论文摘要
Covid-19的大流行不仅具有严重的政治，经济和社会影响，而且还以前所未有的方式影响了媒体和通信系统。尽管传统的新闻媒体试图适应迅速发展的状况，但互联网上的替代新闻媒体使事件使自己的意识形态旋转。这种声音因促进社会困惑并通过社交媒体和其他在线渠道传播潜在的危险“假新闻”或阴谋论而受到批评。当前的研究在Corona早期危机期间对替代新闻媒体在Facebook上的最初计算内容分析中分析了此类恐惧的事实基础，这是基于2020年1月至2020年3月下半年的大型德国数据集。使用计算内容分析，方法，覆盖率，互动，互动，互动，参与者以及消息的主题以及信息的使用以及制造新闻的用途，以及效力的新闻和友善的方法。分析表明，替代新闻媒体忠于先前研究中确定的信息模式和意识形态基础。尽管他们没有散布明显的谎言，但他们主要分享过于批评，甚至是反系统的信息，反对主流新闻媒体和政治机构的观点。凭借这种大流行的民粹主义，它们助长了矛盾，威胁和不信任的世界观，如本分析中所描绘的那样。
The COVID-19 pandemic has not only had severe political, economic, and societal effects, it has also affected media and communication systems in unprecedented ways. While traditional journalistic media has tried to adapt to the rapidly evolving situation, alternative news media on the Internet have given the events their own ideological spin. Such voices have been criticized for furthering societal confusion and spreading potentially dangerous "fake news" or conspiracy theories via social media and other online channels. The current study analyzes the factual basis of such fears in an initial computational content analysis of alternative news media's output on Facebook during the early Corona crisis, based on a large German data set from January to the second half of March 2020. Using computational content analysis, methods, reach, interactions, actors, and topics of the messages were examined, as well as the use of fabricated news and conspiracy theories. The analysis revealed that the alternative news media stay true to message patterns and ideological foundations identified in prior research. While they do not spread obvious lies, they are predominantly sharing overly critical, even anti-systemic messages, opposing the view of the mainstream news media and the political establishment. With this pandemic populism, they contribute to a contradictory, menacing, and distrusting worldview, as portrayed in detail in this analysis.
