In this article, we suggest that the ideological cultural forces explain the differences in journalism practices in Western and Muslim majority countries (MMC). It is argued that the norms, values, and the deep political culture of the West and MMC have been materialized leading to different types of journalism practices. The statistical analysis of 11,246 interviews from twenty four Western and MMC conducted as part of the second wave of Worlds of Journalism Study demonstrates that journalists’ perception of influences, editorial autonomy, and journalistic roles reflect clear varied patterns, which resemble the overall cultural lines that shape their journalistic ideology. This article, we argue, has extended the hierarchical model of influences to embrace the wider regional cultural lines that avoid the trap of national media systems—centrism. Furthermore, it refutes the dominance of a global Western monoculture and, in turn, a singular global journalism practice.

西方和穆斯林占多数的国家的新闻实践：文化很重要


在本文中，我们建议意识形态文化力量解释西方和穆斯林多数国家（MMC）新闻实践的差异。有人认为，西方和MMC的规范、价值观和深厚的政治文化已经具体化，导致了不同类型的新闻实践。作为第二波新闻世界研究的一部分，对来自 24 个西方国家和 MMC 的 11,246 次采访进行的统计分析表明，记者对影响力、编辑自主权和新闻角色的看法反映了明显不同的模式，这类似于新闻界的总体文化路线。塑造他们的新闻意识形态。我们认为，本文扩展了影响力的等级模型，以涵盖更广泛的区域文化界限，从而避免国家媒体系统的中心主义陷阱。此外，它驳斥了全球西方单一文化的主导地位，进而驳斥了单一的全球新闻实践。
