| Abstract | Maritime disputes in the West Philippine Sea have been on the spotlight of media attention since tensions between the Philippines and China escalated in 2012. Framing is an important aspect of how we understand the media coverage of such conflict stories. Previous research, however, rarely focused on how it can change over the years. This study aims to address this gap by comparing the frames used by the Manila Times and Rappler during the Duterte and Marcos administrations who employed contrasting foreign policies regarding the dispute. The research framework draws primarily from the peace and war framing theory of Johann Galtung and the propaganda model of communication by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky. Quantitative content analysis was used to assess 357 online news articles by measuring the prevalence of peace and war journalism elements across six framing indicators: effects of violence, focus, neutrality, language, sources, and context. Among these, the two online news organizations were found to favor war framing in four out of six indicators. This observation is consistent in both the Duterte and Marcos administrations, implying minimal change over two years. The most notable difference is observed in language use. The media organizations tend to use more demonizing language in their coverage during the Duterte administration. |
