记者角色认知在一般语境中得到了广泛的研究，但很少有人知道角色-或角色优先级-如何在不同语境和职业特征中发生变化。本研究的目的是了解记者在健康危机报道中不断变化的角色认知，并探讨普通记者和专业记者之间的潜在差异。我们在德国和芬兰对有卫生危机报道经验的记者进行了22次深度采访。调查结果表明，记者的角色转变时，涵盖健康危机（与非危机），对公众动员的作用，对风险分类，从监督到更合作的作用。此外，专业特点对记者理解和履行其职责至关重要。专业记者似乎更有能力应对卫生危机报道的挑战，例如在保持批评与与当局合作遏制危机的努力之间保持平衡。与普通记者相比，专业记者也不太可能受到通常伴随健康危机的恐慌的影响。
Journalistic role perceptions have been extensively studied in general contexts, but little is known as to how roles – or role prioritization – may shift across contexts, and professional characteristics. The aim of this study was gaining an understanding of journalists’ changing role perceptions in health crisis coverage, and moreover to examine potential differences between general and specialist reporters. We conducted 22 in-depth interviews with reporters with experience in health crisis reporting in Germany and Finland. Findings suggest that journalists’ roles shift when covering health crises (versus non-crises), towards a role as public mobilizers, towards classifying risks and from a watchdog to a more co-operative role. Furthermore, professional characteristics matter in journalists’ understanding and performance of their roles. Specialist reporters appear better equipped to deal with the challenges of health crisis coverage, such as balancing remaining critical with co-operation with authorities in their efforts to contain crises. Specialist reporters are also less likely to get swayed by the panic often accompanying health crises than general reporters are.
