This study inquires whether cultural proximity may explain how media handle terrorism in a global village era where cultural proximity may have given way to cosmopolitanism in news-making. Findings indicate that although loss of life is not culture-bound, cultural proximity persists, as comes through in the sheer contrast in the amount of coverage devoted to Paris versus Beirut. This distinction ought to be qualified, for even with Paris, the self-interest of the nation-state was prioritized, meaning that national security and welfare come first, followed by those of culturally proximate locales. Sensational violence was emphasized for both Lebanese and French victims.

在 ISIS 时代配置恐怖主义：纽约时报对 2015 年贝鲁特和巴黎袭击的报道

这项研究探讨了文化邻近性是否可以解释媒体如何在地球村时代处理恐怖主义，在这个时代文化邻近性可能已经让位于新闻制作中的世界主义。调查结果表明，虽然生命损失与文化无关，但文化亲近性仍然存在，这体现在对巴黎和贝鲁特的报道量的绝对对比中。这种区别应该是有条件的，因为即使在巴黎，民族国家的自身利益也被优先考虑，这意味着国家安全和福利是第一位的，其次是文化上邻近地区的。黎巴嫩和法国的受害者都强调了耸人听闻的暴力行为。
