摘要

地方媒体在向公民提供信息和机会，使其参与并与当地社区建立联系方面发挥着关键作用。近年来，地方新闻媒体和地方新闻的提供有所减少，这可能影响居民的社区意识。2019年对2038名澳大利亚地区新闻受众进行的一项在线调查显示，当地新闻消费和与当地组织的接触与社区依恋感呈正相关。另一方面，地方新闻机构的关闭对新闻受众对社区的依恋产生了负面影响。研究发现，信任在新闻消费、社区组织参与和社区依恋之间起着重要的中介作用。这些发现突出了提供当地新闻和信息以及受众对它们的信任在产生社区依恋方面的重要性。在缺乏可靠替代方案的情况下，该研究就新闻媒体关闭对社区福祉的影响提供了有价值的理论和实践意义。

News Closures, Trust, and Community Attachment among Regional News Audiences: A Case Study of Australia

Local media play a critical role in providing information and opportunities for citizens to participate and feel attached to their local community. In recent years, there has been a decline in local news outlets and the provision of local news, which can impact residents’ sense of community. Findings from an online survey of 2,038 Australian regional news audiences conducted in 2019 reveal that local news consumption and engagement with local organisations are positively related to feelings of community attachment. On the other hand, closures of local news outlets have had a negative impact on news audiences’ attachment to their community. Trust was found to play an important mediating role between news consumption, engagement with community organisations, and community attachment. These findings highlight the importance of the provision of local news and information, and audiences’ trust in them, in engendering community attachment. The study provides valuable theoretical and practical implications regarding the impact of news outlet closures on community wellbeing in the absence of credible alternatives.

期刊介绍： ournalism Practice provides opportunities for reflective, critical and research-based studies focused on the professional practice of journalism. The emphasis on journalism practice does not imply any false or intellectually disabling disconnect between theory and practice, but simply an assertion that Journalism Practice’s primary concern is to analyse and explore issues of practice and professional relevance. Journalism Practice is an intellectually rigorous journal with all contributions being refereed anonymously by acknowledged international experts in the field. An intellectually lively, but professionally experienced, Editorial Board with a wide-ranging experience of journalism practice advises and supports the Editor. Journalism Practice is devoted to: the study and analysis of significant issues arising from journalism as a field of professional practice; relevant developments in journalism training and education, as well as the construction of a reflective curriculum for journalism; analysis of journalism practice across the distinctive but converging media platforms of magazines, newspapers, online, radio and television; and the provision of a public space for practice-led, scholarly contributions from journalists as well as academics. Journalism Practice’s ambitious scope includes: the history of journalism practice; the professional practice of journalism; journalism training and education; journalism practice and new technology; journalism practice and ethics; and journalism practice and policy.
