Abstract

Moving people comprise both a subject of news reports (of refugees, migrants and other people-on-the-move) and a way of reporting on the issues involved. Viewers can be moved and placed in a discursive relation to the displaced when news stories construct what Arendt called ‘proper distance’. This possibility is explored in the article, which compares coverage of migration issues in 2019 on four global television news channels: Al Jazeera English, BBC World, CNN International and RT. The results provide evidence of approaches that differ in striking and thought-provoking ways, giving global television news consumers different resources for making sense of a complicated global crisis.

流动人口:2019年关于移民的适当距离和全球新闻报道

流动人口既包括新闻报道的主题(难民、移民和其他流动人口)，也包括对相关问题的报道方式。当新闻故事构建阿伦特所谓的“适当距离”时，观众可以被移动并置于与流离失所者的话语关系中。这篇文章探讨了这种可能性，比较了2019年四个全球电视新闻频道(半岛电视台英语频道、BBC世界频道、CNN国际频道和rt)对移民问题的报道。研究结果提供了不同方法的证据，这些方法以引人注目和发人深省的方式不同，为全球电视新闻消费者提供了不同的资源，以理解复杂的全球危机。
