Abstract

This study analyses news coverage of Qatar's hosting of the 2022 World Cup by three global news websites – Al Jazeera English (AJE), BBC World News, and RT English – over a period of nine years leading up to the tournament. Except for AJE, which focused on infrastructure development and political issues, the media outlets prioritised critical concerns by highlighting the social problems faced by migrant workers, while local community issues were given less attention. Although migrant workers received substantial media coverage, they were the least cited on all three news websites. Official sources were preferred to unofficial and public sources, and international sources were cited more often than Qatari sources. The most commonly used frame was conflict, whereas the human interest frame was the least utilised. These findings are discussed in light of the debate on the international coverage of hosting mega sport events in non-Western societies.

国际媒体对非西方体育主持人的描述：英国广播公司、半岛电视台英语频道和 RT 对 2022 年国际足联世界杯报道的比较分析

本研究分析了三家全球新闻网站--半岛电视台英语（AJE）、英国广播公司世界新闻（BBC World News）和 RT 英语--对卡塔尔主办 2022 年世界杯的新闻报道，时间跨度长达九年。除了半岛电视台英语网站关注基础设施建设和政治问题外，其他媒体都优先关注外来务工人员面临的社会问题，而对当地社区问题关注较少。尽管媒体对农民工进行了大量报道，但在所有三个新闻网站上，农民工的引用率最低。官方来源比非官方和公共来源更受青睐，国际来源比卡塔尔来源更常被引用。最常用的框架是冲突框架，而人类利益框架使用最少。我们将根据非西方社会对举办大型体育赛事的国际报道的讨论情况来讨论这些研究结果。
