Computational corpus analysis and framing analysis of Vietnamese digital news media of over 580,000 words are deemed useful methods for big data analysis. The language patterns, extracted by WordSmith software, suggest autism is framed primarily as a medical problem and a family issue, not a matter of social policy or an aspect of human diversity. Noticeably, individuals with autism are expected to integrate to fit in with the community, not the other way around, where the society acts as an agent to accommodate autism diversity within an inclusive environment. The study finds the under-represented voices of individuals with autism and family actors, and the dominant voices of healthcare, education, and other professionals, along with the absence of government authorities in the media corpus. This paper examines a mother’s stories which might have prominently set the tone for the narratives about autism in Vietnam. The study analyses the media representation of her family life with a child on the autism spectrum with the terrified and anguished experience of coping with the severe autistic behaviour of her son and triumphantly helping him to become a human (sic). The paper critiques the medicalisation, normalisation, eugenicism and responsibilisation ideologies embedded in the media frames that autistic challenges belong to the individuals and must be fixed, through the family’s efforts, without holding state institutions accountable for addressing this public health issue. The episodic frames to represent autism as a personal medical issue and family problem demotivated the urgency of advocating for a right-based social policy to accommodate individuals with autism, while the warrior-hero's narratives driven by fears might backfire when other parents cannot afford to do the same. The combination of framing analysis and critical discourse analysis (CDA) with an emphasis on the cultural political economy fills the gap in global media and communication studies to contextualise how pervasively the structural factors in an authoritarian country might impact the media framing practice. The portrayal of child autism-related news stories has become a serious issue in the United States, yet few studies address this from media framing perspective. To fill this gap in the literature, this study examined the applicability of a media framing scale (Semetko & Valkenburg, 2000) for the deductive examination of autism-related news stories in U.S.-based newspapers. Under the theoretical framework of framing theory, a content analysis of news stories (N = 413) was conducted to investigate the presence of the five news frames using an established questionnaire. Differentiating between local and national news outlets, the following five news frames were measured: (a) attribution of responsibility, (b) human interest, (c) conflict, (d) morality, and (e) economic consequences. Findings revealed that news stories about autism most frequently fell within the human interest frame. Furthermore, the study shed light on how local and national newspapers might differ in framing autism-r... This paper employs Critical Discourse Analysis to examine the representation of autism within a small sample of mainstream newspaper articles. The paper concludes that media, as a communicative tool, has enormous cultural power whereby the portrayal of Autism as a disability is predicated on notions of normality and underpinned by ableist ideology. Such promotion of normalcy and disability in general can serve to generate and sustain disabling barriers and oppression. This hegemonic practice therefore produces a replicative process that is detrimental to the production of social justice and equality within contemporary society and culture. The public develops interpretations of physical and mental disabilities through a variety of resources, most notably representations presented by the news media. While disability scholars have long lamented negative portrayals of disabilities in the mass media (e.g., movies, fictional television programs, songs) as dehumanizing and devaluing, studies of news media depictions have been scant. The present study focuses on a salient mental disability—autism—to advance current scholarship about representations of disabilities in the news. Stigmatizing cues and framing techniques from news coverage of autism over a period of approximately 15 years suggest that journalists may be creating a threatening space for autism, particularly through the perpetuation of stigmatic cues in more than two-thirds of news coverage of autism, coupled with the selection of certain news frames. Implications for media and disabilities practice and scholarship are discussed. This study explores agenda setting, framing, and the concepts of media advocacy and mobilizing information through content analysis of The New York Times and The Washington Post news coverage of autism from 1996 to 2006, the year the Combating Autism Act was passed. Findings revealed that science frames decreased over time, while policy frames increased. Medical, government, family, and nonprofit sources were most common in news coverage. Solutions were mentioned more frequently than causes; however, mobilizing information was limited. Theoretical implications and practical applications are discussed. This study entitled Kodi Lee in Online Media: How is Autism Represented? aims to reveal the representation of Kodi Lee, a savant autistic young man, in three different online media, namely Good Housekeeping US, The Wrap, and HuffPost. This study uses Halliday’s (1994) Systematic Functional Linguistic (SFL) focuses on Transitivity Analysis (TA) as the main analytical tool. Other theories uses to support the findings are representation (Hall, 1997), media representation (Orgad, 2012) and autism representation which includes savant autism (Prochnow, 2014) and mothering and autism (Stevenson, 2008). The findings show that material processes are dominantly used on the three websites. Material processes are used to describe Kodi’s talents. Meanwhile, from the analysis of verbal processes, it is evident that Kodi still cannot voice himself, even though he has some talents to be proud of, which on the same time contradicts with Clarke’s (2011) study. This study also finds that representatio... This paper is intended to explore the way in which Indonesian Twitter users' frame autism. Recent studies show that the micro blogging platform has the ability for its users-either groups or individuals-to use frames to bring attention to specific issues. By mapping the conversations about autism on Twitter for a six month period (, the intended findings will be expected to give further insights into (1) what are the main issues in relation to autism discussed on Twitter; (2) how Twitter users' frame the issue of autism and (3) how autistic people are portrayed on Twitter. Using DiscoverText (a text and social data analytics software) and Twitter API search, tweets were generated using certain keywords related with autism in the Indonesian languages, including "autism," "autistic," "special needs" and "neurodiversity." The analysis stage was done by applying the traditional and progressive models of disability developed by Clogston (1994) as a framework to investigate the dominant frames in Twitter conversations about autism in Indonesia. The results indicate that the frame of understanding autism on Twitter is still dominated by traditional perspectives, which focus more on the disabled individual's differences from others in society. On the other hand, the minority voice from autistic people themselves also appears on Twitter, representing the progressive perspective in viewing autism as a part of human differences. |
