“…However, the decreased levels of latently and explicitly violent coverage of conflict involving America on CNNI does not square with the notion that international or non-American media coverage is unique from American coverage insofar as critics have suggested CNN proffers censored news to its U.S. audience. This unexpected finding is actually quite unique and contrary to much academic research that implicates modern media systemsspecifically American onesfor overzealously and prematurely adopting administration or other official claims (Aday, Cluverius, & Livingston, 2005;Kaufmann, 2004).…”

Although CNN and CNN International represent just a fraction of global news coverage, the networks are widely viewed, crucial agenda-setting agents the world over. This study found that the online versions of these 2 networks were remarkably consistent in telling audiences in America and abroad what to think about. However, American and non-American online audiences received disparate amounts of coverage and were cued how to think about issues in unique ways. These findings and the high level of news homogenization in this content analysis are evidence of the influence that American news values have in global media culture.

“…Almagor (2000) says that the French media in Quebec were sympathetic toward the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) and did not consider the organization as a terrorist group. Aday et al (2005) mention that the Fox News and CNN framed the events related to Iraq War as a victory against the Saddam regime and ignored the news about the battle in Iraq. By examining two cases (Watergate and McCarthyism), Zelizer (1993) argues that the American journalists interpreted the events in a shared meaning, and their identities in the community of journalists led them in the process of news treatment for those events.…”

This study examined how The New York Times and The Times (London) framed the liberation war of Bangladesh. This study looked comprehensively at the framing, the tones, and sources of news in the newspapers. The results suggest that both newspapers used three frames most frequently: military-conflict frame, prognostic frame, and human-interest frame. The findings also show that both newspapers published news stories with more neutral tones than with positive and negative tones. The New York Times and The Times (London) relied mostly on official sources as their primary sources.

“…Studies have examined how media framing, embedded reporters, and political factors influence wartime reporting (Mintz and Redd 2003; Aday, Cluverius, and Livingston 2005a; Aday, Livingston, and Herbert 2005b; Althaus, Swigger, Tiwald, Chernykh, Hendry, and Wals 2008). Studies also address the effects of news coverage and varied conflict information on opinion formation (Althaus and Kim 2006; Boettcher and Cobb 2009; Althaus and Coe 2011).…”

On Behalf of a Grateful Nation: Conventionalized Images of Loss and Individual Opinion Change in War1

Conventionalized images of wartime loss picture scripted, ceremonial events, such as flag-draped coffins off-loaded from planes or soldiers handing a triangular folded flag to grieving relatives saying, ''on behalf of a grateful nation.'' In comparison, unconventionalized war photographs, such as battlefield pictures, present more chaotic, less standardized images. I develop a theory of wartime media that examines how qualities of both the signal (whether photographs deal with military loss or militarism, and whether images employ conventionalized or unconventionalized imagery) and the receiver (the partisanship of the individual) influence individual opinion. I anticipate that viewing conventionalized images of loss will affect the likelihood that individuals shift from supporting to opposing a conflict and that partisanship can mitigate this effect. Results from analyses of seven experimental studies with 1,769 subjects and varied research designs strongly support the theory, finding that qualities of the signal and individual (and their interaction) influence the likelihood of wartime opinion change. These findings help to explain previous weak results linking wartime photography and public opinion, improve our understanding of wartime public opinion dynamics, and speak directly to current policy debates.It is the photographs that give one the vivid realization of what actually took place. Words don't do it.Donald Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense 2 Despite significant advancements in our understanding of the dynamics of wartime and crisis politics (Geva,
