1950年美国媒体对马克南入藏事件的报道剖析

20世纪40年代,以美国国务院驻中国迪化领事馆副领事身份为掩护的中情局间谍马克南在中国新疆从事秘密谍报活动,并于新中国成立前夕率一行五人队伍自中国新疆秘密入藏。但《纽约时报》等美国媒体却矢口否认马克南的间谍身份,并指责"中国的宣传机器在制造美国特务案例"。美国媒体对马克南入藏事件的报道是历史真实与谎言的混合体,其报道内容的缺失,直接影响了美国民众对事实真相的全面了解和客观判断,对今日美国人"西藏观"的形成产生了消极的影响。

Analysis of U.S.Media Reports on Mackiernan Incident of Entering Tibet in 1950

In the 1940s,with the identity of U.S.State Department’s vice-consul in Dihua Consulate,CIA spy Mackiernan engaged in espionage activities in China’s Xinjiang and secretly went into Tibet from Xinjiang with five members’ team before the eve of the founding of New China.The New York Times and other U.S.traditional mainstream media denied Mackiernan’ spy identity and accused "China’s propaganda machine created the case of U.S.spy".The traditional U.S.mainstream media coverage about Mackiernan’s entering Tibet was a mixture of historical truths and lies.Lacking of the coverage contents directly influenced U.S.people’s comprehensive understandings and objective judgments to the truth and had a negative impact on forming today’s American "Tibetan view".
