摘要

本研究采用传播地理学的理论框架和空间计量经济学的分析工具，利用审计媒体联盟收集的报纸发行量数据（五年内n=1925），首次对美国报纸发行量进行了空间实证分析。从2018年到2022年，在控制了空间和时间随机效应后，数据集中的大多数县的报纸发行量稳步下降（平均每年24.1%）。在美国各地发现了积极而显著的空间自相关。空间关联结果的地方指标确定了四种类型的空间集群，它们对报纸发行的地方空间分布提供了更细致的理解：新闻沙漠、新闻绿洲、新闻岛和新闻沙漠边缘。该研究还使用贝叶斯时空模型来确定对报纸发行量下降的空间结构更敏感的区域。

The Geography of Newspaper Circulations: A Spatial Taxonomy of “News(Paper) Deserts” in the United States

Using the newspaper circulation data collected through the Alliance for Audited Media (n = 1,925 across five years), this study provides the first empirical spatial analysis of newspaper circulation in the US, employing the theoretical framework of communication geography and the analytical tool of spatial econometrics. From 2018 to 2022, a steady decline (at an average of 24.1% per year) in newspaper circulation was observed in most of the counties in the dataset, after controlling for spatial and temporal random effects. A positive and significant spatial autocorrelation was found across the US. The local indicators of spatial association results identified four types of spatial clusters that offer a more nuanced understanding of the local spatial distribution of newspaper circulation: news deserts, news oases, news islands, and the fringe of news deserts. The study also used Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling to pinpoint the regions that are more sensitive to the spatial structure regarding the decline of newspaper circulation.
