“A Framing Analysis of Press Coverage of the Jena Six: A qualitative framing analysis of “a” list bloggers and newspaper articles reporting on the Jena 6” Comparing MSM articles with self-described liberal and conservative news blogs.

We compare news coverage of the Jena 6 found in “A” list blogs to traditional print news articles. We found that the print articles shared four themes and framed those themes in a similar fashion. Similar themes were found among blog entries, although the framing of those themes broke down along political lines. However, all blogs framed the media’s role in the Jena 6 as negative.
