Abstract

The study examines prominent news frames, sources, and refugee characteristics present in coverage of the under-reported Rohingya refugee crisis across newspapers from four nations. Findings show victim, thematic, and administrative frames were most commonly used. Politicians, international organizations, and NGOs were dominant sources, while nationality, age, and gender were frequently used refugee characteristics. Findings suggest positive practices that journalists can incorporate while reporting refugee crises. These include more frequent use of thematic and personalized frames that will help provide holistic background to crises and lead to nuanced portrayals of refugee subjects.

摘要

该研究调查了四个国家的报纸对报道不足的罗兴亚难民危机的报道中存在的突出新闻框架、来源和难民特征。调查结果显示，受害者、主题和行政框架是最常用的。政治家、国际组织和非政府组织是主要来源，而国籍、年龄和性别是经常使用的难民特征。调查结果表明，记者在报道难民危机时可以采用积极的做法。其中包括更频繁地使用主题和个性化框架，这将有助于提供危机的整体背景，并导致对难民主题的细致入微的描绘。
