Overview

Comparative study investigates framing and sourcing patterns in climate change media coverage, highlighting disparities between Western and Bangladeshi outlets.

Key Points

  • This study aims to examine the differences in climate change news coverage between Bangladeshi and Western broadcast media in 2022.
  • Comparative analysis of coverage from two Bangladeshi TV stations (Somoy TV and Independent TV) and Western outlets (CNN and BBC)
  • Identification of newly presented frames in Bangladeshi media
  • Assessment of the primary sources used in climate change stories
  • Bangladeshi media introduced four new frames: displacement, food insecurity, infrastructure vulnerability, and unemployment/poverty.
  • Western outlets focused on established frames, including scientific consensus and public health.
  • Source selection differed markedly, with Bangladeshi channels relying more on government officials than experts compared to Western media.
