Abstract

Media portrayal of direct air capture (DAC) matters for public opinion and policy. How is DAC framed in the North American and European press, are there differences between the two, and what are the implications for public perceptions of DAC? This study provides an insight into the media frames of DAC in North American and European news articles, for the period 2011–2023. With no prior work on this topic, five generic media frames were used for classification purposes. While the study is intended to be exploratory rather than definitive, European articles were found to be more critical than North American articles, more often viewing DAC as an expensive mitigation option. North American articles highlighted the lack of government financial support for DAC. The employment and economic potential of DAC was acknowledged in both newspaper datasets. Although DAC is relatively little framed in relation to human interest, morality, or conflict, these frames may be important in shaping public opinion in future.

2011-2023 年直接空气捕获的媒体框架发展：欧洲和北美的比较分析

媒体对直接空袭（DAC）的描述对公众舆论和政策至关重要。北美和欧洲的新闻媒体是如何报道直接空袭行动的，两者之间是否存在差异，对公众对直接空袭行动的看法有何影响？本研究深入探讨了 2011-2023 年间北美和欧洲新闻文章中媒体对 DAC 的报道框架。由于此前没有关于此主题的研究，本研究采用了五种通用媒体框架进行分类。虽然研究的目的是探索性而非确定性的，但发现欧洲的文章比北美的文章更具批判性，更经常地将 DAC 视为一种昂贵的缓解方案。北美的文章则强调 DAC 缺乏政府财政支持。两种报纸数据集都承认 DAC 的就业和经济潜力。虽然 DAC 与人类利益、道德或冲突相关的框架相对较少，但这些框架可能对未来舆论的形成很重要。

期刊介绍： Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results. We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
