在COVID-19的众多负面影响报道中，日本公众对“博士生减少了一半”的标题感到不安。然而，对这些信息的仔细检查显示，报告的下降可能是一个“错误警报”，基于一系列与未来学生的关键决策时刻有关的文章。关于博士课程的研究是有限的，部分原因是学位持有者的相对边缘化和日本对学位的认可度低。因此，本案例研究旨在阐明日本博士生所面临的特殊情况，以及如何通过数字媒体报道新闻。研究表明，数字新闻门户网站可能有助于信息的变形和传播，强调了验证数字信息的重要性，以便学生能够根据准确的情况和潜力做出明智的职业道路决定。
Amidst the numerous reported negative effects of COVID-19, the Japanese public was rattled by the headline ‘Doctoral Students Have Decreased by Half’. However, a closer examination of the information revealed that the reported drop may be a ‘false alarm’ based on a series of articles related to this critical decision-making moment for prospective students. Studies regarding doctoral programmes are limited due, in part, to the relative marginalization of degree holders and low recognition of degrees in Japan. Thus, this case study was conducted to clarify the particular situations faced by Japanese doctoral students and how news is reported through digital media. The research revealed that digital news portals may contribute to the deformation and diffusion of information, highlighting the importance of verifying digital information so that students can make informed career-path decisions based on accurate situations and potentials.
