本文对快速变化的媒体环境下的新闻回避进行了比较研究。我们利用了在阿根廷、芬兰、以色列、日本和美国对媒体消费者进行的488次深度采访的大型数据集的调查结果。我们的目标是通过全面而细致入微地理解新闻回避的驱动因素、做法和模式，为新闻回避的研究做出贡献，因为它们发生在不同的国家背景下，并受到不同国家背景的影响。我们认为，新闻回避不仅受到个体特征的影响，而且还表现为特定的时间框架和社会文化因素的一部分。我们区分了有意回避新闻的两个驱动因素：认知和情感。不同的国家层面的语境因素突出了认知驱动因素，而不同的国家背景下，新闻回避的情感驱动因素是相同的。
This article comparatively examines news avoidance in a rapidly changing media environment. We utilize findings from a large dataset of 488 in-depth interviews with media consumers, conducted in Argentina, Finland, Israel, Japan, and the US. We aim to make a contribution to the study of news avoidance by providing a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the drivers, practices, and patterns of news avoidance as they occur in and are shaped by a variety of national contexts. We argue that news avoidance is shaped not only by individual characteristics, but is also manifested and performed as part of specific time frames and socio-cultural factors. We distinguish two drivers of intentional news avoidance: cognitive and emotional. The cognitive drivers are accentuated by distinct country-level contextual factors, whereas the emotional drivers for news avoidance are shared across diverse national contexts.
