互联网带来了新闻媒体和受众的新型互动关系。本研究通过对我国报纸和博客关于日本311大地震报道的内容分析发现，为了拉近国内受众和国际事件的距离，新闻媒体会对国际新闻事件进行“媒介驯化”；而借助互联网从境内和境外媒体那里获取充足信息的网民，亦会因不满足于新闻媒体的“媒介驯化”，从而自发地对国际新闻进行“公民驯化”。“媒介驯化”和“公民驯化”在消息来源、报道主题、新闻主角和报道立场上具有显著的差异性。本研究认为，面对国际新闻事件，“媒介驯化”和“公民驯化”相互竞争又互为补充，共同促进了互联网时代信息的透明性和观点的多元性。

The Internet has brought a new interactive relationship between news media and their audiences. By comparing and contrasting the content of Chinese newspapers and blogs regarding 2011 Japanese earthquake, it demonstrates while national media domesticate the foreign event based upon their existing needs, norms and standards, domestic audiences who are equipped with sufficient information from national and cross-national media domesticate it according to their own concerns. Media-domestication and citizen-domestication have significant differences in terms of news sources, report themes, news actors and report standpoint. The results indicate media-domestication and citizen-domestication compete and complement each other, jointly fosters a continuing trend toward greater transparency and diversity in the Internet Age.
