Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, Miami University, Mass Communication.
This thesis applies an empirical approach to study the use of news frames using the issue of 2008 Tibet riots on BBC and CNN online news as a case study. 72 news articles were coded to detect the type of news frames in the Tibet uprising news coverage and to compare the framing schemes employed by the two networks. The results suggested that while CNN and BBC framed the Tibet crisis in different ways, there were many more similarities. The data showed that both news outlets held a bias against the Chinese government and often utilized multiple frames in one news article. Moreover, the examination of the use of the anti-communism frame revealed that both media attempted to foster anti-communism emotions in their readers.
