Comparing framing of the civil
war and genocide in Darfur
across media
– Focusing on similarities:
The use of frames is where journalists and media orgs
exercise their power to direct how readers think about an
issue
-the major focus was the conduct of the devastation and
war across all media: episodic rather than continuous
attention;
-agreement across media blaming the government of
Sudan for the war and assigning it responsibility for
ending the crisis ---except for Al Jazeera.net
-neglect of the causes of the civil war and genocide that
could help teach the world how to prevent genocide
