چکیده

در مقاله حاضر چهارچوبی نظری به نام اصل «سیاست-رسانه-سیاست» تشریح می‌شود. هدف این اصل، فراهم آوردن بنیادی مفهومی است که بر اساس آن، روشی جامع برای شرح نقش رسانه‌های خبری در فرآیندهای سیاسی دولت‌ها ایجاد شود. اصل سیاست-رسانه-سیاست بر اساس دو ادعای محوری بنا شده است. نخست اینکه، به خوبی می‌توان نقش رسانه‌ها را در فرآیندهای سیاسی، به‌صورت چرخه‌ای درک کرد که در آن، نوسانات در محیط سیاسی یک دولت به نوسانات در جریان رسانه‌ای منجر شده و این امر متعاقباً موجب نوسانات بیشتر در محیط سیاسی می‌شود. دوم، رسانه‌ها با توجه به توانایی‌شان برای تبدیل واقعیت‌های سیاسی به روایت‌های خبری (که برخی مواقع تأثیر به سزایی بر روی نتایج سیاسی دارند) می‌توانند نقشی مستقل در پروسه‌های سیاسی داشته باشند. این بحث به سه بخش عمده تقسیم می‌شود. در بخش نخست، برخی از نظریه‌های مهم ارتباطات سیاسی بررسی شده که درواقع اصول مبنایی اصل سیاست-رسانه-سیاست هستند. در بخش دوم، از یافته‌های محدوده متنوعی از مطالعات استفاده شده تا سودمندی این اصل را تشرح شود. در نهایت در بخش سوم این مقاله برخی استثنائات این اصل بیان شده است

The Politics-Media-Politics Principle: Towards A More Comprehensive Approach To Political Communication

چکیده [English]

This paper develops a theoretical framework labeled the Politics-Media-Politics (PMP) principle. The aim of this principle is to provide a conceptual foundation upon which to create a more comprehensive approach to explaining the role of the news media in political processes. The PMP principle is based on two central claims. First, the role of the media in political processes can best be understood as a cycle in which variations in the political environment lead to variations in media conduct that, in turn, lead to further variations in the political environment. Second, the media can play an independent role in political processes due to their ability to transform political realities into news stories that can at times have a significant impact on political outcomes. The discussion is divided into three main sections. The first section reviews some of the major theories in political communication that serve as building blocks for the PMP principle. The second section uses findings from a diverse range of studies to demonstrate the PMP principle’s usefulness. The third part of the paper presents some revealing exceptions to the PMP principle
