Abstract:
|
Historically, one reason for newspapers having foreign correspondents was to increase press independence from government sources. During the Gulf War, reporters and media critics criticized the battlefield theater government press pool system, arguing that it constrained media freedom, resulting in pro-war and pro-administration coverage. During the Iraq war, reporters were embedded to avoid similar criticisms about government press control during the Gulf war. But how independently and critically did embedded reporters actually cover the Iraq war? This study assesses the extent to which embedded news stories differed in favorability of tone and media framing from those filed by reporters covering the White House and DoD beats. This will be a quantitative study comparing embedded and Washington beat newstories from the same papers. News stories will be identified and collected, and following a protocol developed by Shaw and Sparrow (1999), and modified by Fackler, Frensley, and Rogerson (2003), stories will be content-analyzed to construct favorability measures and locate story frames. Data will be collected from not only national press outlets (WP, NYT) but also regional ones as well (Dallas Morning News, SF Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, etc.) to control for variation across papers. The results from this study have important implications for understanding the dynamics of domestic determinants of foreign policy and the role the media play shaping them. |
