地球仪各国政府已开始开发和部署数字接触者追踪应用程序，以控制新型冠状病毒（Covid-19）的传播。这些技术作为遏制措施的适当性和实用性此后在全球引发了政治和学术讨论。本文件通过探讨德国、奥地利和瑞士的全国性日报如何报道封锁初期和之后数字联系人追踪应用程序的开发和采用，为这一辩论做出了贡献。这些国家是欧洲最早开发应用程序的国家之一，也是分散与集中数据处理辩论中的关键声音。我们对德国、奥地利和瑞士的高发行量全国性日报在2020年1月至5月期间发表的新闻报道进行了主题分析。最终分析包括了来自9家报纸公司的148篇文章。从我们的分析中，出现了数字接触追踪应用程序的开发和采用的六个核心主题：1）数据治理; 2）IT巨头的作用; 3）科学严谨性; 4）非自愿性; 5）功能功效; 6）应用程序的作用。这些结果揭示了德语媒体所描绘的数字接触追踪讨论的不同方面。这项研究通过更好地了解媒体生态系统中传播的想法，补充了有关公众对数字接触追踪应用程序的看法的新兴调查数据。
Governments around the globe have started to develop and deploy digital contact tracing apps to gain control over the spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19). The appropriateness and usefulness of these technologies as a containment measure have since sparked political and academic discussions globally. The present paper contributes to this debate through an exploration of how the national daily newspapers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland reported on the development and adoption of digital contact-tracing apps during early and after stages of the lockdown. These countries were among the first in Europe to develop apps and were critical voices in the debate of decentralized vs. centralized data processing. We conducted thematic analysis on news coverage published between January and May 2020 in high-circulation national daily newspapers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. A total of 148 articles from nine newspaper companies were included in the final analysis. From our analysis emerged six core themes of the development and adoption of digital contact tracing apps: 1) data governance; 2) role of IT giants; 3) scientific rigor; 4) voluntariness; 5) functional efficacy; 6) role of the app. These results shed light on the different facets of discussion regarding digital contact tracing as portrayed in German-speaking media. This study complements emerging survey data on public perceptions of digital contact tracing apps by providing a better understanding of the ideas circulating in the media ecosystem.
