摘要

很高兴与大家分享两篇令人兴奋的论坛新文章，这两篇文章阐述了关于政治传播学术中关键问题的明确研究议程。陆英丹，彭一朗，沈翠华的《视觉错误信息可信度认知研究议程》指出了当代学术界研究政治错误信息的两个主要局限性：1）相对缺乏对视觉错误信息的分析；2）对视觉特征和形式如何与可信度判断联系的理解不全。Nikki Usher和Sanghoon KimLeffingwell的《新闻沙漠问题的真正问题：在地方新闻和民主学术中扎根地点、准确性和位置》批评了“新闻沙漠”的概念，认为这个词过于简化了我们对地点的理解，存在测量不一致的问题，并高估了地方报纸在民主国家中的作用。

Advancing Vital Research Agendas in Political Communication Research: A Forum on Visual Misinformation and the Problems of News Deserts

It is a pleasure to share two new exciting Forum articles that articulate clear research agendas concerning critical issues in political communication scholarship. Yingdan Lu, Yilang Peng, and Shen Cuihua’s “An Agenda for Studying Credibility Perceptions of Visual Misinformation” identifies two major limitations in contemporary scholarship studying political misinformation: 1) the comparative lack of scholarship that incorporates analyses of visual misinformation and 2) an incomplete understanding of how visual features and formats are associated with credibility judgments. Nikki Usher and Sanghoon KimLeffingwell’s “The Real Problems with the Problem of News Deserts: Toward Rooting Place, Precision, and Positionality in Scholarship on Local News and Democracy” critiques the concept of “news deserts,” arguing that the term oversimplifies our understanding of place, suffers from problems of inconsistent measurement, and over-valorizes the role of local newspapers in democracies.
