Abstract

From the time of their introduction in Paris and other French cities in the summer of 2018, free-floating electric scooters have quickly grown in popularity and numbers, creating a conundrum for Paris and other municipalities over their regulation. This study aims to explore the representation, in French mainstream newspapers with contrasting ideological viewpoints, of free floating e-scooters, their users and operators, as well as public authorities’ response to the problems they caused. Articles from Le Figaro and Le Monde newspapers were collected between June 2018 and September 2019, generating a dataset of 107 articles and 741 occurrences of appraisal. The analysis highlights a very negative view of e-scooters, most particularly over safety issues and their use of public space. Articles from Le Figaro were also harshly critical of the ways in which public authorities struggled to regulate this new means of transport.

摘要

自 2018 年夏天在巴黎和其他法国城市推出以来,自由漂浮的电动滑板车的受欢迎程度和数量迅速增长,给巴黎和其他城市的监管带来了难题。本研究旨在探讨在法国主流报纸中具有不同意识形态观点的自由浮动电动滑板车、其用户和运营商的表现,以及公共当局对其造成的问题的反应。文章从费加罗报世界报2018 年 6 月至 2019 年 9 月期间收集报纸,生成包含 107 篇文章和 741 次评价的数据集。该分析强调了对电动滑板车的非常负面的看法,尤其是在安全问题及其对公共空间的使用方面。《费加罗报》的文章也严厉批评了公共当局努力监管这种新交通工具的方式。
