Abstract

Emphasis framing has routinely been applied to hard news. This article extends it to "softer" media texts. It considers a specific example of how travel blogs use the frame of heroism, and the underlying ideologies it reveals about how people imagine a destination and conceive of Others. We analyze 400 travel blog posts to assess how bloggers recount tales of overcoming different challenges, and how this subsequently directs their own role performances. This article offers the use of heroism in travel blogs as evidence that emphasis framing is a critical aspect of nonnews media texts, and that it can also be interpreted to offer insights into ideologies that underpin culture. This article argues for more analysis of emphasis framing in lifestyle texts as a means to identify social realities and the role the media plays in creating and maintaining them.

危险的生意:通过重点框架探索旅行博客中的英雄主义

强调框架通常被应用于硬新闻。本文将其扩展到“软”媒体文本。它考虑了一个旅行博客如何使用英雄主义框架的具体例子，以及它揭示了人们如何想象目的地和想象他人的潜在意识形态。我们分析了400篇旅游博客文章，以评估博主如何讲述克服不同挑战的故事，以及这些故事随后如何指导他们自己的角色表现。这篇文章提供了旅行博客中英雄主义的使用，作为强调框架是非新闻媒体文本的一个重要方面的证据，它也可以被解释为对支撑文化的意识形态的见解。本文主张更多地分析生活方式文本中的重点框架，作为识别社会现实的手段，以及媒体在创造和维持社会现实中所起的作用。

期刊介绍： Tourism, Culture & Communication is the longest established international refereed journal that is dedicated to the cultural dimensions of tourism. The editors adopt a purposefully broad scope that welcomes readers and contributors from diverse disciplines and who are receptive in a wide variety of research methods. While potential cultural issues and identities are unlimited, there is a requirement that their consideration should relate to the tourism and hospitality domain. Tourism, Culture & Communication provides readers with multidisciplinary perspectives that consider topics and fields extending beyond national and indigenous cultures as they are traditionally understood and recognized. Coverage may extend to issues such as cultural dimensions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender and tourism, managing tourists with disabilities, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism. Contributions that draw upon the communications literature to explain the tourism phenomenon are also particularly welcome. Beyond the focus on culture and communications, the editors recognize the important interrelationships with economies, society, politics, and the environment. The journal publishes high-quality research and applies a double-blind refereeing process. Tourism, Culture & Communication consists of main articles, major thematic reviews, position papers on theory and practice, and substantive case studies. A reports section covers specific initiatives and projects, “hot topics,” work-in-progress, and critical reviews.
