Image of Depressed Patient Under Foucault's Theory of Power——Example of website's coverage of depression

网络作为现代重要的新闻媒介,能否客观地呈现抑郁症患者的形象,影响着公众对于抑郁症的认知。用福柯的权力理论分析了新浪网、凤凰网这两个新闻网站在建构抑郁症相关议题时所呈现的价值倾向和新闻偏差,进而揭示抑郁症患者的他者形象产生的原因——网站受到权力干涉而回避报道抑郁症背后的社会因素,聚焦于公众人物而忽略普通患者的真实处境,最终将其演化为一种具有娱乐和猎奇意义的符号。

As the modern news media, whether network can objectively present the image of depressed patients or not affects public awareness of depression. By using Foucauh＇ s theory of power, the value tendency and news deviation of two websites （Sina and ifeng） on constructing depression related issues are presented. Further the reasons for depressed patients with the image of the other are revealed, websites are interfered with power thus avoiding reporting implied social factors behind depression and focusing on public figures at the same time igno- ring the real situation of ordinary patients. Eventually it evolved into a symbol of entertainment and adventure.
