Abstract

ABSTRACT News media can serve as a public service actor by bringing attention to issues, topics, and areas that are bettering societies, such as providing coverage for a nonprofit sector. Driven by the agenda-setting and framing communication theories, this research project assesses how Russian nonprofits are presented in news media. More broadly, this study adds to the literature on the social role that news media plays in contemporary Russian society. We find that the Russian nonprofit sector is still finding its place within a larger Russian narrative, andRussian news media falls short in aiding its legitimization and unification. Specifically, the media presents nonprofit organizations as detached from their larger societal roles and mostly includes coverage of national organizations, their fundraising work, and activities.

作为公共服务主体的俄罗斯新闻媒体:探索对非营利组织的报道

新闻媒体可以作为一种公共服务行为者，通过引起人们对问题、话题和领域的关注来改善社会，例如为非营利部门提供报道。在议程设置和框架传播理论的推动下，本研究项目评估了俄罗斯非营利组织如何在新闻媒体中呈现。更广泛地说，这项研究增加了关于新闻媒体在当代俄罗斯社会中扮演的社会角色的文献。我们发现，俄罗斯的非营利部门仍然在更大的俄罗斯叙事中寻找自己的位置，俄罗斯的新闻媒体在帮助其合法化和统一方面做得不够。具体来说，媒体将非营利组织呈现为脱离其更大的社会角色，主要包括对全国性组织、其筹款工作和活动的报道。
