摘要

虽然新闻奖项可以提升社会资本并标志着新闻质量，但它们往往强化了人们对新闻价值的有限、消极的看法。本研究以现有的获奖新闻摄影研究为基础，重点关注研究不足的学生摄影记者群体。本研究通过对来自美国全国学术新闻协会年度摄影大赛的 229 幅摄影作品的定性分析，分析了获奖学术摄影新闻作品中的主要视觉主题和普遍的新闻价值。这项探索性研究的结果表明，学生记者在视觉上将高中作为联系、合作和公民意识的场所，并对他们的世界进行了独特的积极描绘。研究结果还表明，在学生新闻摄影比赛中存在着主题、语气和技巧的传统化，尽管这种传统化所强化的主题与专业新闻摄影比赛中观察到的主题不同。

Visual representations of community in scholastic photojournalism: A thematic analysis of award-winning photographs from the national scholastic press association’s photo of the year contest

While journalism awards can enhance social capital and signify quality, they often reinforce a limited, negative perspective of what is newsworthy. This study builds on existing research examining award-winning photojournalism by focusing on the understudied population of student photojournalists. Via a qualitative analysis of 229 photographs from the National Scholastic Press Association’s Photo of the Year Contest, this research analyzes major visual themes and prevalent news values in award-winning scholastic photojournalism. The results from this exploratory study indicate that student journalists visually represent high school as a place for connection, collaboration, and citizenship and present a uniquely positive portrayal of their world. The findings also suggest that conventionalization of topics, tone, and techniques is present in student photojournalism award contests although the themes that are reinforced by this conventionalization are dissimilar to what has been observed in professional photojournalism contests.
