传统新闻实践中记者需要“身体在场”进行新闻报道，但随着新传播技术的发展，“记者在现场”作为首要信息来源的新闻传统正在发生变化。本文以21世纪三次重大国际冲突为例，考察了互联网技术发展背景下新闻来源的结构变化和新闻生产的模式转变。研究指出社交开源情报（SOCMINT）正加速成为机构媒体的重要信源，并进一步分析了社交开源情报在信息生产、事实核查、信息扩散三个层面的特征和机制。最后，探讨了机构媒体在SOCMINT时代的角色转变，同时也提出了机构媒体在利用社交开源情报发挥功能、承担责任方面的一些新思考。

In traditional journalism, reporters need to be “physically present” to cover news stories. However, with the development of new communication technologies, the tradition of “reporters on the scene” as the primary source of information is changing. This paper examines the structural changes in news sources and the transformation of news production models in the context of internet technology development, using three major international conflicts in the 21st century as examples. The study identifies Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) as an increasingly significant source for institutional media. It further analyzes the characteristics and mechanisms of SOCMINT in three aspects: information production, fact-checking, and information dissemination. Finally, the paper explores the evolving role of institutional media in the SOCMINT era and offers new perspectives on how institutional media can function and fulfill their responsibilities through SOCMINT.
