Abstract

This article explores the dynamic relationship between international news organisations and politics in the United Kingdom and Russia. Using the 2014–15 Ukraine conflict as its case study, this research argues that humanitarianism has been applied to set the news agenda by RT. The BBC, on the other hand, used relatively less human rights frames but depicted Russia and Russia-backed separatists as responsible for the conflict. Despite the concepts of manufacturing consent and indexing may not capture the arguments in journalistic practice comprehensively, they are useful in explaining and revealing broader insights into the market and politics-driven media industry and the illiberal tendency in the reporting of international war/conflict in that news framing constitutes a vital soft power tool. This also raises the question that where should we draw lines of distinction between the state-sponsored soft power media RT and the publicly funded BBC.

BBC和RT对2014-2015年乌克兰冲突的新闻报道

本文探讨了英国和俄罗斯国际新闻机构与政治之间的动态关系。本研究以2014-15年乌克兰冲突为例，认为人道主义已经被rt应用于设定新闻议程。另一方面，BBC使用了相对较少的人权框架，但将俄罗斯和俄罗斯支持的分裂分子描述为冲突的责任。尽管制造同意和索引的概念可能无法全面捕捉新闻实践中的争论，但它们有助于解释和揭示对市场和政治驱动的媒体行业的更广泛见解，以及新闻框架构成重要软实力工具的国际战争/冲突报道中的不自由倾向。这也提出了一个问题:我们应该在哪里划分国家资助的软实力媒体RT和公共资助的BBC之间的界限?
