This mixed-methods study examines how local television news informs a primarily Latino community by analyzing broadcasts recorded during a 2-month span in 2012 in Salinas, California, using cultivation theory. Its findings indicate a substantial focus on crime news stories and a disproportionate identification of Latinos as perpetrators of crime compared to the identification of Latinos as victims of crime. These patterns suggest a connection between local television news representations of Latino identity with perceptions of violence, even in predominantly Latino communities.

加利福尼亚萨利纳斯当地电视新闻

这项混合方法研究使用栽培理论，通过分析 2012 年在加利福尼亚州萨利纳斯的为期 2 个月的广播记录，研究当地电视新闻如何为主要是拉丁裔社区提供信息。其调查结果表明，与将拉丁美洲人认定为犯罪受害者相比，对犯罪新闻报道的大量关注以及将拉丁美洲人认定为犯罪者的比例不成比例。这些模式表明，即使在以拉丁裔为主的社区中，当地电视新闻对拉丁裔身份的描述与对暴力的看法之间也存在联系。
