Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: SARS burst upon the global scene unexpectedly and terrifyingly, riveting the attention of travelers, business owners and politicians alike. An obscure disease in 2002 that apparently traced its origins to rural China suddenly became the focus of massive news coverage throughout the world in 2003. This paper reports a content analysis of SARS coverage in two nations directly affected by SARS, but to varying degrees: Hong Kong and Singapore. In particular, this paper examines the role of context-related factors in influencing media frames about the SARS epidemic. The results show that the framing of SARS as a “threat to public health” was far more prevalent in Singapore news than Hong Kong. Conversely, SARS in Hong Kong was more likely than in Singapore to be framed in news coverage as a “threat to the economy.” Implications of these and other findings are discussed in terms of journalistic practices and cultural factors.
