Abstract

News personalization in one-party dominant countries has been understudied or often analyzed through a Western lens. This study unpacked this phenomenon in one-party dominant country with the theory of leadership cult and soft power and compared news personalization of Xi Jinping in China with that of Donald Trump in the U.S. against the backdrop of the U.S.–China trade conflict. This study also investigated the influence of press ideology, political–geographical scope of news coverage and the trade conflict period on the presence and valence of personalization within each country. Results showed that leadership personalization was less prominent in China than in the U.S. The manifestation of news personalization in the U.S. was affected more by press ideology, while contextual factors, such as news political scope and the conflict period, played bigger roles in China. These findings provide insights into how news personalization is displayed in divergent political and media systems.

一党专政国家的新闻个性化一直没有得到充分的研究，或者经常通过西方的视角进行分析。本研究也探讨了新闻意识形态、新闻报道的政治地理范围和贸易冲突时期对每个国家内部个性化存在和效价的影响。结果表明，领导力个性化在中国的表现不如美国那么突出。美国新闻个性化的表现更多地受到新闻意识形态的影响，而在中国，新闻政治范围和冲突时期等语境因素的作用更大。这些发现为了解新闻个性化如何在不同的政治和媒体系统中表现出来提供了见解。
