Abstract:

In the research reported in this paper we look at the media coverage of the Bosnian war in four major Dutch newspapers, during the year 1993 and the period of January-July 1995. We examine how Dutch newspapers frame the Bosnian war. From our perspective framing starts with the selection process, resulting in specific way of covering the news. Our research shows that the newspapers produce significantly more news about human suffering than the chronology (extra media data about the daily events in the conflict made by the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation on Srebrenica NIOD, 2002). The assumption that news coverage increases when national interests are at stake finds its proof as well. The presence of Dutch soldiers in Bosnia guarantees a continuous attention to their activities. The research shows also remarkable differences between the various newspapers in media coverage.

News Coverage about the Bosnian War in Dutch Newspapers Introduction In April 1992 war in Bosnia breaks out and media coverage is initially modest about the fighting between Serbs and Muslims. Eventually the war gets full media attention after the discovery of detention camps in Bosnia. Images of emaciated men behind barbed wire shown worldwide on television provoke memories of pictures from the death camps of the second world war and a public outcry ‘to do something’ follows.
