The Reporting Of The Tampa Incident In Australian And Norwegian Newspapers, Lene Sjobrend
Theses : Honours

During the recent Iraq war, however, considerable space was allocated to an overseas event and Australian newspapers relied on articles transmitted by the same wires. Thus the war provides the opportunity not only to look at how Australian newspapers use wire copy but how that copy is framed. This thesis concentrates on instances where wire copy was …
