煽情的辩证法:从进步时代解读美国新闻业的话语策略

Dialectics of the Sensationalism:Interpret the Discourse Strategy of the American Journalism from the Progressive Era

煽情主义是美国新闻业重要的话语策略,其产生有必然的社会基础。作为商业媒介和舆论生产工具,大众化的新闻业为了维护自身合法性,必须以作为自律机制的新闻专业主义对煽情主义进行制约,却不能完全将其取代。与此同时,煽情主义也由一种实用主义的叙事策略,转化为对客观性理念的妥协。

The Sensationalism,which occurred in a certain social foundation,is an important discourse strategy of the American journalism.As an industry and tool of public opinion,the American journalism had to restrict the sensationalism with the journalistic professionalism as a selfdiscipline mechanism in order to maintain its legitimacy. But the journalistic professionalism cannot offset the sensationalism.Thus,the sensationalism transformed from a pragmatic narrative strategy into the compromise mechanism for the concept of objectivity.
