Abstract:

The study content-analyzed U.S. and Chinese newspapers coverage of the Iraq war. Two U.S. Newspapers, the New York Times and the Washington Post, and two Chinese newspapers, the People's Daily Online and China Daily, were selected for study due to their prominent media status in their respective countries. The study found different media frames in these newspapers in their coverage of the Iraq War. While the two US newspapers framed the Iraq War as a war aiming at toppling Seddam Hussein and free Iraqi people from Seddam dictatorship, the two Chinese newspapers framed the Iraq War as an invasion of Iraq territory, a violation of UN charter. The government stand of the two countries on the issues of the Iraq War and their respective attitudes toward the Iraq War probably determined the way the Iraq War was framed in different media. The study revealed that in international news coverage, especially in times of international conflict, government stand and cultural value often top all other factors in shaping media reporting. This study also found that Chinese newspapers strongly delegitimized the War, and that while the two US newspapers didn't show an obvious effort to try to legitimize the War, patriotism did play a big role in their news coverage of the War.
