Abstract:
|
War poses a challenge to the application of journalists professional norm of objectivity and independence. Much of research on U.S. press coverage of oppositional voices against U.S. war policy indicates that dissent voices are limited in the absence of U.S. official oppositions. However, media balance norm and attraction to conflicts might lead the press actively to seek dissent voices. Our findings show that the New York Times maintained relatively constant level of coverage of opposition. However, dissent voices from various sources were differently framed according to their legitimacy, relevance and the need for application of balancing norm. |
