Online Representation of Roma People
Discrimination against Roma people is pervasive throughout Europe and the role that online news media plays in reinforcing stereotypical portrayals has received limited attention. The study investigates the textual and visual framing of Roma people in Facebook posts of online news organizations in Western European (Italy, United Kingdom) and Central-Eastern European (Czech Republic and Slovakia) nations. The relationship between frames and audien…
The multimodal use of Instagram in Italian politics
Politicians use the multimodal affordances of social media to strategically interact with voters. Previous scholarship focused on national elections, but how local candidates use verbal and non-verbal strategies on Instagram, remains comparatively unexplored. A quantitative content analysis of Instagram posts (N = 1194) was conducted to examine how candidates running in seven Italian regional elections employed verbal and non-verbal strategies. F…
Multinational and Multimodal Character Framing of Political Candidates in Online News
An evolving body of research generally referred to as visual politics has brought the heavy research focus on linguistic modalities of political communication closer to parity with visual emphasis. The study reported here transcends this schism by joining momentum toward multimodality as an ontological departure point for research. We expanded an existing visual instrument into a multimodal one and provided evidence that it reliably captures char…

Photojournalists’ visual framing of criminal jury trials in national U.S. digital news
A content analysis of U.S. digital news reveals that the visual coverage of criminal jury trials mainly focuses on defendants and law enforcement officials. The U.S. digital news still often use mugshots to portray Black/African American defendants, and law enforcement officials are significantly overrepresented as White and male. In partial contrast to past news coverage, Black/African American defendants are not depicted in handcuff at the crim…

Framing the Trump Administration’s “Zero Tolerance” Policy
A quantitative content analysis was employed to study how websites of newspapers (The New York Times, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal) and cable news (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News) framed the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy in stories (N = 477) and visuals (N = 501). Overall, Attribution of responsibility was the most used frame and the news content was much more thematic then episodic, with the exception of the Human interest fra…
