News Coverage of Global Disasters: Journalism's Power to Aid
Healing and Recovery addresses an under-explored aspect of news,
arguing that journalism helps people heal and recover in the
aftermath of significant traumas. This comparative analysis draws
from local and international news in eight countries around the
world that suffered a natural disaster in 2018. The book evaluates
ten news themes that aid healing, coping, hope and recovery during
and after a natural disaster. Analysis shows that these ten
characteristics are a common element within news, transcending
national borders. The book brings together contemporary theories of
news choice and practice with examination of the journalistic
culture within each country. Analysis also includes contextual and
structural factors within each country and national disaster.
Evaluation shows some characteristics of a common journalistic
culture and other patterns primarily due to unique elements of a
national culture. The book mixes quantitative and qualitative data
to provide a rich analysis. It also fills a gap in international
comparative studies of news content.
