Abstract This paper considers the performativity of shaming in investigative TV-journalism. It argues that the construction of shame is not only a constituent element in investigative TV-journalism but also an important factor in pursuing some of its main objectives: establishing morals, exercising social control, reinforcing journalistic identity and ideology, and competing for attention in a diversified media theatre where drama, entertainment and emotional thrills are the hard currency. An empirical study of the Swedish TV programme Uppdrag granskning, is used to inductively propose three categories of shaming and to give some examples of the ways in which shaming is performed. The core of the paper is a theory driven analysis in which the performativity of shaming in investigative TV-journalism is analysed in the light of some converging media and societal trends.

“羞辱魔鬼！”

摘要本文考虑了电视新闻调查中羞辱的表现力。它认为，羞耻的建构不仅是电视新闻学的组成部分，而且是实现其主要目标的重要因素：树立道德，行使社会控制权，加强新闻工作者的身份和意识形态以及在电视节目中争夺注意力。多元化的媒体剧院，戏剧，娱乐和情感刺激是硬通货。瑞典电视节目Uppdrag granskning的一项实证研究被用来归纳地提出三种类型的遮蔽，并提供一些进行遮蔽的方式的示例。
