Abstract

This study investigates disparities in the portrayals of US and China images across ethnic media, homeland media, and host media that are serving the Chinese migrants in the United States. A quantitative content analysis of 156 news articles was conducted. Results reveal that ethnic media share more similarities with homeland media than with host media, which adds empirical explanations to ethnic and homeland media’s commonalities in retaining migrants’ ethnic identity. This also signals a pervasive impact of homeland news organizations on overseas ethnic media – although ethnic media are registered by US citizens or permanent citizens in America, they are actually owned or operated by Chinese news companies. As a result, ethnic media may have followed the same journalistic practices as their counterpart agencies from China. Implications of these findings for public opinion are also discussed.

三个世界的两个国家?美国和中国在民族、国土和东道国媒体中的形象

本研究调查了在美国为中国移民服务的民族媒体、本土媒体和主办媒体对美国和中国形象的描述差异。对156篇新闻文章进行了定量内容分析。研究结果表明，民族媒体与本土媒体的相似性高于东道国媒体，这为民族和本土媒体在保留移民民族身份方面的共性提供了实证解释。这也标志着本土新闻机构对海外族裔媒体的普遍影响——尽管族裔媒体由美国公民或在美永久公民注册，但它们实际上由中国新闻公司拥有或运营。因此，民族媒体可能遵循了与中国同行机构相同的新闻惯例。还讨论了这些发现对公众舆论的影响。
