Framing and ideology: a comparative analysis of U.S. and Chinese newspaper coverage of the Fourth United Nations Conference on Women and the NGO Forum

Article Abstract:

The framing by US and Chinese press coverage of the Fourth UN Conference on Women and Non-Governmental Organizations Forum, held in Beijing, China in 1995, has been examined. The study aims to determine how media covered the event and to what extent its critical areas of concern were disseminated to the public. It also seeks to find out how framing operates within a comparative context. Results indicate the presence of an anticommunist and antifeminist frame in US coverage which became an extension of criticism against China. On the other hand, Chinese press maintained a proequality frame and focused on critical issues of the global feminist movement.

Media, bureaucracy, and the success of social protest: newspaper coverage of environmental movement groups

Article Abstract:

Newspaper coverage of environmental groups was studied to determine whether organizational bureaucracy aids or hinders the success of social protest. Identifying a curvilinear relationship between bureaucracy level and media success, the study found that environmental groups with a medium degree of bureaucratization, as opposed to groups with higher and with low degrees of bureaucratization, were most successful as far as receiving coverage and being featured prominently in newspapers are concerned. Low bureaucracy groups, on the other hand, received virtually no coverage from newspapers.
