大量且不断增长的文献表明，受众指标对世界各地的许多新闻编辑室产生着重大影响。学者们认为这可能会影响新闻质量，但关于受众指标如何影响新闻质量和媒体表现的研究结果却分散。基于一套广泛使用的新闻质量标准，本文是第一篇关注这个问题的文章。它通过考虑受众指标在四个分析维度的影响来回顾和讨论现有的发现：A）资源分配和认可； B) 新闻制作的数量、做法和节奏； c) 选题和布置； D) 新闻报道的格式和风格。分析表明，记者对受众指标的使用主要对新闻质量产生负面影响。这种效应是新闻编辑室日益增长的经济压力和将受众规模的衡量标准与受众兴趣和良好新闻工作等同起来的主流言论的结果。
A large and growing body of literature shows that audience metrics exert a significant influence in many newsrooms around the world. Scholars assume that this might affect the quality of news, but findings on how audience metrics influence news quality and media performance are scattered. Based on a widely used set of news quality criteria, this article is the first to focus on this question. It reviews and discusses the existing findings by considering the influence of audience metrics across four analytical dimensions: A) the allocation of resources and recognition; B) the volume, practices and rhythms of news production; C) the selection and placement of topics; and D) the formats and styles of news presentation. The analysis reveals that journalists’ use of audience metrics has a mainly negative impact on news quality. This effect is the result of both the growing economic pressures on newsrooms and a dominant rhetoric that equates measures of audience size with audience interests and good journalistic work.
