文章依据传媒系统依赖性理论以及社会认同理论对华裔移民的社会定位及其对华裔报纸的依赖性二者的关系进行了考察。所涉数据来源于对265位现定居于澳大利亚的中国人的调查。结果显示,在社会定位的三个指标中,年龄成为依赖族裔报纸获取信息的一个确定标准。在调查参与者中,在祖国居住越久的人更倾向于阅读本国语言文字的报纸。而被调查者教育程度的高低并不是对族裔报纸具有依赖性的重要标准。这些发现揭示出在这个由新技术提供多样化信息来源的时代,我们应该对印刷媒体的任务进行更深调查。
The article examines the relationship between Chinese immigrants’ social orientation and their dependence on Chinese newspapers according to the media system dependence theory and social identity theory. The data is based on a survey of 265 Chinese now living in Australia. The results show that among the three indicators of social orientation, age becomes a certain criterion for relying on ethnic newspapers for information. Among the survey participants, those who lived longer in their homeland tended to read newspapers in their native languages. The level of education of respondents is not an important standard of dependence on ethnic newspapers. These findings reveal that in this era of diversified sources of information provided by new technologies, we should conduct a deeper investigation of the print media’s mandate.
