Abstract

This paper examined the framing of the war on Tigray on CNN and Al Jazeera from November 4, 2020, to June 28, 2021. Content analysis was used for the data analysis. The results revealed that, while CNN relied on eyewitnesses, including humanitarian workers and local people, Al Jazeera primarily relied on official sources to cover the war. CNN predominantly focussed on crimes against humanity and hunger, whereas Al Jazeera covered crimes against humanity. While CNN focussed on the responsibility and human interest frames, Al Jazeera focussed on the responsibility and morality frames. Both media largely focussed on the responsibility frame, emphasising that perpetrators should be liable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, aggression, and atrocities on civilians in different parts of Tigray, all of which epitomise genocide.

塑造提格雷战争：CNN 和半岛电视台的案例

本文研究了 2020 年 11 月 4 日至 2021 年 6 月 28 日期间 CNN 和半岛电视台对提格雷战争的报道。数据分析采用了内容分析法。结果显示，CNN 依靠目击者，包括人道主义工作者和当地人，而半岛电视台则主要依靠官方消息来源报道战争。有线电视新闻网主要关注反人类罪和饥饿问题，而半岛电视台则报道反人类罪。有线电视新闻网侧重于责任和人类利益框架，而半岛电视台侧重于责任和道德框架。两家媒体都主要关注责任框架，强调肇事者应为战争罪、危害人类罪、侵略和对提格雷不同地区平民的暴行负责，所有这些都是种族灭绝的缩影。
