520 | |a This study examined how AlJazeera.net framed the Egyptian Uprising (25 January 2011- 11 February 2011) in its news coverage of this historic event. The study also investigated to what extent AlJazeera.net framing of the uprising was compatible with the professional and impartial standards of objectivity adopted by AlJazeera. The quantitative and qualitative content analysis was utilized to answer the research questions. A representative sample (108 news stories) was randomly selected. Six news stories were selected every four hours per day (24 hours divided by 4 equals 6) for the 18 days of the uprising, yielding a total of 108 news stories. It was found that AlJazeera.net framed the news of uprising in five major frames: human interests, political conflict, diplomatic relations, responsibility, and economic and corruption. The most applied/used frame was the human frame; which occupied a third of the news coverage, followed by the political conflict frame; which occupied a quarter of the news coverage. Furthermore, the findings showed AlJazeera.net coverage of the Egyptian Uprising was in line with the nature of the uprising events, which was void of deception and misinformation in the process of framing. AlJazeera.net showed different commitments to its standards of objectivity; it was highly committed to the standards of credibility, accuracy and neutrality of language in its news reporting. However, it relatively failed to apply its slogan, „The Opinion and the Other Opinion‟. In the same context, the findings revealed that AlJazeera.net was with the demands of the Egyptian people for freedom, justice and democracy. It did not provide false news, use biased or misleading language, launch a campaign against the Egyptian regime, nor overlook the conflict between the two sides in the field. | ||
