網絡對印度尼西亞媒體城鄉新聞產出量差異的影響

互聯網的出現對世界各地的新聞媒體產生了變革性的影響,不僅因此創造出了新的消費市場,也改變了記者收集新聞的方式。因爲印度尼西亞等發展中國家互聯網用率增加了好多,因此這些影響特別大。互聯網覆蓋率和新聞覆蓋率都存在空間不平等。這樣不平等的現象會影響印度尼西亞的不同地方如何被報道,也會影響是誰取得了什麽資訊。本研究想要探究互聯網的可用性與國家級新聞媒體覆蓋率之間的關係。使用定制的地理解析器提取地名並從 270 萬篇文章指定實際位置從 2008 到2018,本研究檢驗了以下假説:「農村地區互聯網覆蓋率的增加」會與「農村地區被媒體報道的比率增加」有關結果是,儘管印度尼西亞的媒體環境發生了巨大變化,但空間分佈在過去五年中變化不大。新聞媒體的報道,仍然明顯地偏向人口眾多,社會經濟發展較完善的都市地區。

The Internet has had a transformational effect on news media globally, both creating new consumer markets and changing the ways the reporters collect the news. These effects are especially pronounced in developing countries such as Indonesia, where mobile-led Internet use has increased drastically in the past decade. However, spatial inequalities in both internet and news coverage have become evident in Indonesia in recent years. These inequalities influence how different parts of Indonesia are represented, and who gets access to what information. This study investigates the relationship between the availability of internet and coverage in domestic news media. Using custom-built geoparsing methods that extracted the locations of 2.7 million news articles from 2008 to 2018, the hypothesis that an increase in internet coverage in rural locations would correlate with an increase in coverage of those places in the media was tested. This analysis found little change in spatial distribution of news in the past decade, despite massive changes to the media ecosystem in Indonesia. That being said, news reporting remains strongly skewed towards densely urbanized, socioeconomically developed regions of the country.
