Abstract

The first case of COVID-19 appeared in China in late 2019, followed by a global outbreak of the virus. There are many articles examining the content of media coverage of China, but the topics examining media coverage of China during COVID-19 are still very new and have not been adequately studied. Knowledge related to Media coverage of China during COVID-19 was analyzed and visualized using CiteSpace software with the Web of Science Core Collection as the data source. The main findings suggest that media coverage of China during COVID-19 is a relatively recent topic of research. (1) The three most influential journals in this area are Communication, Psychology Multidisciplinary, and Public Environmental Occupational Health. Zhang W., Chen Q, et al. are among the most influential authors. (2) Co-author networks are decentralized, whereas transnational collaborations take place in groups. 10 clusters are considered to be of high interest, of which "covid-19 governance" "contesting coronavirus narrative" "understanding public protective behavioral intention" has persisted to this day. (3) Thirteen emergent terms illustrate the evolution of the field's research frontiers, the earliest being "social media," "fake news," etc., followed by "support," "emotions," "media," etc., and finally "media satisfaction" and "media perceptions."Finally, its contributions, limitations and directions for further research are discussed. The findings of this study predict future trends in research on media coverage of China during COVID-19 and provide a basis for more in-depth research.
媒体在 COVID-19 期间对中国的报道:系统回顾
2019年底,中国出现首例COVID-19病例,随后病毒在全球爆发。研究媒体对中国报道内容的文章很多,但研究COVID-19期间媒体对中国报道的话题还很新,研究不够充分。我们使用 CiteSpace 软件,以 Web of Science Core Collection 为数据源,对与 COVID-19 期间中国媒体报道相关的知识进行了分析和可视化。主要研究结果表明,COVID-19 期间的中国媒体报道是一个相对较新的研究课题。(1) 该领域最有影响力的三种期刊是《传播》、《多学科心理学》和《公共环境与职业健康》。Zhang W.、Chen Q 等人是其中最有影响力的作者。(2) 合著者网络是分散的,而跨国合作则是群体性的。其中 "covid-19治理""冠状病毒叙事的争论""理解公众保护行为意向 "一直持续至今。(3)13个新兴术语说明了该领域研究前沿的演变,最早的是 "社交媒体""假新闻 "等,其次是 "支持""情绪""媒体 "等,最后是 "媒体满意度 "和 "媒体认知"。"最后,讨论了其贡献、局限性和进一步研究的方向。本研究的结论预测了COVID-19期间媒体对华报道研究的未来趋势,为更深入的研究提供了基础。
