Media VS. Academic Framing Analysis Paper

Instructions:

Media vs. Academic Framing Analysis Paper: You are required to write one (1) short analysis paper that interprets an international crisis and compares how it is framed between (1) mainstream news media articles/videos/podcasts, and (2) academic journal articles. Papers are to be between 500-750 words, include APSA citations, the length not including a full reference sheet. A detailed analysis will use one legitimate new source and at least one academic source. The focus here is depth over breadth, but students are also encouraged to use additional sources to support their comparative analysis as needed. Papers should draw attention to differences in (1) method of analysis, (2) language (e.g., objective vs. subjective), (3) attribution of blame (e.g., who/what/how did they come to this conclusion?), (4) policy recommendations, etc.
