This study examined media frames by analyzing news coverage of Hurricane Katrina in one local and one national newspaper. Utilizing content analysis methodology, the findings showed that attribution of responsibility, bureaucratic sources, blaming of government, and negative frames were dominant in the coverage of the natural disaster in the newspapers. The results also suggested that episodic news was dominant in both national and local newspapers, which indicated that newspapers covered the Hurricane disaster as discrete cases or episodes (i.e., responsibility frames). The findings of this study indicate that the frames in the coverage of Hurricane Katrina were used mainly to define problems Hurricane Katrina caused, to interpret or evaluate responsibilities for the naturaldisaster, and to solve the problem by recommending treatment such as resignation of FEMA’s director. Thus, each cognitive frame is used as an organizing device to form a central organizing idea in a collective manner.
