Actors, Translations and Networks: Xinhua News Agency's News Production for the Tokyo Olympics and Its International Cooperation

新华社首次以国际奥委会认可的国际通讯社和国际奥林匹克摄影队身份参与东京奥运会,并取得了瞩目成绩。文章以行动者网络理论为框架,采用社会网络分析和扎根理论,分析新华社奥运新闻生产内外部网络行动者及结构、环节、影响因素和流程。研究发现,该网络以记者和编辑为核心,并形成多圈层结构;网络中的行动者采用了生态性竞合转译策略。这一发现拓宽了行动者网络理论在新闻学研究中的视角,启发大型体育赛事报道重视情感因素对行动者的激励作用,以及合规守约、开展与国际组织交往在国际媒体合作中的重要性。
