This study analyzed two national newspapers to investigate how each framed race in coverage of Trayvon Martin and the Black Lives Matter movement. Drawing from Feagin’s white racial frame as the framework for analysis, results show that the news coverage reflected an encompassing pro-white/anti-black master-frame that presented Black Americans as inadequate, lawless, criminal, threatening and at times biologically different. Some news stories contributed to the media’s conceptualization of race within a liberty-and-justice American myth paradigm. Conversely, whites were presented favorably as “protectors” and “virtuous.” Episodic news frames were discovered with highly-focused coverage on events that shifted attention away from the broader trend of racial profiling. These findings contributed to the understanding of the role of corporate media in reinforcing the framing of race. Emerging sub-frames are discussed.

这项研究分析了两家全国性的报纸，以调查每种陷害种族如何报道Trayvon Martin和Black Lives Matter运动。从Feagin的白人种族框架作为分析框架得出的结果表明，新闻报道反映了一个涵盖白人/反黑人的总体框架，向美国黑人展示了不足，违法，犯罪，威胁和有时在生物学上的差异。一些新闻报道促使媒体在自由和正义的美国神话范式中将种族概念化。相反地​​，白人被誉为“保护者”和“美德”。人们发现情节性新闻框架对事件的关注度很高，这些事件使人们的注意力从种族描述的广泛趋势转移开来。这些发现有助于人们理解企业媒体在加强种族框架方面的作用。讨论了新兴的子帧。
