Reporting the Ebola Outbreak: a CASE Study of Radio Mankneh in Makeni City Northern Sierra Leone

摘要

塞拉利昂是第一个在西非建立广播电台的国家，而电台有助于健康理念的传播。在塞拉利昂埃博拉病毒存续期间，社区广播电台和国际广播电台一直进行积极报道，这对于疾病的根除起到了重要的积极作用。该论文运用议程设置的理论框架，对于广播新闻（从2014年3月到2015年11月）在报道埃博拉病毒疫情中的作用进行研究。在埃博拉疫情报道中，重点研究广播电台记者、编辑以及受众如何实现表达自由，广播电台如何进行信息采集、制作和播发新闻，旨在评估关于马可尼市埃博拉疫情报道中广播媒体角色的公共认知。该论文运用了问卷调查法和访谈法。研究发现，在塞拉利昂，城市和农村社区广播的存在对于新闻业的发展至关重要；电台广播在消除埃博拉疫情中发挥了重要的作用；通过埃博拉疫情报道的实践，广播电台的新闻生产者的业务能力不断增强；广播电台的发展还存在很多困难和挑战等。
