“…They have been analysed extensively from several different academic approaches (Eide and Kunelius, 2012), including whether they influence public awareness and policy preferences (Bakaki and Bernauer, 2017). One strand of research has found similar newspaper framing of COP summits across very different national contexts (Eide and Kunelius, 2010), which has been explained by the nature of the news production context (uniform media access rules and similar information sources) (Wessler et al, forthcoming), and by the presence of strong networks of co-production (Luck et al, 2016), leading to a 'camp feeling' at COP meetings (Wozniak et al, 2016).…”

Climate change is often seen as a remote, complex or 'unobtrusive' topic by the general public -a topic about which many people acquire information mainly from media reporting. However, media landscapes are changing rapidly, particularly with the growth of the internet and social media. A number of new media organisations are challenging traditional media and have gained significant audiences for their environment content. We analyse the coverage by three of these -Huffington Post, Vice and BuzzFeed -of the COP21 summit in Paris at the end of 2015, and compare it with that of traditional media. We show that while the general spectrum of themes is similar across media outlets, there are differences in the volume of the coverage and in the emphasis that is laid on different themes by some, but not all, of the new players compared to traditional media.

“…Luck et al (2016) examined the relationships between journalists and environmental nongovernmental organizations and found that a Bcamp feeling^at these summits creates Bcoproduction networks^that facilitate the sharing of information and expertise. Similarly, Wozniak et al (2016) found that visual framing that favors NGOs is most prevalent in said media coverage. However, the researchers also found that there was a strong Bstatist orientation^(p. 1) in the mainstream news in terms of sourcing textual messages.…”

Global issue, developed country bias: the Paris climate conference as covered by daily print news organizations in 13 nations

2017

To understand how media portrayed the pivotal 2015 UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris, we assessed 2580 articles that appeared during the 2 weeks of the conference in the online versions of the two or three leading print newspapers in four developed countries, six emerging economies, and three developing countries: the USA, France, UK, Australia, India, China, South Africa, Brazil, Bolivia, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Categorization by key topics revealed that much of the coverage left readers with little understanding of many of the issues discussed at COP21, and in particular, those of high priority to developing nations. For example, there was little coverage of adaptation to climate impacts and far higher coverage of emissions reductions (mitigation). Print stories largely were updates on the talks, or focused on activists, the actions of world leaders at the conference, and the environmental effects of climate change. Furthermore, articles under-reported key issues for poorer nations such as equity, human rights, and the effects on human populations. Online coverage by print news organizations was heavily skewed towards the developed world, with little discussion of the most vulnerable countries or the issues that are important to them. These trends highlight the bias of coverage to developed nation perspectives and the persistence of journalistic norms that seek to emphasize drama, novelty, and balance in news coverage.

“…14. Other publications from the authors engage in more detail in investigating country-specific framing, offering more explicit insights and further reflections on the role of visual elements and event-related frame convergence across vastly different contexts (Wessler et al, 2016;Wozniak et al, 2016). 15.…”

“…Our understanding of framing also includes visual elements that accompany a text in the media coverage (Wozniak et al, 2014(Wozniak et al, , 2016. Here again, certain objects are chosen for depiction while others are left out, which contributes to the overall framing found in an article.…”

This study disentangles national and transnational influences on international journalism by distinguishing convergent issue framing from nationally specific narrative in news texts. In a comparative quantitative content analysis of the newspaper coverage in five democratic countries (Brazil, Germany, India, South Africa, and United States) during four United Nations climate change conferences from 2010 to 2013, both textual-visual framing and narrative features were studied simultaneously for the first time. The narrative dimension consisted of variables that gauge (1) the degree of narrativity in an article, (2) the type of narrative (i.e. stories of catastrophe, conflict, success etc.), and (3) narrative roles of victims, villains, and heroes. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to identify both the prevailing issue frame in an article and its dominant narrative. Results show that issue frames converge more strongly across countries while narratives are more closely related to the cultural context and political particularities of each country. Investigating issue frames and narratives concurrently helps to reveal country-specific patterns of narrative coloring even for the same issue frame.
