新闻报道中“南水北调精神”建构的实证分析

An Empirical Analysis of Constructing the Spirit of South-to-North Water Diversion in News Coverage

基于话语分析理论,对2000—2023年间的472篇关于南水北调的新闻报道,以及2009年以来的42篇相关学术论文进行分析。结果显示,新闻报道是南水北调工程实践和精神观念之间的桥梁中介,建构出了15种南水北调精神的基本内涵,各内涵之间存在复杂的内在联系和亲缘关系;新闻报道着重强调了南水北调精神的三个特色,即生态优先的价值追求、统筹协调的行动原则和牺牲奉献的爱国情怀。进一步地比较分析发现,新闻界与学术界对南水北调精神基本内涵的偏好与侧重并不一致。新闻界强调“生态优先”和“统筹协调”的观念;学术界则强调“牺牲奉献”和“开拓创新”的精神。新闻界与学术界有必要统一共识,在弘扬传播南水北调精神上形成协同效应。

Based on the discourse analysis methodology,472 news coverage items about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project between 2000 and 2023,as well as 42 related academic articles published since 2009,were analyzed.The results indicate that news coverage mediated between the practice and the spirit of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.Fifteen elementary connotations with complex interconnections and affinities in news coverage were identified.News coverage highlighted three characteristics of the South-to-North Water Diversion Spirit:the pursuit of ecological priority,the principle of coordination,and the patriotism of sacrifice and dedication.Further comparative analysis suggests that the preferences regarding the connotations of the Spirit of the South-to-North Water Diversion were not consistent between journalists and the academic community.Journalists emphasized the conception of ecological priority and coordination,while academics focused on the spirit of sacrifice and dedication,as well as innovation.It is necessary for journalists and the academic community to reach a consensus and create a coordinated approach to the dissemination of the spirit of South-to-North Water Diversion.
