大流行病带来了新的困难挑战。与流行病传播相关的风险在西方媒体中引起了强烈的猜测。本文以2014-2015年埃博拉疫情为例，批判性地分析了美国、欧洲和英国的传染风险是如何在英国媒体和政策话语中被构建的。利用媒体框架在形成特定问题定义、因果解释和治疗建议方面的重要性，文章批判性地评估了英国报纸对埃博拉的框架的影响，质疑基于遏制和边境筛查的英国国内政治反应的理由。这篇文章还采取了一个比较的角度，与以前的大流行的结构接触。这篇文章强调了对这些框架进行社会学分析的重要性，批判性地反思了媒体传播在再现某些话题方面的作用，这些话题缩小了围绕大流行病紧急情况最佳应对措施进行公开辩论的范围。
Pandemics pose new and difficult challenges. Risks associated with the spread of pandemics generate intense speculation in Western media. Taking the 2014–2015 Ebola outbreak as a case study, the article critically analyses how the risk of contagion in the US, Europe, and the UK has been constructed in UK media and policy discourse. Drawing on the importance of media framing in shaping a given problem definition, causal interpretation and treatment recommendation, the article critically assesses the impacts of the British newspaper framing of Ebola, questioning the rationale of a UK domestic political response based on containment and border screenings. The article also takes a comparative angle, engaging with constructions of previous pandemics. Underscoring the importance of a sociological analysis of these framings, the article critically reflects on the role of media communication in reproducing certain topoi, which reduce the scope for open public debate around best responses to a pandemic emergency.
