不經意的全球化想像:電視國際新聞中的多國新聞和國際組織

Banal Global Imagination: Multi-nation Stories and International Organizations in Television Foreign News

摘要


在全球化的時代中,世界各國的事務以及人民的生活越來越息息相關。但國際新聞在多大程度上及以甚麼方式反映了全球化這一社會現實?本研究以「不經意的全球化想像」為概念切入點,強調的不是新聞媒體如何開宗明義地討論「全球化」,而是全球化想像有沒有,及如何成為新聞內容背後的基本假定。具體操作上,本研究集中探討電視國際新聞中的多國新聞和國際組織。透過分析16個國家和地區的電視國際新聞,我們發現,多國新聞和涉及國際組織的新聞的比例仍然不高,代表世界各地的電視國際新聞仍未全面反映全球化的趨勢。同時,一個國家的電視新聞在多大程度上展示不經意的全球化想像,跟國家的特徵沒有太大關係。相反,在電視台的分析層次上,我們發現,越多駐外記者的媒體,越不依賴廣告收入的媒體,以及越多元的媒體系統所提供的國際新聞有更大程度的不經意的全球化想像。文章會討論研究的理論意義以及未來分析的方向。

The process of globalization has led to increasing interconnectedness between different parts of the worlds. But to what extent and in what ways does television foreign news reflect this reality of globalization? This article employs the concept of “banal global imagination” as an entry point to tackle the question. The emphasis is on whether and how globalization has become the basic assumption behind news contents. More concretely, this study examines multi-nation stories and international organizations in television foreign news. An analysis of television news of 16 countries shows that the percentage of multi-nation stories and international organization stories remains low. It shows that globalization has yet to become a basic assumption behind much of news contents. At the same time, there is no relationship between country characteristics and the extent of multi-nation/international organization stories in television news. In contrast, at the level of television station, we find that television stations with more foreign correspondents, stations less reliant on advertising revenue, and stations in more diverse media systems are more likely to cover more multi-nation stories and international organization stories. The theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.
