“…The prevalence of violent imagery in the visual framing of the conflict, for instance, suggests the newspapers have been active in creating a sense of urgency, thus potentially contributing to the public pressure and sense of moral obligation for EU governments to intervene in the conflict (cf. Chouliaraki, 2008; Hammond, 2000).…”

“…Given the power of news frames to shape public interpretations of conflicts, their causes and the actors involved, the media may prescribe individual foreign policy decisions and delimit policy options, creating strong incentives for governments to intervene, or not, in favour of certain parties (e.g. Hammond, 2000; Robison, 2004; Roger, 2013).…”

“…Comparing the Milosevic regime with Nazi Germany served to build moral support with the reader. As Hammond (2000: 28) points out, the ‘Nazi’ framework during the Kosovo war ‘offered very clearly delineated villains and victims.’ 13…”

“…This suggests that a greater proportion of Serbs and Montenegrins than ethnic Albanians were forced to flee (Hammond, 2007: 123, 231). They were ‘systematically ignored by Western journalists’ (Hammond, 2000: 22). ‘The fact that large numbers of non-Albanians fled Kosovo during the bombing suggests that the Nato action was at least a contributory factor in causing the refugee crisis’ (Hammond, 2007: 123).…”

The Kosovo war and the Washington Post: Bombings and alignments

This article explores the alignments on the Kosovo war during the spring of 1999 in the Washington Post newspaper. How did the Washington Post represent the events during Operation Allied Force, NATO’s war against Yugoslavia? How did reporters align themselves with the narrated events? What linguistic and other means signal alignments in the Washington Post discourse on the war? The examined linguistic structures (evaluative vocabulary and agent inclusion/exclusion), the identified themes (in particular, demonization of the Serbs), and the lack of critical voices suggest an alignment with NATO and US government official discourse. The article concludes that the Washington Post did not challenge the dominant national discourse during the Kosovo war.

Karoline von Oppen is lecturer in German at the University of Bath. She is currently completing a book on German perceptions of Yugoslavia during the 1990s and after, which explores representations of the conflict in journalistic and literary accounts. She has published in this area and on other aspects of contemporary German literature. Reporting from Bosnia: Reconceptualising the Notion of a 'Journalism of Attachment' Distant countries are like stories. Once such a story has become established it is difficult to break out of, once it has been moulded into a useful truth by being told again and again (Wiedemann 2004). 1 The story of Bosnia remains vivid in the western European imagination. In the early 1990s dreams of peaceful transition, poignantly encapsulated by images of East Germans scaling the Berlin Wall, were rudely interrupted by the outbreak of war in Bosnia. From 1992 onwards pictures of dead civilians on the streets of Sarajevo, or of emaciated Bosnian Muslims held behind barbed wire, reminiscent of the Nazi concentration camps, confirmed that the 'end of history' appeared to be over. The two
