Most post-attack newspaper coverage frames Islam in closed, restricted terms
Evidence
According to the overall frequency of press coverage, there were more closed frames (means 51.3%) than neutral frames (means 25.9 percent) and closed frames (means 22.8%), respectively. — Muhammad Asad Latif, The Identity of Religion Always Comes Up, 58
Categorization
- SHARE: A striking number — over half of all frames coded were closed — good for anyone tracking how the press pre-loads the Islam-terrorism association.
- QUESTION: The sentence lists ‘closed frames’ twice (51.3% and 22.8%) — likely a typo for ‘open frames’ in the second slot, worth checking the source table.
