摘要

在制度薄弱和媒体格局高度混乱的国家，公民如何浏览新闻?我们通过跨国数据集考察了一个典型的南欧案例——希腊。结合来自不同调查的数据，我们发现在希腊——与样本中的其他五个国家不同——社交媒体比新闻媒体更受信任，可以帮助个人驾驭新闻环境。对开放式调查答案的主题分析表明，由于对传统新闻媒体的不信任，希腊受访者接受替代新闻来源(社交媒体、数字媒体)的人数创历史新高。考虑到媒体和政治机构的历史相互作用，我们将希腊作为新闻机构和机构薄弱国家信息环境的反乌托邦案例。

‘Social Media Help Me Distinguish between Truth and Lies’: News Consumption in the Polarised and Low-trust Media Landscape of Greece

ABSTRACT How do citizens in countries with weak institutions and highly disrupted media landscapes navigate news? We examine a typical South European case, Greece, via cross-national data sets. Combining data from a pool of different surveys, we show that in Greece – unlike the other five countries of the sample – social media are more trusted than news media to help individuals navigate their news environment. A thematic analysis of open-ended survey answers indicates that Greek respondents embrace alternative news sources (social media, digital-born outlets) in record-high numbers because of their distrust of traditional news outlets. Taking into account the historic interplay of media and political institutions, we present Greece as a dystopian case for news organisations and the information environment in countries with weak institutions.
