Abstract:

Although the intersection of social media usage and journalism practice enjoys a prominent place in many scholarly inquiries throughout the field of journalism studies, a comprehensive understanding of this body of literature is lacking. This study attempts to alleviate this problem. Through a systematic analysis of more than 150 studies primarily focusing on how journalists utilize social media in newswork, this article first classifies social media usage into three broad categories: news construction, news dissemination, and branding. Next, this study introduces a typology that visualizes and explores three dimensions of social media use: motivation (self vs. organization), prevalence (sporadic vs. prevalent), and disruption (disruptive vs. normalization). Our findings illustrate potential future research areas.

摘要：

尽管社交媒体使用与新闻实践的交集在整个新闻研究领域的许多学术研究中占有突出地位，但缺乏对这一文献体系的全面理解。本研究试图缓解这一问题。通过对 150 多项主要关注记者如何在新闻工作中使用社交媒体的研究进行系统分析，本文首先将社交媒体的使用分为三大类：新闻构建、新闻传播和品牌塑造。接下来，本研究介绍了一种可视化和探索社交媒体使用三个维度的类型学：动机（自我与组织）、普遍性（零星与普遍）和破坏（破坏性与正常化）。我们的发现说明了潜在的未来研究领域。
