摘要

本文探讨了新的跨国公共行为体的作用及其对马来西亚公共审议过程的影响。马来西亚是世界上社交媒体最发达的国家之一，在线平台极大地影响着马来西亚的公共领域。我们的研究建议将数字新闻门户视为特定的“公共行动者”，因为它们在脆弱的国家公共领域促成了新的政治辩论。虽然国家媒体由国家控制，但数字新闻门户网站不仅提供了另一种新闻视角，而且是多样化声音的舞台。此外，它们将马来西亚公民话语与跨国政治辩论联系起来，例如人权和种族利益。对传统媒体和独立数字新闻门户的新闻记者和编辑进行了八次深入的半结构化访谈，结果提供了他们对数字新闻门户对马来西亚公共话语新方面的影响的看法。

Public actors in new spaces: A case study of digital Malaysia in transnational public deliberation

This article examines the role of new transnational public actors and their influence on public deliberation processes in Malaysia. Malaysia is one of the world’s most social media-connected countries where online platforms greatly influence the Malaysian public sphere. Our study suggests considering digital news portals as specific ‘public actors’ since they enable new political debates in an otherwise fragile national public sphere. While national media are controlled by the state, digital news portals offer not only an alternative news perspective but are a stage for a diversity of voices. Furthermore, they link the Malaysian civic discourse to transnational political debates, such as human rights and ethnic interests. Results from eight in-depth semi-structured interviews with news journalists and editors of traditional media and independent digital news portals provide insights into their perceptions concerning the implications of digital news portals for new aspects of public discourse in Malaysia.

期刊介绍： While one objective of Pacific Journalism Review is research into Pacific journalism theory and practice, the journal has also expanding its interest into new areas of research and inquiry that reflect the broader impact of contemporary media practice and education. A particular focus is on the cultural politics of the media, including the following issues: new media and social movements, indigenous cultures in the age of globalisation, the politics of tourism and development, the role of the media and the formation of national identity and the cultural influence of New Zealand as a branch of the global economy within the Pacific region. It also has a special interest in climate change, environmental and development studies in the media and communication and vernacular media in the region.
