Abstract

This article examines the news coverage of a nonmilitary conflict: The US–China trade conflict by major news media outlets in the USA and China using the war and peace journalism framework. Role in the conflict as initiator/responder, medium difference, the press role in each press system, and partisanship of news media were hypothesized to affect the war and peace journalism practice. Moreover, the trade conflict was divided into three stages to test the applicability of the “foreign policy market equilibrium hypothesis” by analyzing the changes in the uses of sources and presence of competing frames over time. US news media were found to employ more war journalism and less peace journalism than their Chinese counterpart. They also had much lower coverage of the conflict than their Chinese counterpart. Newspapers were more likely to use war journalism than television. US partisan liberal media selectively supported and opposed the US government trade policy.

中美媒体如何报道中美贸易冲突——以战争与和平新闻实践和外交政策均衡假设为例

本文利用战争与和平新闻框架，考察了美国和中国主要新闻媒体对非军事冲突的新闻报道：美中贸易冲突。假设冲突中作为发起者/回应者的角色、媒介差异、每个新闻系统中的新闻角色以及新闻媒体的党派性会影响战争与和平新闻实践。此外，贸易冲突被分为三个阶段，通过分析来源使用的变化和竞争框架的存在，来检验“外交政策市场均衡假说”的适用性。美国新闻媒体被发现比中国新闻媒体更多地使用战争新闻，更少地使用和平新闻。他们对冲突的报道也远低于中国同行。与电视相比，报纸更有可能使用战争新闻。美国党派自由派媒体选择性地支持和反对美国政府的贸易政策。
