ABSTRACT This study sought to determine whether RT employed frames in its reporting on international conflict that would be likely to produce frame effects supportive of Russian foreign policy. Galtung's concept of peace journalism was used as an analytical lens for a frame analysis involving RT and, by way of comparison, Deutsche Welle and Voice of America, during two recent periods of international war. Indicators of possible editorial synchronisation were observed not only between RT and the Russian government, but also between Voice of America and the US government. This potentially indicates a media type phenomenon common to external services generally, rather than an editorial approach peculiar to RT specifically. Alternatively, it might simply be a case of indexing, a phenomenon previously observed in state-independent media. The results aid in a broadened understanding of how external services function and lays the groundwork for further inquiry into this specialised class of news agencies.

RT 框架如何冲突：比较分析

摘要 本研究试图确定 RT 在其关于国际冲突的报道中是否采用了可能产生支持俄罗斯外交政策的框架效应的框架。在最近的两个国际战争时期，加尔通的和平新闻概念被用作框架分析的分析镜头，其中涉及 RT 以及作为比较的德国之声和美国之音。不仅在 RT 和俄罗斯政府之间，而且在美国之音和美国政府之间都观察到了可能的编辑同步的迹象。这可能表明外部服务普遍存在的媒体类型现象，而不是 RT 特有的编辑方法。或者，它可能只是索引的一种情况，这是以前在独立于国家的媒体中观察到的一种现象。
