Abstract
Description
This article analyzes American and Russian print media coverage of the 2004 presidential election and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. The New York Times and Izvestia are assessed using a frame analysis. The findings demonstrate that both papers employed a Cold War frame in their coverage. The election was portrayed not as an internal Ukrainian affair, but as a part of the conflict between the West and Russia over spheres of influence. Ukraine itself was depicted as a geopolitical prize. Both newspapers reported favorably about their countries’ allies and negatively about their enemies.
