这项研究探讨了一个在线平台的潜力，该平台鼓励记者发布新闻报道背后的文件，以帮助恢复公众对新闻媒体日益恶化的信任。根据对DocumentCloud上发布的200条新闻和315份随附文件的内容分析，结果表明，与记者传统上不愿依赖文件的情况相反，该平台成功地促进了主流和非主流记者对文件的大量使用。调查结果表明，文件主要用于支持事实主张（96%的项目），并提高新闻过程的透明度，使受众能够直接获得原材料，并提高独立评估信息的能力。然而，没有明显迹象表明记者核实了该文件的内容。这篇文章认为，DocumentCloud是一个独特的例子，表明一种技术可能会成功，而以前承诺作为新闻参考系统的超链接技术已经失败。如果DocumentCloud实验在更大范围内实施，它可能会产生严重的理论和实践影响，本文将对此进行讨论。
This study explores the potential of an online platform that encourages journalists to post the documents behind their news stories to help restore the deteriorating public trust in news media. Based on content analysis of 200 news items and 315 accompanying documents posted on DocumentCloud, findings indicate that contrary to journalists’ traditional reluctance to rely on documents, the platform succeeds in boosting massive use of documents, both by mainstream and alternative journalists. Findings show that documents serve mainly to support factual claims (in 96 percent of items) and enhance the transparency of news processes, allowing audiences’ unmediated access to raw materials, and greater capacity to evaluate information independently. However, there are no apparent signs that journalists verified the content of the document. The article suggests that DocumentCloud is a unique example of a technology that may succeed where the former technology that promised to serve as a journalistic reference system, hyperlinks, had failed. If the DocumentCloud experiment is implemented on a wider scale, it might have serious theoretical and practical implications, which are discussed here.
