摘要

摘要美国广播新闻中提及非洲政府首脑，为美国新闻受众更好地了解非洲政治提供了一个框架——可以说，与强调冲突和欠发达的新闻框架相比，这个框架没有那么充满潜在的误解。本文报道了2003-2020年期间美国各种广播新闻节目的内容分析结果，以期了解这些报道对美国对非洲外交政策的影响。研究显示，在这项研究中的六个广播新闻节目中，只有三个——NPR的《考虑所有事情》、CNN新闻室和PBS新闻一小时——显著提到了非洲政府首脑，埃及和南非政府首脑受到了不成比例的关注。这种扭曲的新闻报道的拟议结果是美国公众舆论的贫乏，对美国的外交政策制定产生了影响。

Missing mentions: An analysis of references to African heads of government in US broadcast news

ABSTRACT References to African heads of government in broadcast news in the United States provides one framework through which the US news audience can better learn about African politics – and arguably one which is less fraught with potential misperceptions than news frames emphasising conflict and underdevelopment. This article reports the findings of a content analysis of various broadcast news programmes in the US over the period 2003–2020, with a view to the impact of that coverage on US foreign policy on Africa. What it reveals is that of the six broadcast news programmes in the study, only three – NPR's All Things Considered, CNN Newsroom and PBS NewsHour – made significant mention of African heads of government, and Egyptian and South African heads of government received disproportionate attention. The proposed result of such skewed news coverage is an impoverished US public opinion, with implications for US foreign policymaking.
