摘要

自杀是一个具有重大新闻价值的事件,媒体经常报道涉及同性恋者的自杀案件。然而,在印度,关于同性恋自杀案例报道质量的研究明显不足。本文旨在通过内容分析法研究印度网络新闻媒体对同性恋自杀事件的描述,从而弥补印度网络新闻媒体现有的不足。内容分析包括对数据进行定性浓缩和解释,从大量定性材料中提取关键的一致性和含义。所考虑的报纸时间跨度为 2005 年至 2022 年,数据收集工作于 2023 年进行。作者独自确定了有关同性恋自杀的新闻报道,并进行了后续的内容分析。研究发现,有关同性恋自杀的报道往往将同性恋伴侣划分为性别二元对立,并描述其被认为是由痴迷的同性恋爱所驱使的不经意的性行为,进而将自杀归咎于此。此外,这些报道还经常做以下事情:报道拒绝接受其子女身份的家庭,采用充满恐惧的语气,引用专家提供的错误信息,同时对受害者进行指责。因此,印度报纸上同性恋自杀报道的质量被认为是不合格的、令人反感的。为解决这一问题,研究建议有必要对新闻课程进行培训和课程更新。这样,记者就能掌握必要的技能,以敏感和尊重的态度报道同性恋者,特别是同性恋自杀事件。

“Dressed like boys, hair trimmed, a nalla kutti otherwise”: construction of queer suicide in Indian online news media
Suicide is a significant newsworthy event, and the media often cover cases involving queer individuals. However, there is a notable lack of research on the quality of reporting of queer suicide cases within the Indian context. This article aims to address the existing gap in Indian online news media by investigating the portrayal of queer suicide via content analysis. Content analysis involves qualitatively condensing and interpreting data to extract key consistencies and meanings from a plethora of qualitative material. The newspapers considered span from 2005 to 2022, with data collection conducted in 2023. The author alone identified news articles on queer suicide and conducted the subsequent content analysis. The study reveals that reporting on queer suicide tends to divide queer couples into the gender binary and describes what it deems to be careless sexual conduct driven by obsessive queer love, which, in turn, is blamed for the suicide. Moreover, these reports often do the following: feature families who refuse to accept their children’s identities, adopt dread-filled tones, and cite experts who provide incorrect information while engaging in victim blaming. As a result, the quality of queer suicide reporting in Indian newspapers is deemed substandard and offensive. To address this issue, the study proposes the need for training and curriculum updates in journalistic courses. This way, reporters can develop the skills necessary to sensitively and respectfully report on queer individuals in general and on queer suicide in particular.
