摘要

新媒体在新闻消费和公共议程审议中引入了能够破坏民主过程规范假设的机制(回声室、过滤气泡)。然而,大多数研究关注的是西欧和美国的病例。在本文中,我们研究了俄罗斯在线公共领域的碎片化。我们以先前的研究为基础,提供了在线公共领域各部分之间网络连接的证据。我们收集了一年内(2017年)在最大的俄语平台上发布的12家具有线下和在线影响力的新闻机构的新闻项目(N = 210,197)和元数据。遵循基于主题建模和定性阅读的计算方法,我们将网络片段与其新闻议程相匹配。虽然我们没有发现分裂的证据,但我们发现它们的议程存在分歧。我们讨论了这些发现及其对数字环境中公众和议程碎片化讨论的贡献。

Public agenda fragmentation beyond established democracies: the case of Russian online publics in 2017
ABSTRACT New media introduce mechanics in the news consumption and deliberation of public agenda capable of disrupting the democratic process's normative assumptions (echo chambers, filter bubbles). However, most research has been concerned with cases from Western Europe and the US. In this paper, we examine the fragmentation of the Russian public sphere online. We build on previous works with evidence on networked connections between segments of the online public sphere. We collected news items (N = 210,197) and metadata of 12 news outlets with offline and online reach posted on the largest Russian-language platform during one year (2017). Following a computational approach based on topic modeling and qualitative reading, we match the network segments with their news agendas. Although we do not find evidence of fragmentation, we find divergencies in their agendas. We discuss these findings and their contribution to the discussion of fragmentation of publics and agendas in the digital environment.
