on Islamic religion in their coverage of the refugees than the Belgian and Swedish newspapers. The empirical evidence suggests that the differences in reporting are not only a representation of different political interests and social engagement of the three countries, but, to a large extent, a result of different journalism cultures across nations.
本研究探讨了中国与两个欧洲国家在报道欧洲难民问题上的国别、地域和文化差异与相似之处,并试图对所研究国家的各种政治利益、社会价值观和新闻文化提供更深入的了解。该研究分析并比较了2015年至2017年比利时、瑞典和中国报纸上的2368篇新闻文章。分析表明,与比利时和瑞典的报纸相比,中国报纸较少强调政治家和公民对难民的欢迎,但在报道难民时更倾向于报道伊斯兰宗教。经验证据表明,报道的差异不仅代表了三国不同的政治利益和社会参与,而且在很大程度上是各国不同新闻文化的结果。

This study examined the relationships between social media use, strong-tie discussion, and political participation in three Chinese societies, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Our findings showed that strong-tie discussion is positively related to collective action participation across the three societies. More importantly, strong-tie discussion mediates the effect of political use of social media on political participation in mainland China and Taiwan, but not in Hong Kong. Furthermore, we explored the moderation role of political trust, finding that it narrows down the participation gap between those who use social media more and those who use less in Hong Kong and Taiwan, while enlarges the participation gap in mainland China. This study contributes to the theory of deliberative and participatory democracy by examining the role of strong tie in Chinese contexts and suggests that strong-tie discussion may exert a more important effect on political participation in a more collectivistic society.
本研究考察了中国大陆、香港和台湾三个社会的社交媒体使用、激烈讨论和政治参与之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明,在三个社会中,强有力的联系讨论与集体行动参与呈正相关。更重要的是,在中国大陆和台湾,但在香港,激烈的讨论调解了社交媒体的政治使用对政治参与的影响。此外,我们探讨了政治信任的调节作用,发现它缩小了香港和台湾使用社交媒体较多者与使用社交媒体较少者之间的参与差距,同时扩大了中国大陆的参与差距。本研究通过考察强联系在中国语境中的作用,为协商和参与民主理论做出了贡献,并表明在更集体主义的社会中,强联系讨论可能对政治参与产生更重要的影响。

The proliferation of information technologies has changed how Internet users around the world seek information. While information and communication technologies have transformed the structure of the Chinese economy, they have also brought challenges to the informational realms of everyday lives. However, there is a lack of empirical research exploring if users have encountered barriers in seeking online information for daily tasks. This mixed-methods study focuses on the disruptive influence of digital technologies on everyday information seeking practices, namely, the paradoxical co-existence of information overload and the lack of information sources. Results suggest that Chinese Internet users face a dilemma of receiving redundant online information and yet still experience a lack of high-quality information sources online. Findings from this research provide new perspectives of understanding the role of digital technologies in everyday life and also extend the dimensions of digital divides from internet access to disparities in information practices and experiences.
信息技术的普及改变了世界各地互联网用户寻求信息的方式。信息和通信技术在改变中国经济结构的同时,也给日常生活的信息领域带来了挑战。然而,缺乏实证研究来探究用户在为日常任务寻找在线信息时是否遇到了障碍。这项混合方法研究的重点是数字技术对日常信息寻求实践的破坏性影响,即信息过载和信息来源缺乏的矛盾共存。研究结果表明,中国互联网用户面临着接收冗余在线信息的困境,但仍然缺乏高质量的在线信息来源。这项研究的发现为理解数字技术在日常生活中的作用提供了新的视角,也扩展了数字鸿沟的维度,从互联网接入到信息实践和体验的差异。

This study aims to theoretically advance the context-oriented tradition in crisis communication by highlighting the political and technological contexts for understanding organisational crises. Using China as a case, the study proposes a broader analytical framework that investigates the societal contexts’ impact on crisis communication from political and technological domains. The analytical framework includes, first, the examination of the authoritarian regime with a divided power structure as the political context in China. Assessing political ideology, political structure, and political history as political contexts allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of political contexts on crisis communication temporally and structurally; second, the investigation of internet users’ voices in a government-regulated commercial space as the technological context in China. Online participation and internet language thereby emerge as prominent parts of the technological contexts for understanding crisis communication in China. The implications and directions of research are also discussed.
本研究旨在通过强调理解组织危机的政治和技术背景,从理论上推进危机沟通中的语境导向传统。以中国为例,该研究提出了一个更广泛的分析框架,从政治和技术领域调查社会背景对危机沟通的影响。分析框架包括,首先,以权力结构分裂的威权政权作为中国的政治背景。将政治意识形态、政治结构和政治历史作为政治背景进行评估,可以从时间和结构上更全面地了解政治背景对危机沟通的影响;第二,作为中国技术背景的政府监管商业空间中互联网用户声音的调查。因此,网络参与和网络语言成为理解中国危机沟通的技术背景的突出部分。还讨论了研究的意义和方向。
