Abstract

Abstract Indigenous journalism can facilitate the inclusion of Indigenous voices in the public sphere, thereby contributing to social change. Contemporary Indigenous journalism is in part facilitated by the introduction and diffusion of paradigmatic media innovations, including the Internet, mobile technology, and social media. Based on a literature review, we investigate how media innovations are understood to facilitate Indigenous journalism and find that few empirical studies directly address this question. Analyses of Indigenous journalism, reaching beyond the potential for increased access to media and for amplification of Indigenous voice, are lacking. Furthermore, little research investigates how the appropriation of new technological affordances influence the production of Indigenous journalism. Our review also indicates that while Indigenous political participation can be facilitated by media innovation, these innovations can also serve to reinforce existing power relations. We submit that more critical analytical approaches are required to investigate how media innovations might facilitate the potential of Indigenous journalism for social change.
本土新闻、媒体创新和社会变革:回顾以往的研究并呼吁采取更批判性的方法
土著新闻可以促进土著的声音融入公共领域,从而促进社会变革。当代土著新闻在一定程度上得益于互联网、移动技术和社交媒体等范式媒体创新的引入和传播。在文献回顾的基础上,我们调查了媒体创新如何被理解为促进土著新闻,并发现很少有实证研究直接解决这个问题。缺乏对土著新闻的分析,超出了增加接触媒体的机会和扩大土著声音的可能性。此外,很少有研究调查新技术支持的挪用如何影响土著新闻的生产。我们的研究也表明,虽然媒体创新可以促进原住民的政治参与,但这些创新也可以加强现有的权力关系。我们认为,需要更批判性的分析方法来调查媒体创新如何促进土著新闻对社会变革的潜力。
