ABSTRACT Mainstream US news coverage of #MeToo reprises some of the central limitations of news coverage of rape and sexual assault from prior decades. However, #MeToo coverage also includes some indications of the contributions of corporate culture and rape culture to the abuses of power that have taken place. Through a close analysis of New York Times and Washington Post coverage of two cases, those of Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer, this article shows how most stories are framed from the point of view of the perpetrator or the organization of which he is a part. Following limitations of coverage in earlier eras, victims and their specific claims and experiences are quickly sidelined. Nonetheless, some stories name the problematic behaviors of perpetrators and discuss abuses of power and the role of corporate culture. These elements, while included, are dwarfed by the preponderance of coverage that is framed as centrally about either the accused or about the costs of his dismissal from the organization of which he was a part. In the context of this analysis, the final section of the article proposes several suggestions for improved coverage of #MeToo cases.

#MeToo 有问题的新闻框架

摘要#MeToo 的美国主流新闻报道重现了过去几十年强奸和性侵犯新闻报道的一些核心局限性。然而，#MeToo 报道还包括一些迹象表明企业文化和强奸文化对已经发生的滥用权力的贡献。通过仔细分析《纽约时报》和《华盛顿邮报》对查理·罗斯和马特·劳尔的两个案件的报道，本文展示了大多数故事是如何从肇事者或他所参与的组织的角度构建的。由于早期覆盖范围的限制，受害者及其具体要求和经历很快就被排除在外。尽管如此，一些故事还是列举了肇事者的问题行为，并讨论了权力滥用和企业文化的作用。这些元素虽然包括在内，与被集中在被告或其被其所在组织解雇的费用相关的报道占主导地位相比，这些报道显得相形见绌。在此分析的背景下，文章的最后一部分提出了一些建议，以提高#MeToo 案例的覆盖范围。
