ABSTRACT

The paper analyses the role of alternative far-right media in promoting and organizing mobilization against the Global Compact for Migration – the first intergovernmentally negotiated agreement, prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, covering all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner. Exploring four European alternative far-right media: PI-News in Germany, Il Primato Nazionale in Italy, the UK localization of Breitbart, and the transnational Voice of Europe, we show that these media have gone beyond (dis)informing and have actively mobilized and channeled indignation through petitioning and protest organization. While most research on far-right media practices so far has focused either on social media interactions or exclusively on ‘disinformation’ and ‘fake news’, we analyse web based alternative news media as part of а far-right social movement that has successfully used progressive left-wing protests repertoires and tactics. We argue that alternative far-right news media act as ‘indignation mobilization mechanisms’ that not only fuel the indignation of the public by channeling the messages of far-right politicians but also channel bottom-up indignation through online campaigns, petitions, and offline street protests. This unabashedly biased and mobilization-oriented approach is what distinguishes far-right media from mainstream media and guarantees them a loyal and dedicated supporter base.

摘要

该文件分析了另类极右翼媒体在推动和组织动员反对《全球移民契约》方面的作用——这是在联合国主持下制定的第一个政府间谈判协议，以整体和全面的方式涵盖国际移民的所有方面. 探索四种欧洲另类极右翼媒体：德国的 PI-News、意大利的 Il Primato Nazionale、英国本土化的 Breitbart 和跨国欧洲之声，我们表明这些媒体已经超越（不）告知并积极动员并通过请愿和抗议组织来表达愤慨。虽然迄今为止对极右媒体实践的大多数研究要么集中在社交媒体互动上，要么只关注“虚假信息”和“假新闻”，我们将基于网络的替代新闻媒体分析为极右翼社会运动的一部分，该运动成功地使用了进步的左翼抗议曲目和策略。我们认为，另类极右翼新闻媒体充当“愤怒动员机制”，不仅通过传递极右翼政客的信息来激起公众的愤慨，而且还通过在线竞选、请愿和线下街头传播自下而上的愤慨。抗议。这种毫不掩饰的偏见和以动员为导向的方法是极右媒体与主流媒体的区别，并保证了他们拥有忠诚和专注的支持者基础。我们认为，另类极右翼新闻媒体充当“愤怒动员机制”，不仅通过传递极右翼政客的信息来激起公众的愤慨，而且还通过在线竞选、请愿和线下街头传播自下而上的愤慨。抗议。这种毫不掩饰的偏见和以动员为导向的方法是极右媒体与主流媒体的区别，并保证了他们拥有忠诚和专注的支持者基础。我们认为，另类极右翼新闻媒体充当“愤怒动员机制”，不仅通过传递极右翼政客的信息来激起公众的愤慨，而且还通过在线竞选、请愿和线下街头传播自下而上的愤慨。抗议。这种毫不掩饰的偏见和以动员为导向的方法是极右媒体与主流媒体的区别，并保证了他们拥有忠诚和专注的支持者基础。
