Description :
Despite the comparable message potential inherent in these civil wars, the US news media have elected to cast their coverage of the two wars in two different frameworks of understanding. The AA. reveal how the press distorts Rwanda coverage to fit a frame. This inscription of difference implicates the news media as a central player in the social construction, categorization and defamation of peoples and places in the emerging post-Cold-War geopolitical (dis)order.
