Journalism Models in Western Democracies and the International Arena: The Case of the 2016 Failed Coup Attempt in Turkey

This paper explores the complex relationship between media and political systems in the context of the International News Flow, regarding the interdisciplinary research area between media study and International Relations. The focus is on International News Flow interactions and effects upon democratic political systems. The aim is to fill the gap concerning international relations in comparative media analysis literature. Despite using Hallin and Mancini's framework (2004, 2012), the present research does not only apply their typology to test its validity, but it also applies the main International Relations theoretical frameworks that deepen the relationship between media and political systems to shed light on the degree of superimposition between structure-based and content-based frameworks of media systems. The case study is the 2016 failed military coup in Turkey. In particular, in terms of coverage and analysis, the study considers how the newspapers of four countries (Italy, France, Germany and England), which represent the three democracy models of Hallini and Mancini – Mediterranean, Liberal, Corporative plus one that cuts across different models – framed the failed coup attempt in the days following the beginning of the crisis.

本研究聚焦新闻学与国际关系学的交叉研究领域，于国际新闻流动（International News Flow）的语境下，探讨媒体与政治体系间的复杂关联。本研究的核心关注对象为国际新闻流动的互动模式及其对民主政治体系的影响，旨在填补比较媒体分析文献中有关国际关系维度的研究空白。尽管本研究采用了哈林-曼西尼框架（Hallin and Mancini's framework，2004、2012），但本研究不仅通过其类型学验证该框架的有效性，还引入了深化媒体与政治体系关联研究的主流国际关系理论框架，以阐明媒体体系的结构导向框架与内容导向框架间的重叠程度。本研究的案例为2016年土耳其未遂军事政变。具体而言，在报道与分析层面，本研究考察了代表哈林-曼西尼三大民主模式——地中海模式、自由主义模式、法团主义模式，外加一个跨模式的第四类——的四个国家（意大利、法国、德国、英格兰）的报纸，在危机爆发后的数日内如何对此次未遂政变事件进行框架建构。
