摘要

摘要本研究考察了中东，特别是埃及、约旦和阿拉伯联合酋长国的事实核查组织所遵循的新闻选择过程，以及这些组织在威权统治下工作时所面临的问题。通过审查六个阿拉伯语组织（Da Begad、HereszTruth、Fatabyyano、Matsad2sh、MisbarFC和Saheeh Masr）脸书页面上发布的经过事实核查的新闻，本研究手动分析了约5000篇经过事实核查新闻，以了解对阿拉伯总统、政府首脑和统治者进行政治事实核查的程度，以及最受验证的新闻主题。结果表明，中东的组织很少对阿拉伯统治者进行事实核查或反驳他们的说法，而他们的新闻选择过程优先考虑人类利益的话题。这项研究表明，由于影响该地区媒体氛围的把关影响，阿拉伯事实核查人员诉诸自我审查。

Political fact-checking in the Middle East: What news can be verified in the Arab world?

Abstract This study examines the news selection processes followed by fact-checking organizations in the Middle East, specifically Egypt, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, and gatekeeping such organizations face while working under authoritarian rule. By reviewing fact-checked news posted on the Facebook pages of six Arabic language organizations: Da Begad, HereszTruth, Fatabyyano, Matsad2sh, MisbarFC, and Saheeh Masr, this study manually analyzes about 5,000 fact-checked news stories to understand the extent of political fact-checking performed on Arab presidents, heads of government, and rulers, along with the most verified news topics. Results show that organizations in the Middle East rarely fact-check Arab rulers or refute their claims, while their news selection process prioritizes human interest topics. The study suggests that Arab fact-checkers resort to self-censorship due to gatekeeping influences that impact the region’s media climate.
