Media Framing of the First Administration of Devolution in Kenya
ABSTRACT The current research, which content analysed 565 news stories in the Daily Nation and The Standard, examined media framing of devolution in Kenya between 2013 and 2017. It examined the most dominant frame in the four-year coverage of devolution, whether the coverage used episodic or thematic framing, and whether the tone of newspaper reports was positive or negative. Findings show that the coverage of devolution was conflict-driven, episodic, and negative. The dominance of the conflict frames shows that the polarised nature of Kenyan politics continues to influence media coverage of devolution, leaving Kenyans without a deeper understanding of how the implementation of devolution impacts development or a grasp on the challenges the new system of governance continues to grapple with.
期刊介绍:
Accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training for university research purposes African Journalism Studies subscribes to the Code of Best Practice for Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals of the Academy of Science of South Africa. African Journalism Studies ( AJS) aims to contribute to the ongoing extension of the theories, methodologies and empirical data to under-researched areas of knowledge production, through its emphasis on African journalism studies within a broader, comparative perspective of the Global South. AJS strives for theoretical diversity and methodological inclusivity, by developing theoretical approaches and making critical interventions in global scholarly debates. The journal''s comparative and interdisciplinary approach is informed by the related fields of cultural and media studies, communication studies, African studies, politics, and sociology. The field of journalism studies is understood broadly, as including the practices, norms, value systems, frameworks of representation, audiences, platforms, industries, theories and power relations that relate to the production, consumption and study of journalism. A wide definition of journalism is used, which extends beyond news and current affairs to include digital and social media, documentary film and narrative non-fiction.
