Abstract

News media framing has been explicated as a way to construct social realities by persuading readers with the schematics of differently construed proceedings and events. Hence, this study engages in a critical discourse analysis examining the social representation of America and Iran in the coverage from two American online newspapers, namely The New York Times (NYT) and The New York Post (NYP). Since the United States has incited decades of simmering conflict with Iran that involves a global concern, this study also illustrates the polarisation of ideologisation in the coverage in relation to the two newspapers’ political leanings. The findings disclose a disparity of representation of social agents and ideological bias between the two news outlets, with the NYT presenting a balance of positive and negative ‘Us’, while the NYP exhibiting a prejudiced and one-sided ideology towards Iran. Consequently, this study sheds light on the critical role of news framing and highlights academically a systematic analysis of online news coverage considering their political dependency.

从两家美国在线报纸的报道看美伊矛盾的新闻框架

新闻媒体框架被解释为一种构建社会现实的方式，通过用不同解释的程序和事件的示意图来说服读者。因此，本研究对两家美国在线报纸《纽约时报》(NYT)和《纽约邮报》(NYP)的报道中美国和伊朗的社会代表性进行了批判性话语分析。由于美国煽动了数十年来与伊朗酝酿已久的冲突，这涉及到一个全球关注的问题，这项研究也说明了两家报纸的政治倾向在报道中的意识形态两极分化。调查结果显示，两家新闻媒体对社会主体的代表性和意识形态偏见存在差异，《纽约时报》呈现出积极和消极的“我们”平衡，而《纽约时报》则表现出对伊朗的偏见和片面的意识形态。因此，本研究揭示了新闻框架的关键作用，并强调了考虑到其政治依赖性的在线新闻报道的学术系统分析。
