摘要

摘要独裁政权如何在危机时期有效控制信息以维护政权合法性?我们认为,在威权政权中,媒体框架构成了一种微妙而复杂的信息控制策略,在巨大的危机中,它在引导公众舆论和培养称职政府形象方面发挥着关键作用。使用结构主题模型(STM),我们对新冠肺炎大流行期间七家中国媒体制作的4600多篇新闻报道进行了文本分析。我们发现,中国媒体在宣传部门的指导下,用英雄主义的框架来描述前线医护人员在拯救其他需要帮助的人时的牺牲,并用对比的框架来强调美国在抗击新冠肺炎方面的糟糕表现。我们还发现,官方和商业媒体都使用了这两种框架,尽管商业媒体报道的基调通常比官方媒体版本更温和。

Framing as an Information Control Strategy in Times of Crisis
Abstract How can authoritarian regimes effectively control information to maintain regime legitimacy in times of crisis? We argue that media framing constitutes a subtle and sophisticated information control strategy in authoritarian regimes and plays a critical role in steering public opinion and cultivating an image of competent government during a tremendous crisis. Using structural topic models (STM), we conduct a textual analysis of more than 4,600 news reports produced by seven Chinese media outlets during the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that Chinese media, instructed by the propaganda authorities, used a heroism frame to feature frontline medics’ sacrifices when saving others in need and resorted to a contrast frame to highlight the poor performance of the United States in the fight against COVID-19. We also show that both state and commercial media outlets used these two frames, though the tone of commercial media coverage was generally more moderate than the state media version.
