| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 傳播學院碩士在職專班 === 98 === In the era of globalization, the media is supposed to act as a means of communication for countries to reconcile differences. The international image of a country is also a key national asset. As such, whenever a major event takes place, the countries involved and their leading media invariably compete for definitive interpretation. Countries may launch attacks or mount defenses. The audiences may thereby get a glimpse of the ideological framework underpinning the reported stories.
This study focuses on the 3-14 Riots in Lhasa, 2008. Three media—China’s People’s Daily, Taiwan’s China Times, and New York Times—are chosen for a comparative analysis to see if propaganda model and framing devices have taken parts and if traces of discursive struggles can be detected.
This study aimed at two periods: days immediately after the incident and days when Olympics torch relay ran its course. A total of 197 reports are selected. With framing / content analysis as methodological choice, the findings are presented in quantitative and qualitative terms.
This study finds that the New York Times focus on globalization framing and is free from anticommunism filtering; the People’s Daily highlights conflict framing and wrongly blames “Dalai Clique”; the China Times juxtaposes 「2T」issues, apparently with an intention toward domestication.
