Creator

Abstract

The phrase “Woman, Life, Freedom” rose as an international call to action after the unfortunate passing of Mahsa Amini in 2022. This research analyzes how two major global news outlets, CNN and Al-Jazeera, portray the Iranian movements in 2022 after Mahsa Amini’s’ death. More specifically, it investigates how these outlets portrayed the events by examining the repetition of keywords and the tone of the reporting, determining if their representations were biased or non-biased and if they were neutral, positive or negative.
