This article considers the ‘Palestine Papers’ as both a major news story carried by Al Jazeera in 2011 and an enduring digital artefact. These leaked documents revealed that during peace talks, the Palestinian Authority offered concessions to Israel that went beyond the Palestinian national consensus, yet failed to advance the cause of statehood. While many predicted a third Palestinian uprising, the impact of this scandal appeared limited. However, by drawing upon Harold Innis’ insights concerning the time-binding versus space-binding ‘biases’ of media and institutions, a more complex picture is revealed, one unamenable to conventional understandings of media effects.

评估媒体事件的“影响”：对半岛电视台巴勒斯坦文件泄露的 Innisian 评估

本文认为“巴勒斯坦报纸”既是半岛电视台在 2011 年发表的重要新闻，也是经久不衰的数字文物。这些泄露的文件显示，在和谈期间，巴勒斯坦权力机构向以色列做出了超出巴勒斯坦民族共识的让步，但未能推进建国事业。虽然许多人预测巴勒斯坦会发生第三次起义，但这一丑闻的影响似乎有限。然而，通过借鉴哈罗德·英尼斯关于媒体和机构的时间约束与空间约束“偏见”的见解，揭示了一幅更复杂的图景，这是对媒体效果的传统理解无法适应的。
