用大模型分析中东战争报道，发现媒体偏重战争叙事且存在地域偏见
Beyond the Battlefield: Framing Analysis of Media Coverage in Conflict Reporting
- 结合语义分析与大模型识别新闻中的战争/和平叙事框架
- 发现美国、英国和中东媒体对冲突双方角色定位差异显著
- 揭示主流媒体在战争报道中普遍存在偏向性叙事倾向
新闻媒体在冲突报道中使用的框架会显著影响读者认知，甚至可能加剧冲突。现有研究受限于定性分析或仅关注表层通用框架，缺乏深度。本文基于以色列-巴勒斯坦战争的新闻语料库，识别出冲突研究中提出的战争新闻与和平新闻指标。采用计算方法，结合框架语义与大语言模型，分析传播框架与其语言表达之间的关联。结果显示，报道更侧重战争导向而非和平导向；同时，美国、英国和中东媒体在界定冲突中攻击者与受害者时存在显著差异，暴露了媒体内部的偏见。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Framing used by news media, especially in times of conflict, can have substantial impact on readers' opinion, potentially aggravating the conflict itself. Current studies on the topic of conflict framing have limited insights due to their qualitative nature or only look at surface level generic frames without going deeper. In this work, we identify indicators of war and peace journalism, as outlined by prior work in conflict studies, in a corpus of news articles reporting on the Israel-Palestine war. For our analysis, we use computational approaches, using a combination of frame semantics and large language models to identify both communicative framing and its connection to linguistic framing. Our analysis reveals a higher focus on war based reporting rather than peace based. We also show substantial differences in reporting across the US, UK, and Middle Eastern news outlets in framing who the assailant and victims of the conflict are, surfacing biases within the media.
