“…The sample of articles in South Korean newspapers totaled 1924, of which 205 were from Chodsun Ilbo , 203 from Joongang Ilbo , 388 from Donga Ilbo , 644 from Kyunghyang Sinmun , and 366 from Hankyoreh . We chose these newspapers because they were the most-read national newspapers in each country during the period covered by the study (Sun et al, 2020; Yun et al, 2012). We acknowledge that the sample did not represent the full political spectrum in either country.…”

This study presents a comparison of themes found in the U.S. and South Korean news coverage of the Paralympics. It is commonplace to associate rugged individualism with the former country and collectivism with the latter, and we assumed that these national traits would be apparent in the news coverage of the Paralympic Games in the two countries. Using the keyword “Paralympics,” we searched two decades of newspaper coverage and performed latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling on the articles that the search produced. The results of the modeling confirmed that the reporting in each country reflected its national characteristics, with the U.S. coverage reinforcing ableism and the South Korean coverage focusing on the government’s efforts to promote large-scale sporting events. The news stories in both countries were alike, though, in treating disabled athletes and traditional athletes differently. Part of the contribution of this research to the academic study of disabled athletes is the use of computational textual analysis to address these issues.

“…Analysis of references to different social actors in newspaper articles also suggests a clear predominance of governmental sources in several countries (e.g. Yun et al 2012), at the cost of alternative ones, most strikingly from civil society. Ironically, a lot of media space is awarded to political actors (but typically only those in power positions) and to policy issues (measures and proposals put forth by governments) but not in ways that contribute to the political, in Mouffe's terms (2005).…”

Termed as the greatest challenge humanity is faced with, climate change poses key questions to current societies and generates discursive struggles that link science, economics, politics, ethics and other realms in various arenas. Focusing on those different discursive battlegrounds, this chapter advances the argument that climate change has become increasingly depoliticised as techno-managerial approaches gain currency and many sectors of society are impeded from shaping the meaning of the issue and from co-constructing our common future.
