首次构建新闻与评论框架分析框架,揭示公众如何重构媒体信息。
Retain or Reframe? A Computational Framework for the Analysis of Framing in News Articles and Reader Comments
- 从句子级预测重建新闻与评论中的主导框架
- 发现评论中框架复用率高,跨媒体一致性显著
- 适合关注媒介影响、舆论演化或计算社会学的研究者
当新闻将移民描述为‘经济负担’或‘人道危机’时,其选择性强调了问题的特定方面。虽然‘框架’塑造了公众对议题的理解,但受众并非被动接收,而是主动重构信息。尽管社会科学研究已证实这一源内容与受众反应的互动关系,现有NLP方法通常孤立分析新闻文章和读者评论。本文提出首个面向大规模新闻文章与读者评论的框架分析计算框架。方法上,我们优化了框架标签体系,构建了从句子级预测重建文章与评论中主导框架的流程,并实现文章与主题相关评论的对齐。在十一类话题、两家新闻媒体上的应用表明,评论中框架复用具有高度相关性,而具体模式随话题变化。我们公开发布了一个在文章和评论上均表现良好的框架分类器,一个手动标注框架的句子级数据集,以及一个包含预测框架标签的大规模文章-评论数据集。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
When a news article describes immigration as an "economic burden" or a "humanitarian crisis," it selectively emphasizes certain aspects of the issue. Although \textit{framing} shapes how the public interprets such issues, audiences do not absorb frames passively but actively reorganize the presented information. While this relationship between source content and audience response is well-documented in the social sciences, NLP approaches often ignore it, detecting frames in articles and responses in isolation. We present the first computational framework for large-scale analysis of framing across source content (news articles) and audience responses (reader comments). Methodologically, we refine frame labels and develop a framework that reconstructs dominant frames in articles and comments from sentence-level predictions, and aligns articles with topically relevant comments. Applying our framework across eleven topics and two news outlets, we find that frame reuse in comments correlates highly across outlets, while topic-specific patterns vary. We release a frame classifier that performs well on both articles and comments, a dataset of article and comment sentences manually labeled for frames, and a large-scale dataset of articles and comments with predicted frame labels.
