Abstract

Public debates are rife with overt blame attributions—the explicit assignment of moral responsibility for problems in society to individuals and groups. The present study develops a framework for identifying discursive blame attribution strategies in the journalistic mediation of problems through the use of causality construction, which enables an understanding of how blame is attributed implicitly. I draw on a qualitative and quantitative discourse analysis of migration frames to distinguish three types of perceived migration-related problems: security-based, economic, and cultural. I make a further distinction based on whether these problems are causally explained by: (1) reference to migrants’ alleged culture and religion or (2) the socioeconomic conditions they experience in the recipient country. The study advances our understanding of blame attribution by drawing attention to the subtle ways groups are held responsible for problems in society through journalistic mediation processes and how context influences mediated blame attribution.

移民新闻框架中的话语归咎策略:在新闻框架中,如何将人们认为与移民有关的问题归咎于他人
公共辩论中充斥着公开的归咎--将社会问题的道德责任明确归咎于个人和团体。本研究建立了一个框架,通过使用因果关系建构法来识别新闻报道中对问题的话语归咎策略,从而了解如何进行隐性归咎。我通过对移民框架的定性和定量话语分析,区分了三种类型的移民相关问题:安全问题、经济问题和文化问题。我还根据这些问题是否可通过以下方式得到因果解释,对其进行了进一步区分:(1) 提及移民所谓的文化和宗教,或 (2) 他们在接受国经历的社会经济条件。本研究通过提请人们注意群体通过新闻中介过程对社会问题负责的微妙方式,以及背景如何影响中介的责任归属,推进了我们对责任归属的理解。
