Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Since the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, terrorism has become a predominant topic in the news. While there are some content analysis studies of US media coverage of the attacks, studies of how the terrorist attacks were covered by international media are very rare. This study fills this vacuum by looking at the framing of terrorism in the media of the Middle East, India, and the United States. From the perspective of comparative sociology of news-making, we examine how international news organizations framed this extraordinary event, in particular, various framing devices in the coverage such as metaphors, exemplars, catchphrases in addition to dominant frames. We argue that even in this era of globalization, international news-making remains inherently ethnocentric and nationalistic: the different framing and depictions of the same event are state- motivated/centered and stem from the lens of their dominant ideologies as defined by their political, economic and social systems. Therefore, we hypothesize that while there are different dominant frames of the Sept 11 attacks in the media of different countries, these dominant frames will similarly reinforce the structure of power in their respective countries. Content analysis of the articles regarding the Sept 11 terrorist attacks will be conducted for Middle East newspapers through the website for Middle East Media Research Institute, Indian newspapers (The Hindustan Times, The Times of India and Tehelka), and US newspapers (New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today) to locate the dominant frames and specific framing devices for the Sept 11 attacks coverage. The implications of this study for future framing research will be discussed.
