Abstract

In a recent commentary, Seth Lewis calls for a “rethinking” of the “objects and objectives” of journalism studies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst not underestimating the significant effects of this ongoing global health crisis, the authors of this commentary do not share the sense of urgency for revising the field on such a broad scale. We wish to raise three key points that criticize and supplement Lewis’ reflections in light of existing debates in and beyond journalism studies and digital journalism studies in particular. These concern (1) the assumption that news journalism is relevant independent of its orientation towards audiences, an assumption that is problematized especially in digital journalism studies, (2) the overlooked importance of journalism education in a global perspective to create impact of research, and (3) the problematic assumption of a common identity of journalism studies scholars across the field as such. In this reply, the authors wish to make a pledge towards a greater importance of diversity in relation to global journalism studies and the importance of the field of digital journalism studies to realize such an ambition.

走向全球新闻研究的多样性。对赛斯·C·刘易斯的回复

摘要

在最近的评论中,塞思·刘易斯呼吁在 COVID-19 大流行之后“重新思考”新闻研究的“对象和目标”。虽然没有低估这场持续的全球健康危机的重大影响,但本评论的作者并不认同在如此广泛的范围内修改该领域的紧迫感。鉴于新闻研究和数字新闻研究内外的现有争论,我们希望提出三个关键点来批评和补充刘易斯的思考。这些关注(1)假设新闻新闻与其面向受众的方向无关,这一假设在数字新闻研究中尤其受到质疑,(2)在全球视角下新闻教育对创造研究影响的重要性被忽视,(3) 对整个领域的新闻研究学者的共同身份的假设存在问题。在此回复中,作者希望承诺在全球新闻研究中更加重视多样性,以及数字新闻研究领域对实现这一雄心的重要性。
