| Abstract
|
:
|
The following study looks at how journalists from three different media systems framed Western women recruited by the extremist group ISIS. The research examined the different framing patterns within the top four newspapers in circulation for Britain, the United States, and Australia. Using framing theory, the researcher asked what kinds of frames emerged from newspaper articles surrounding these women in regards to a) gender, b) terrorism, c) religion, and d) social media. The study looked for traces of technopanic within the articles and analyzed how the coverage varied from one media systems to another. The findings of this study resulted in consistent framing patterns, including gendering terrorism, age and agency, othering Islam, and technopanic. The journalists used these framing patterns in ways dependent on the social system of their home country, which resulted in the majority of the news coverage surrounding female ISIS recruits from the West generating narratives of fear—particularly a fear of technology, a fear of Islam, and a fear of change.
