ABSTRACT

This manuscript examines the sourcing practices of climate change editorials published in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today between 2014 and 2017. Utilizing a critical political economic approach, we found that despite the ideological differences between the newspapers, each relied on sourcing practices that emphasized the views of elite political and economic actors with often no scientific training. Furthermore, our examination indicates a shared interest in politicizing scientific debates through weaponized sourcing practices that undermine science in favor of partisanship.

精英公司：2014–2017年的采购趋势声望媒体气候变化社论

摘要

本手稿考察了2014年至2017年间在《纽约时报》，《华尔街日报》和《今日美国》上发表的气候变化社论的采购实践。利用一种批判性的政治经济学方法，我们发现尽管各报纸之间在意识形态上存在差异，但它们都依赖于经常没有经过科学培训就强调精英政治和经济行为者观点的采购实践。此外，我们的检查表明，通过武器采购实践破坏科学而支持党派关系，人们将政治辩论政治化的共同利益。
