普利策新闻奖特稿中的性别与女性形象传播——基于多元文化主义的视角

The Female Reported and Gender in Pultizer Prize Features——Based on the View of Multiculturalism

从多元文化主义的视角,以1979-2008年度普利策奖新闻特稿奖作品为个案,对普利策奖特稿长达30年的性别与女性形象传播进行了探讨和分析。研究发现:普利策奖新闻特稿奖作品中的女性新闻人物多为受犯罪伤害和病痛、贫困折磨的女性,以弱势群体、下层阶级为主,呈现出被侮辱和被损害的整体形象,选题多与生、老、病、死相关,悲剧居多。其中不乏闪光的女性形象,反映了弱势女性的抗争进取和美好心灵。女性所受的伤害多集中在男性暴力、种族压迫、经济穷困、暴力凶杀等方面,暴露了美国司法系统的一些重大缺陷和社会救助系统的不完善。普利策新闻奖特稿对女性和性别传播重视,尤其是对女性生存状态非常关注。这种关注与美国的多元文化主义思潮有极大的关联。

The female images in the Puttizer Prize features （1979-2008）are explored from the perspective of multiculturalism. The author points out that most female reported in the features are victims of crime, illness and poverty. They belong to the disprivileged group and low class. Most of the features focused on the tragedy of survival, aging, illness and death. The female suffered from male violence, race discrimination, poverty and homicide, which are caused by the problems existing in the judicial system and social aid system. The intense coverage of Pultizer Prize features on women＇s status is rooted in the multiculturalism.
