摘要

2020 年广为人知的乔治-弗洛伊德和布罗娜-泰勒之死增加了社会对美国警察使用武力事件的关注。这些事件引起的关注使人们对警察的战术产生了分歧。此外,当前的政治气候凸显了对立的观点,要么强调警察改革的必要性,要么强调对法律和秩序的坚定立场。媒体的高度报道是否能影响个人,这一点广受争议。本研究使用了美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)和福克斯新闻(Fox News)官方 X(前身为 Twitter)的历史帖子,时间从 2020 年 3 月 25 日开始,到 2020 年 11 月 3 日结束。研究人员对这一样本进行了内容分析,以开发每个新闻提供商的主题信息。结果表明,两家新闻机构都使用政治意识形态来描述相同的报道事件。美国有线电视新闻网特别关注受害者,而福克斯新闻则强调公民示威的违法性。美国有线电视新闻网的报道以公众示威和刑事司法改革的必要性为中心。而福克斯新闻的报道则以骚乱为特点,呼吁执法部门坚定不移地维护公共安全。所描述的特征与警官的 "战士 "和 "守护者 "角色的视角相同。

Law and Disorder: Assessing Conflicting News Coverage of Police Use of Force

Law and Disorder: Assessing Conflicting News Coverage of Police Use of Force

The 2020 publicized deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor have increased social attention to incidents of police use of force in the USA. The spotlight of these events has created a divisive outlook on police tactics. Further, the current political climate has accentuated opposing viewpoints that highlight either the need for police reform or a steadfast stance on law and order. It is widely disputed whether heightened media reporting can influence individuals. This study uses historical posts from the official X, formerly known as Twitter, handles of CNN and Fox News beginning March 25, 2020, and ending November 3, 2020. A content analysis of this sample was conducted to develop thematic messages from each news provider. Results indicate that both news sources use political ideologies to characterize the same reported events. CNN focused specifically on victimology while Fox News emphasized the lawlessness of citizen demonstrations. CNN coverage centers on public demonstrations and the need for criminal justice reform. Alternatively, FOX News coverage characterizes riots and the call for steadfast law enforcement efforts to maintain public safety. The described characteristics share perspectives from the “warrior” and “guardian” roles of police officers.
