Abstract

This thesis is a content analysis of the news broadcasts of both the Vietnam and Iraq Wars. The research looks at nine news broadcasts from each of these wars. Two coders were asked to look for the different frames in each of these broadcasts. Both the media theories of agenda-setting and framing were used to support this research.
