摘要

报纸把最重要的新闻登在头版。在这项研究中，作者分析了2017年至2019年期间《科威特时报》的头版新闻报道，以确定当地新闻是否比国际新闻更普遍，反之亦然。该研究还对这一时期发表的头版新闻进行了分类和检查。结果显示，《科威特时报》发表的本地新闻(31.7%)少于国际新闻(68.3%)。有关政府和政治的报道(46.8%)最为突出。这些发现与报纸通常发表更多本地新闻而不是国际新闻的预期相矛盾。需要注意的是，科威特的外籍人口大约是当地人口的三倍。

Does local news always dominate newspaper front-page news? A study of the Kuwait Times, 2017–2019

ABSTRACT Newspapers publish the most important stories on their front pages. In this study, the authors analyzed front-page news stories in the Kuwait Times, between 2017 and 2019, to determine whether local news was more prevalent than international stories or vice versa. The study also categorized and examined the front-page stories published in that period. Results show that the Kuwait Times published fewer local (31.7%) than international stories (68.3%). Stories about government and politics (46.8%) were most prominent. These findings contradict the expectation that newspapers generally publish more local than international stories. The caveat is that Kuwait’s expatriate population is about three times that of locals.
