Frames for United Nations Climate Change Conference 2015 Comparison of Elite Dawn and Popular Jang Newspapers Evidence from Pakistan
Abstract
The present article explores the role of two leading dailies of Pakistan. Dawn and Jang are analyzed related to coverage of Paris Conference or Conference of Parties 2015 (COP21). The method utilized for the study is quantitative content analysis. Framing theory is being utilized. It is found that there is limited coverage of the global event of COP21 (N=35) in one month. Dawn newspaper has triple coverage when compared with Jang, however, Dawn newspaper has relied on the foreign news agencies and the voices of foreign political system are heard which means that the daily does not adequately domesticate the event in national context. Jang has emphasized on the national political system. It is recommended that Pakistani journalists in Dawn newspaper must domesticate the event by bringing it back to Pakistan. Jang should emphasize on the global event and linking it to national political system rather than giving political protocol to the national governments
