Med utgångspunkt i en kritisk debatt gällande medias bristfälliga bevakning av EU är syftet med studien är att ta reda på hur den Europeiska unionen skildrades i svensk nyhetspress under 2000-talets första decennium. För att studera EU-journalistik tillämpas en kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Med hjälp av ett kodschema registreras variabelvärden för artiklar från 20 slumpmässigt utvalda veckor mellan åren 2001–2010, i tidningarna Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet. För att förstå resultaten tas hjälp av ett teoretiskt ramverk med fokus på tidigare forskningsdiskurs samt resonemang kring en marknadsstyrd journalistik och nyhetsvärdering. Genom rubriker och artikelinnehåll identifieras även förekomsten av fördefinierade nyhetsramar i EU-journalistiken: ”Nationellt perspektiv” och ”EU-nyheter utan kontext”.  Totalt registrerades 923 artiklar från de tre tidningarna under given period. Rapporteringens omfattning skiljer sig tydligt mellan åren, 2001 års rapportering står för majoriteten av artikelmängden. Det finns vissa inslag av nyhetsramen ”nationellt perspektiv” i svensk medias EU-bevakning. Nyhetsramen ”EU-nyheter utan kontext” stämmer väl in på materialet. Den marknadsstyrda journalistiken fungerar som en tänkbar förklaring till den bristfälliga EU-bevakningen. Vad som bör eftersträvas i större utsträckning är uppföljning av ämnen som exponeras för media för att läsare på så sätt ska få mer kontinuitet och ökad förståelse för EU:s verksamhet. En framtida undersökning skulle kunna inkludera radio- och tevenyheter eller en undersökning av bevakningen under 1990-talet.

Donald Trump’s announcement on June 1st, 2017, to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement generated widespread news coverage. In this qualitative framing study, a selection of articles published on that topic in the German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the American New York Times are analyzed with respect to generic news frames, issue-specific frames, actor-statements, and images. The most frequently used news frames were economic consequences, conflict, and responsibility. The morality frame appeared only twice, whereas the human interest frame was not evident in the verbal text at all, but occurred in one image. Two issue-specific frames emerged, the setback frame, evident in the majority of articles, cast Trump’s decision as a momentous setback for the U.S. and the global fight against climate change. The contradictory no impact frame implied that the Paris Agreement has many problems as is, and the U.S. withdrawal will have no impact on the state of the climate. The images accompanying the articles were shown to support the verbal issue-specific framing of the articles, whereas no clear relation could be found connecting certain types of actor-statements with the presence of a certain frame.

一般而言，社會事件或議題往往交織著許多複雜的因素，人們可能由不同 的觀點詮釋這些事件或議題的成因、影響、或定義，但是新聞報導所做的 詮釋卻往往只強調某些特定的意義 ( Gamson & Madigliani, 1989; Tankard et al., 1990)，形成一種新聞框架 (news frame)。新聞框架對 事件或議題意義的詮釋，可能經由新聞報導的語言結構或形式結構上的選 擇與排除，產生不同的意義。但是不同的新聞框架是否使讀者對新聞事件 或議題產生不同的認知呢？本研究以不同背景結構的新聞報導，探討不同 形式結構的新聞框架是否影響讀者對事件的推論，因而產生不同的認知。 本研究採實驗法與小組焦點訪談並行的方法，探討有、無背景的新聞報導 ，及兩則相同結構不同背景內容的新聞報導，與實驗對象的推論之間的關 聯，推論的項目包含對事件的因果推論與歸類及對新聞報導與新聞人物的 評價。研究結果發現新聞報導的背景可能影響受訪者的歸因，其它的推論 可能較無關聯，以下分別就兩次研究的結果作一說明：第一個研究受訪者 分別讀有背景或無背景的南非抗議新聞，結果有背景組大都將事件的原因 歸於政府缺失，與背景訊息的方向大致相同；而無背景組沒有人歸因於此 ，幾乎都歸因於種族問題。第二個研究受訪者分別讀不同背景內容的空難 新聞，結果指出雖然背景沒有提出空難的原因，只提供過去人員疏失導致 空難的歷史或失事飛機機型的記錄，但是受訪者大都依循背景訊息的方向 ，分別歸因於人為疏失及飛機問題。兩次研究的結果似乎說明，新聞的背 景可能影響讀者對事件歸因的方向，即使受訪者推論的原因不盡相同，例 如歸因於人為疏失者可能歸於駕駛員的疏失或塔台人員的疏失，但是歸因 的方向與背景可能具有某些的關聯，而背景結構的差異可能使受訪者對事 件因果的認知不同。由於本研究屬初探性的研究，研究對象只有廿二人， 其目的在於提供後續研究一些啟示，因此無法逕以研究結果推論文本結構 對認知的影響，這部份仍有待未來研究以更周密的方法加以探討。

Thesis is focused on construction of threat in newcast. The purpose of the quantitative content analysis is the construction of threat in Czech printed news in case of Russian federation. Thesis is based on presumption that with help of selective processes by journalists that implies usage of certain frames and granting of space for certain actors and themes, media are able to construct a threat that may not be even real. Czech news may be influencing our way of thinking towards Russia. The content of thesis is divided to four main parts. The first theoretical chapter links three crucial research areas: news, securitization theory and the concept of media framing. Next chapter describes bilateral relationship between Czech Republic and Russia that provides context for analysis outcomes. Methodological part is concentrated on selective processes, which are being held in news about Russia. It has been operated with four variables: actor, theme, news frames (conflict, attribution of responsibility, human interest, morality and economic) and securitization frame. Concerning securitization frame, the elements of diagnosis, prognosis or motivation to actively deal with a problem has been researched. Description of results and their graphical projection is integrated to the last chapter. The most...

This study conducted a framing research that analyzed coverage of the bird flu (avian flu) in China by two major American newspapers that are influential in China (The New York Times and Washington Post). The goal was to examine how these two prestigious newspapers frame the bird flu epidemic in China and how they represent the country in this international health crisis. This study employed textual analysis regarding the way bird flu news articles were framed in terms of problem definition, causal explanation, moral evaluation and solution recommendations in both newspapers. The study found the epidemic was framed as more than just a public health crisis. Multiple news frames were found in both newspapers' coverage of bird flu, depicting the event as a cultural, social and political crisis to the nation and to the world.

Master of Science / Department of Journalism and Mass Communications / Joye C. Gordon / Global warming and its implications have astounding consequences for the global community. Although some research has been done on the trends within environmental reporting, few studies have looked at the issue of global warming in particular. Global warming is a troublesome issue for reporters for a number of reasons, and hence, it is important that we delve into how newspapers cover the topic. Latin America, especially the Caribbean region, is expected to suffer extreme consequences due to global warming, yet no studies regarding global warming coverage have been done in these regions. The first purpose of this study was to discover how a Mexico newspaper frames the issue of global warming. Next, this study sought to expand the current knowledge of global warming coverage by the media. Lastly, this study sought to expand on existing literature to discover how journalists outside of the United States communicate, to the public, the issue of global warming. Based on previous studies on global warming a frame analysis was conducted to explore how the Mexico City-based newspaper Reforma covers the issue of global warming. This study identified that ecology/science and consequences are the most frequently occurring themes of coverage, while scientific conflict and North/South conflict are present, but in low frequencies and near the end of stories. This study also identified international relations as the most frequent solution to global warming, while global warming story frequencies peaked during international conferences. These results confirm previous research, which has found that news media outside of the United States tend to emphasize international relations and de-emphasize conflicts and controversies.
