The resonance of media output plays an important role in the age of misinformation and fake news. While scholars have extensively studied resonance, they have mostly focused on whether and why particular messages align with the predispositions of their intended audience rather than systematically analyzing how they are interpreted by the wider population. Based on computational text analyses of the news media coverage from 118 outlets in France and weekly surveys of what people retained from the news during the same period, this paper investigates the ways in which the frames used by the media trigger different types of resonance in accordance with people’s diverse interpretations and utilizations of the messages to which they have been exposed. We theoretically argue that resonance is not just an objective alignment between a message and one’s predispositions, but a subjective interpretation and utilization of the message heard. We empirically identify three different types of subjective resonance: problem-solving, problem-aggravating, and problem-generating. This research contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms of resonance by expanding on previous works on the cognitive and emotional dimensions of resonance.

媒体输出的共鸣在错误信息和假新闻时代发挥着重要作用。虽然学者们对共鸣进行了广泛的研究，但他们主要关注特定信息是否以及为什么与目标受众的倾向一致，而不是系统地分析如何它们由更广泛的人群解释。本文基于对法国 118 家新闻媒体报道的计算文本分析以及对同一时期人们从新闻中保留的内容的每周调查，研究了媒体使用的框架如何触发不同类型的共鸣。随着人们对他们所接触的信息的不同解释和利用。我们从理论上认为，共鸣不仅是信息与个人倾向之间的客观一致，而且是对所听到信息的主观解释和利用。我们凭经验确定了三种不同类型的主观共鸣：解决问题、加重问题和产生问题。
