| Summary: | Protests and Perceptions: The Framing of the Modern Protester considers the role of
the modern mass media in creating and perpetuating simplified images of newsworthy
events and people. Specifically, an in-depth analysis of New York Times_and Washington
Post coverage of the Summit of the Americas held from April 20, 2001 to April 22, 2001
in Quebec, Canada, provides examples of media framing of both Summit participants
and protesters. The analysis shows that newspaper reports on the debate are presented
through a pro-capitalist framework, which influences readers' perception of those who
oppose globalization and free trade.
