Press nationalism emerges in pollution disaster reporting

Abstract: This content analysis examines how The New York Times and The Washington Post framed the Bhopal gas leak in India in 1984 and the British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Findings indicate that the frame for the Union Carbide-caused Bhopal incident de-emphasized the U.S. corporation's role. Conversely, the coverage of the BP spill emphasized the faults of the foreign-owned company within the U.S.

“…Pantti et al (2012) argue that domestic focus does not mean journalists 'engage in the deliberate advancement of national and nationalist interests ' (p. 49).

Similarly, nations with greater economic and/or military power are found consistently to be more likely to attract news coverage.…”

“…Basın milliyetçiliği ya da haber medyasının içinde bulunduğu ulusa sempatik olma eğilimi (Riegel 1938) eski bir kavram olmakla birlikte, endüstriyel bir felaketin ABD haber medyasında nasıl çerçevelendiğini inceleyen bir araştırmada açıklayıcı bir kavram olarak kullanılmıştır (Lou, Wagner, ve Cheng 2016). ABD'li petrol şirketi Bhopal'in 1984 yılında Hindistan'daki ve Britanyalı BP'nin 2010'da Meksika körfezindeki büyük petrol sızıntılarının New York Times ve Washington Post gazetelerinde nasıl haberleştirildiği içerik analizi yöntemi inceleyen araştırmanın problematiği, gazete haberlerinde bir çevre felaketinin sorumlusu olarak hangi aktöre işaret edildiğinin önemi üzerine kuruludur.…”
