Coverage of emerging technologies: A comparison between print and online media
论文题名译名
新兴技术的报道:印刷媒体与网络媒体的比较
摘要
This study explores differences in volume of coverage and thematic content between US print news and online media coverage for an emerging technology – nanotechnology. We found that while American print news media and Google News coverage of this emerging technology has peaked and started to decline, Google Blog Search coverage of nanotechnology is still growing. Additionally, our data show discrepancies in thematic content of online and print news coverage. Specifically, online users are more likely to encounter environmentally themed content relating to nanotechnology than are users of American print newspapers. Differences in the amount of coverage of nanotechnology in print news and online media as well as thematic content suggest that public discourse on related issues will be shaped, in part, by media consumers’ preferred information platform.
中文摘要
本研究探讨了美国印刷新闻和在线媒体对新兴技术——纳米技术的报道量和主题内容的差异。我们发现,虽然美国印刷新闻媒体和谷歌新闻对这一新兴技术的报道已经达到顶峰并开始下降,但谷歌博客搜索对纳米技术的报道仍在增长。此外,我们的数据显示在线和印刷新闻报道的主题内容存在差异。具体来说,与美国印刷报纸的用户相比,在线用户更有可能遇到与纳米技术相关的环境主题内容。印刷新闻和在线媒体以及主题内容对纳米技术的报道量差异表明,相关问题的公众讨论将在一定程度上取决于媒体消费者偏好的信息平台。
