新闻媒体中对偏见的提及——一项国际比较

Mentions of Prejudice in News Media -- An International Comparison

David Rozado

AI总结:

本文基于36国124家媒体的9800多万篇文章,发现2010年后偏见谴责与社会正义术语的增多是全球性现象,且不同地区强调的偏见类型各异,美国并非最早出现该趋势。

摘要:

此前研究已经发现,2010年后美国和英国新闻媒体内容中用于谴责偏见的术语(即种族主义、性别歧视、恐同、伊斯兰恐惧症、反犹太主义等)急剧增加。在此,我们将此前的分析扩展到一个国际新闻媒体组织样本。因此,我们量化了偏见谴责术语和社会正义相关术语(多样性、包容性、平等性等)在超过9800万篇新闻和评论文章中的普遍程度,这些文章来自36个国家、代表6个不同世界区域的124家流行新闻媒体:英语圈西方、欧洲大陆、拉丁美洲、撒哈拉以南非洲、波斯湾地区和亚洲。我们发现,2010年后所研究术语在新闻媒体中日益突出的现象并不局限于美国和英国,而似乎是一个大体上全球性的现象,始于2010年代前半期的一些先行国家,但在2015年后在全球范围内已基本普遍存在。然而,不同世界区域的新闻媒体以不同的强度强调不同类型的偏见。我们没有发现证据表明美国新闻媒体是世界上最先提高其内容中偏见报道频率的。所研究的这组术语在绝大多数国家的新闻媒体中增加的时间同步性程度很高,这引发了关于驱动这一现象的根本原因的重要问题。

英文摘要:

Previous research has identified a post-2010 sharp increase of terms used to denounce prejudice (i.e. racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, etc.) in U.S. and U.K. news media content. Here, we extend previous analysis to an international sample of news media organizations. Thus, we quantify the prevalence of prejudice-denouncing terms and social justice associated terminology (diversity, inclusion, equality, etc.) in over 98 million news and opinion articles across 124 popular news media outlets from 36 countries representing 6 different world regions: English-speaking West, continental Europe, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Persian Gulf region and Asia. We find that the post-2010 increasing prominence in news media of the studied terminology is not circumscribed to the U.S. and the U.K. but rather appears to be a mostly global phenomenon starting in the first half of the 2010s decade in pioneering countries yet largely prevalent around the globe post-2015. However, different world regions' news media emphasize distinct types of prejudice with varying degrees of intensity. We find no evidence of U.S. news media having been first in the world in increasing the frequency of prejudice coverage in their content. The large degree of temporal synchronicity with which the studied set of terms increased in news media across a vast majority of countries raises important questions about the root causes driving this phenomenon.
