"A Comparative Analysis of the Framing of Terrorism in Online News Under the George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama Administrations: from Clash to Dialogue?"

Abstract: The significant and reciprocal link between Terrorism and News Media reportage was identified in the 1990s by the convergence of security and media studies (Picard, 1993). Working in the tradition of content analysis early studies examined the way Terrorism was framed in major news accounts with implications for the Huntington-Fukuyama hypothesis (Nacos, 2002). However these early studies mainly pre-dated both the War on Terror and the rise of the Internet as a major (political) news source. This paper reinvigorates this early framing research on Terrorism by examining key frames over time in online news media via software-assisted media mapping. Key frames identified in the 1990s are examined in the online news environment under the George W. Bush administration (2005) and the current Barak Hussein Obama administration (2009). The resulting news mapping allows for a comparative analysis of the way frames, such as "insurgent" have changed (if at all) over time in the most significant stories freely available online. The comparison contributes to understanding of the potential for a shift from the rhetoric of a "clash of civilizations" towards discourse networks of the "dignity of difference" by rendering visible shifts in frames associated with Terrorism that arguably are necessary for the advancement of the new paradigm

B. Information Politics vs. The ICT Myth. 6

To my Wife and Family. This thesis emphasizes the utility of applying new media cartography to political issues. To this end news space and Internet colinkage network mapping was undertaken in relation to the North Korean nuclear crisis over time. The presence of semantic organizing frameworks in news coverage related to the North Korean issue in English, Chinese and Japanese were mapped and analyzed with the aid of software. The thesis presents, through visualization methodology, a statistically significant measurement of how public diplomacy efforts related to North Korea resonate on the Internet. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) development and application is not disassociated from or incidental to the constitution of the body politic in modern society. Therefore, Web-based study of conflict and information politics such as that presented in this thesis is an increasingly relevant undertaking within international relations scholarship.
