Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The paper explores in comparative terms the national elite newspapers’ framing of 9/11 in the US, France, Italy and Pakistan. The empirical investigation serves a broader theoretical objective: showing that international comparative research can contribute to theoretical innovation in the field of political communications. The study specifically addresses the case of the “Indexing hypothesis” about state/press relations (Bennett 1990). It starts from the consideration that political communications research is dominated by theories developed through studies carried out in the US. The hypothesis has been refined in several ways in the last fifteen years, but it always leads to the conclusion that media content is indexed to the range of debate within political elites. The study sets off to verify the validity and scope of the hypothesis by testing it on foreign contexts. The analysis compares news framing of 9/11 in the four different countries to the contents of the respective political discourses revealing that, within an international comparative context, the hypothesis acquires a totally different meaning. The comparative perspective reveals not only that a certain amount of "indexing" is “obvious,” but also that the “indexing effect” can be explained through alternative variables than a supposed influence by political actors on the media. Such dynamics could not have been observed within a single country. The study therefore emphasizes the need to overcome research on domestic contexts to allow further development of the political communications field and its theoretical regeneration, especially in a globalized and fast-changing world.
