Abstract

Journalists play a key role in providing information to various publics affected by disasters or crises. They have important social and ethical responsibilities in relation to disseminating information during the various disaster phases. News media are important in shaping public responses to disasters and in connecting people and communities. This article explores how journalists can contribute towards communication about the management of disasters. It does so by drawing on a series of interviews with high-level emergency managers in eight countries. This article finds that there are key areas where simple changes to reporting approaches might facilitate significant change in approaches to reporting disasters.
新闻媒体对灾难的报道:帮助与阻碍
记者在向受灾害或危机影响的公众提供信息方面发挥着关键作用。在灾害的各个阶段,他们在传播信息方面负有重要的社会和道德责任。新闻媒体在塑造公众对灾害的反应以及将人民和社区联系起来方面发挥着重要作用。本文探讨了记者如何为灾害管理方面的沟通做出贡献。它通过对八个国家的高级应急管理人员进行一系列采访来实现这一目标。本文发现,在一些关键领域,对报告方法的简单更改可能会促进报告灾难方法的重大更改。
