Abstract

Using data from 146 countries, this study empirically tests the relationship between conflict and press freedom. Holding all else constant, the results indicate that the relationship between conflict and press freedom is best described as nonlinear such that the greatest conflict is observed at an intermediate level of press freedom. It is theorized that while past research has found that greater press freedom serves to reduce conflict, governments with a tightly controlled press can also observe lower levels of conflict as these government can use their control to censored information, images, and messaging to minimize conflict and unrest.
冲突与新闻自由
本研究使用来自146个国家的数据,实证检验了冲突与新闻自由之间的关系。在保持所有其他因素不变的情况下,结果表明冲突与新闻自由之间的关系最好描述为非线性,因此在新闻自由的中间水平上观察到最大的冲突。从理论上讲,虽然过去的研究发现,更大的新闻自由有助于减少冲突,但严格控制新闻的政府也可以观察到较低水平的冲突,因为这些政府可以利用他们的控制来审查信息、图像和信息,以尽量减少冲突和动荡。
