摘要

新冠肺炎疫情加剧了虚假信息和阴谋叙事,尤其是在网络环境中。除了公共卫生方面的影响,地缘政治方面也是相关的,因为罗马尼亚是欧盟和北约的成员国,一直受到旨在破坏人们对西方信任的大量宣传企图的压力。本文的主要目的是探讨罗马尼亚公众所接触到的关于北约(西方模式的机构行动者代表)的在线信息类型,特别是评估信息传播的主要传播者、内容和模式。创建并过滤了Facebook提及的数据集(n=9705),并使用视觉网络分析来构建北约问题网络。对该网络的主要集群进行分析后发现,这两个最大的社区是根据政治分裂而构建的,而反西方媒体参与者Sputnik控制着一个单独的集群,但其内容渗透到其他几个集群中。对最频繁分发的内容的相关样本进行定性内容分析,以评估对北约的态度(在几个分析的文件中确定了消极立场)和阴谋叙事的发生(也是一个重要的存在)。

War of the Words. The Online Conversation about NATO in Romania: Communicators, Content, Communities
The Covid-19 infodemic has brought forth an intensification of disinformation and conspiracy narratives, especially in the online environment. Beside the public health implications, the geopolitical aspect is also relevant, since Romania, a member of the EU and NATO, has constantly been under pressure from a multitude of propaganda attempts meant to undermine people’s trust in the West. The main goal of this paper is to explore the type of online information that the Romanian public is exposed to regarding NATO, an institutional actor representative for the Western model, specifically to assess the main communicators, content, and patterns of information dissemination. A dataset of Facebook mentions was created and filtered (n=9705) and visual network analysis was employed to build a NATO issue network. The main clusters of this network were analyzed to reveal that the two largest communities are structured according to a political cleavage, while an anti-Western media actor, Sputnik, controls a separate cluster, but its content infiltrates several others. Qualitative content analysis on a relevance sample of the most frequently distributed content was employed to evaluate both attitudes toward NATO (negative stances were identified in several analyzed documents) and the occurrence of conspiracy narratives (also a significant presence).
