Abstract

The article is based on a critical case study of the BBC’s investigative documentary titled Stadiums of Hate and the public’s response to it. The documentary was broadcasted 11 days before the kickoff of Euro 2012 (UEFA [Union of European Football Associations] European Championships in Football), the first sport mega event hosted in Poland and Ukraine. The main theme was football-related racism and violence allegedly threatening the safety of the fans coming to the tournament. The article follows Amanda Rohloff’s proposal combining the Eliasian conceptual framework of civilizing processes with the moral panics approach to describe the effort to amplify the spiral of public outcry toward the hosts of Euro 2012 in an attempt to modernize and civilize the Eastern European world of football. The moral panics spiral was brought to an end by the tournament which did not justify grim predictions. The article combines analysis of media content and the public statements with interviews conducted with some of the informants of the BBC journalists.

BBC纪录片“仇恨的体育场”和新闻的制造:道德恐慌和媒体操纵的案例研究

这篇文章是基于英国广播公司的调查纪录片《体育场的仇恨》和公众对它的反应的一个重要案例研究。该纪录片是在波兰和乌克兰首次举办的大型体育赛事2012年欧洲足球锦标赛(UEFA[欧洲足球协会联盟]欧洲足球锦标赛)开赛前11天播出的。主题是与足球有关的种族主义和暴力，据称威胁到前来观看比赛的球迷的安全。这篇文章遵循Amanda Rohloff的建议，将Eliasian文明进程的概念框架与道德恐慌的方法结合起来，描述了为了使东欧足球世界现代化和文明化而放大公众对2012年欧洲杯主办国的强烈抗议的努力。道德恐慌的螺旋式上升因世界杯而结束，但世界杯并没有证明悲观预测的合理性。这篇文章结合了对媒体内容和公开声明的分析，以及对BBC记者的一些线人的采访。
