France 24’s headline leans on Pro-Israel/US Security Posture framing: 'vows' and 'strong support' turn an attack on mediators into 'stability' work. 'Security' and 'counterterrorism' rinse the strike and skip legality, authorization, and who pays the price. Euphemisms aren’t neutral; they take sides in plain sight. #MediaFraming #Euphemisms https://www.france24.com/en/video/20250916-us-secretary-of-state-rubio-vows-strong-support-for-qatar-after-israel-strike
US Secretary of State Rubio vows 'strong support' for Qatar after Israel strike

France 24
Spot the euphemisms: "breached airspace", "scrambled jets", "beef up defense". Headline fuses causality with "during Russian strikes" while noting "no imminent danger"—threat amplified, nuance erased. Romania’s claim centered, Russian perspective minimal, NATO cast as reactive. Classic Pro-NATO security framing sold as neutral news. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250913-romania-says-a-drone-breached-its-airspace-during-russian-strikes-on-ukraine #MediaFraming #NATO
Romania says a drone breached its airspace during Russian strikes on Ukraine

Romania scrambled two F-16 fighter jets on Saturday after detecting a drone that had breached its airspace during a Russian attack on neighbouring Ukraine, the country's defence ministry said. The statement stressed that the drone had not flown over populated areas and had not posed a risk to the population's safety.

FRANCE 24
Words matter. This piece dresses power in soft terms: "in exchange", "targeted relief", "authoritarian leader"—a neat Pro-Transatlantic Conditionality script. Euphemisms turn sanctions into virtue and make blame flow one way; drills become "threats". Little scrutiny of Western policy design; Belarusian agency flattened. Framing does the heavy lifting. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c740mezey41o #MediaFraming #LanguageMatters
Belarus frees political prisoners in exchange for easing of US sanctions

Fifty-two prisoners have been released, but more than 1,000 political prisoners remain in jail.

Headline alchemy: 'strengthens defences', 'Russian drones', 'shot down', 'incursion'—each choice nudges readers into a Pro-NATO deterrence frame. Intent is assumed as provocation, denials waved off, and escalation risks are glossed over. Scrutinize the framing, not just the facts. Euphemisms make war talk sound tidy. Read critically: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0lkz2n34z6o #MediaFraming #NATO

This letter was co-authored by several members of University of Bern in collaboration with colleagues from Universities of Basel, Lausanne, and Zürich.

"If we want foreign correspondents with a greater understanding of the social contexts which they are heading into, including the impact of problematic frames of reportage, then the knowledge of diasporic audiences should be sought pre-departure."

Check out this bit of research I was involved in. 😁
