论文摘要
我们调查了叙利亚难民（2011-2021）在美国党派新闻媒体中的不同之处。我们分析了美国在线媒体上有关叙利亚难民的47,388篇文章，以详细介绍左派和右倾媒体之间的报告差异。我们使用各种NLP技术来理解这些差异。我们的两极分化和问答结果表明，左倾的媒体倾向于代表难民作为儿童受害者，在美国的欢迎以及右倾的媒体铸造难民作为伊斯兰恐怖分子。随着时间的流逝，我们的情感和进攻性演讲得分也指出了类似的结果，这可能会在右倾媒体中详细说明难民的表现。我们工作的优势是我们应用的不同技术如何相互验证。根据我们的结果，我们提供了一些建议。利益相关者可以利用我们的发现来介绍难民代表，并设计沟通运动，以改善社会看到难民的方式，并可能帮助难民成果。
We investigate how representations of Syrian refugees (2011-2021) differ across US partisan news outlets. We analyze 47,388 articles from the online US media about Syrian refugees to detail differences in reporting between left- and right-leaning media. We use various NLP techniques to understand these differences. Our polarization and question answering results indicated that left-leaning media tended to represent refugees as child victims, welcome in the US, and right-leaning media cast refugees as Islamic terrorists. We noted similar results with our sentiment and offensive speech scores over time, which detail possibly unfavorable representations of refugees in right-leaning media. A strength of our work is how the different techniques we have applied validate each other. Based on our results, we provide several recommendations. Stakeholders may utilize our findings to intervene around refugee representations, and design communications campaigns that improve the way society sees refugees and possibly aid refugee outcomes.
