从“核查什么”到“谁来核查”:事实核查的边界协商及其规范性愿景Fact-Checking: What to check, and who is to check? On the Boundary and Normative Ideal of Fact-Checking
闫文捷,刘于思,周睿鸣
摘要(Abstract):
近年来,事实核查这一新型新闻样式正得到新闻从业者社群内外的共同青睐。从“核查什么”到“谁来核查”,事实核查的行动者日益多元。本文由此指出事实核查当前面临的边界协商,并认为其核心问题是数字化新闻变迁中的元新闻话语重塑。参与式事实核查的规范性愿景在于确立新闻活动的认知权威,使核查发掘的事实性信息和抵近的真相构成公众共同的社会知识,奠定开展公共讨论、塑造共识、影响公共政策的基础。
关键词(KeyWords): 参与式事实核查;边界协商;元新闻话语;认知权威
