Abstract
  • In this paper, I compare the newspaper coverage by French and American newspapers of the riots that occurred in Paris' suburbs in 2005. These riots were a highly publicized event, as they highlighted the problems with France's integration model. Most of the rioters were Muslim youths, who live in ghettos with poor socioeconomic conditions. I analyzed the articles of a conservative and a liberal paper from each country during the three weeks after the first articles appeared. I looked for national and political framing in each paper. I also found a third frame while doing my research: collective action or injustice.
