Ivanka Pjesivac, Leslie Klein (doctoral student), Imre, I. & Petrov, A. (July 2023). “The coverage of international conflict by state-sponsored media: The case of the 2022 war in Ukraine,” paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR). Lyon, France.
Abstract: This study examined the framing of the 2022 war in Ukraine in two state-sponsored international media: American Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Russian Sputnik. The framing analysis was done on a population of news articles in two media outlets, RFE/RL (N=251) and Sputnik (N=134) in the first week of the war (February 24 – March 2, 2022). The results showed that the two media outlets differed in their usage of military frame, diagnostic frame, media frame, prognostic frame and anti-war protest frame, but did not differ in their usage of the human interest frame, responsibility frame, and the destruction of war frame.
