“…Analyzing 360 news articles in U.S. newspapers between 2000 and 2006, Dudo et al (2007) similarly found that AI news was presented predominantly with episodic frames. Considering that episodic frames emphasize the emotional side surrounding the issue (Nitz & West, 2004), this study indicated that U.S. news media are more likely to present AI in a dramatized way.…”

This study explores how South Korean newspapers reported the issue of AI (avian influenza) by employing framing, and the concepts of media advocacy and mobilizing information (MI). Results indicate that news stories were more likely to attribute blame to the government. Government, scientist/researcher, and farmer sources were most prevalent in news coverage. Mentions of tactical MI for the preventive actions increased. Overall, findings indicate the increased media advocacy efforts during repetitive outbreaks of AI.

“…Lee and Basnyat (2013) found that in pandemics, the themes of news releases included basic information or the factual information updates on H1N1 in terms of fatalities or confirmed cases or WHO actions; preventive information such as good behaviors that prevents H1N1 spread such as hand washing and temperature taking; treatment information such as options about what to do, and where to go; medical findings such as vaccine efficacy or virus mutations; and personal stories based on the experiences of H1N1 patients/families. On the other hand, thematic frames synthesize events into an overriding issue and provide audiences with useful background knowledge, and help audiences see more clearly the relationships between issues and societal and structural factors (de Vreese, Peter, & Semetko, 2001;Nitz & West, 2004). Episodic frames present single, specific event-driven cases on an issue, often rely on sensationalism, and inhibit news audiences' ability to cogently understand an issue and to hold public officials responsible for alleviation of problems.…”

“…Each frame was identified on the basis of the operational definition adopted by the researcher. Nitz and West's (2004) two-thirds rule was employed for the coding of the news stories for the presence of thematic or episodic frames. The same rule was applied to determine the presence of the generic frames based on the frame emphasis put in presenting the news story.…”

The northeastern state of Assam in India has witnessed long years of armed conflict waged by the ULFA and other militant outfits against the Indian state, and intermittent identity struggles by different ethnic groups and communities demanding greater autonomy and constitutionally guaranteed privileges. The 2000s political landscape of Assam saw several spectacular incidents of violence, of a scale and magnitude that attracted not only national, but also global media attention. This study examines the press coverage of three such spectacular conflictinduced violent events by four frontline English dailies, in order to draw definitive inferences about how the national and the regional press interpreted, constructed and presented these violent incidents in the country's periphery, to their readers. The findings clearly establish the ways in which the press constructs issues from the nation's margins in the way they define events, actors, causes and effects of violent political conflicts.Conflict has become a hallmark of the 21 st world that draws its sustenance from mediatized information. Information is paramount in any situation of conflict. It is sought, during times of conflict, not only by the involved parties, but also by those outside the affected area, particularly by the government and political parties as well as by the informed citizenry with particular interest in the crisis. Since mass media is often the principal actor in the transmission and circulation of conflict-related information and its subsequent ebb and flow, it is pertinent to explore the nature and type of press coverage of conflictinduced violent events. The assessment of the press coverage of conflicts can help foster greater awareness within the media fraternity regarding their responsibility in defining and interpreting conflict and how the public perceives that conflict.Within communication research, framing has emerged as an important research area, conceptual framework as well as a methodology, which, according to James Druckman, can be applied to an unlimited range of topics and involves multiple actors and mechanisms. He adds that news organisations choose how to package their stories…while sometimes injecting their own unique perspectives. Putnam and Shoemaker (2009) have stated that framing conflicts highlights incompatibilities, disagreements, or oppositional tensions between individuals, groups, and institutions. Therefore, framing has been increasingly employed in conflict research and consequently media framing of conflicts has become an important topic for investigation within communication research in recent years.
