《纽约时报》关于中国报道中的女性形象

Images of Chinese Women in the New York Times

研究国外媒体关于中国女性形象的报道十分必要。运用量化与质性研究相结合的方法,对《纽约时报》关于中国女性的报道进行了内容和文本分析。研究发现其报道具有倾向性:关于中国女性报道的数量相对较少,特别是对农村女性的报道更是少之又少;报道议题更多集中在婚姻、家庭、生活方面;女性角色的定位多是消极、被动、令人同情的。文本分析也表明该报的女性报道存在着美国固有的意识形态和性别刻板印象。

It＇s indispensable to conduct the research on the images of Chinese women on foreign media. Using the quantitative and qualitative methodologies, this paper analyzes the content and discourse of the New York Times＇ report about Chinese women, exposing the tendency in its reporting. The tendency include： there are rather less reports about Chinese women in the New York Times, there are much less reports about rural women in China; the report agenda focuses on marriage, family and women＇ s life and most of the roles of women are negative, passive or pathetical. The discourse analysis of the coverage of Chinese women indicates that there are fixed American ideologies and gender stereotype in the reports.
