Abstract

Cross-national media freedom comparison is often based on Western-biased indices published by organizations such as Freedom House or Reporters Without Borders. Additionally, Eurocentric analysis and comparison are endorsed by the application of hegemonic media systems models to compare media environments. This study argues that cultural contextualization is indispensable to challenging the prevailing Eurocentrism. Comparison of the ‘connotative’ contexts of Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand demonstrates the analytical and explanatory power of inductively inferred variables to understand the formation of political communication. The comparison highlights factors which go beyond the comparison of media systems using predefined categories and models.

东南亚媒体自由影响比较：马来西亚、缅甸和泰国的内涵语境因素

跨国媒体自由比较通常基于自由之家或无国界记者组织发布的偏向西方的指数。此外，以欧洲为中心的分析和比较得到了霸权媒体系统模型的应用来比较媒体环境的支持。本文认为，文化语境化对于挑战盛行的欧洲中心主义是不可或缺的。对马来西亚、缅甸和泰国“内涵”语境的比较显示了归纳推断变量对理解政治传播形成的分析和解释能力。这种比较突出了使用预定义类别和模型的媒体系统的比较之外的因素。
