摘要

大众传媒是研究接触不同公众的主要途径，但相对而言，很少有同行评审的科学论文成为流行的科学新闻。许多看门人决定哪些研究手稿完成这一传播途径，由此产生的媒体景观影响公众对科学领域的理解。在这里，我们比较了不同地理区域的科学和通俗考古学出版。在一份专业期刊和六份普通科学期刊上发表的1155篇考古学论文中，有32%被15个美国新闻来源中的至少一个报道过。混合效应逻辑回归模型揭示了不同新闻来源的差异，但与中国/台湾相比，英国、以色列/巴勒斯坦和澳大利亚的考古学论文总体上更有可能获得报道。这种差异引起了人们的关注，因为考古学影响了身份和文化成就的概念，并被种族主义、民族主义意识形态所滥用。我们建议研究传播的行为者多样化考古学报道的方法。

Regional disparities in US media coverage of archaeology research

Mass media represents a primary avenue for research to reach diverse publics, but relatively few peer-reviewed scientific papers become popular science news. Numerous gatekeepers determine which research manuscripts complete this dissemination pathway, and the resulting media landscape influences public understandings of scientific fields. Here, we compare scientific and popular publishing of archaeology about different geographic regions. Of 1155 archaeology papers in one specialist and six general science journals across 6 years, 32% were reported by at least one of 15 US news sources. Mixed-effects logistic regression models revealed variation across news sources, but overall papers about archaeology in United Kingdom, Israel/Palestine, and Australia were significantly more likely to receive coverage, compared to China/Taiwan. This disparity raises concerns as archaeology influences notions of identity and cultural achievement, and has been misappropriated by racist, nationalist ideologies. We recommend ways for actors in research dissemination to diversify archaeology coverage.
