冬季运动目的地因其COVID-19超级传播者的地位而受到全球媒体越来越多的关注。本文使用批评性媒体话语分析（N = 1036）的情况下，奥地利伊施格尔1）确定特定危机的媒体话语模式，2）分析嵌入的话语在流行的公共辩论和3）讨论媒体报道的责任。我们的研究结果揭示了替罪羊的模式，目的地形象加强，但后来取代了关于阿尔卑斯冬季运动的可持续性的基本讨论。随着危机持续时间的延长，伊施格尔成为应对Covid-19失败的元象征，媒体报道越来越脱离当地情况，引发了地缘政治指责游戏，并强调媒体对危机后旅游业的责任。(c)2021年，任作者。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。这是一篇在CC BY-NC-ND许可证下的开放获取文章（http：//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/）。
Winter sport destinations received increased attention from worldwide media due to their Covid-19 superspreader status. Using a critical media discourse analysis (N = 1036) for the case of Ischgl, Austria this paper 1) identifies crisis-specific media discourse patterns, 2) analyzes the embedding of discourses in prevailing public debates and 3) discusses the responsibility of media coverage. Our findings reveal scapegoating patterns reinforced by destination image but later replaced by fundamental discussions about the sustainability of Alpine winter sports. As the crisis lasted longer, Ischgl became a meta-symbol for failures in dealing with Covid-19, with media coverage increasingly detached from the local situation, initiating a geopolitical blame game and highlighting media's responsibility for post-crisis tourism.
