Abstract
It has been observed through various studies that the reporting
of crime against ethnic minorities in Western media is questionable. The
purpose of this study is to analyze the coverage and broadcast by
international news media regarding the act of terrorism in Christ church,
New Zealand which was faced by an ethnic minority i.e. Muslims. The
study has analyzed Deutsche Welle's radio broadcast through qualitative
content analysis as it stands as a popular method for exploration of the
subject under study while using the framework of critical race and
framing theory. The research findings reveal a variety of frames of
reporting elaborated further with detailed analysis. The major themes of
the study include a difference in the news coverage of crime incidents
against Muslims as compared to non-Muslims, reporting of parallel
events, counter narratives and image building of western political
leadership.
