During February 2020 and the surrounding months there was a big increase in the number of articles. Many of those articles refer to an increase of teen robbery during the last few years, but why would the number of articles increase from one or two each year to almost teen in one month? The main purpose of this paper is to investigate those articles too see what the journalists are trying to convince their readers of. There is a wild mix of different articles and together they cover almost all the possible subjects related to teen robbery. Some of the journalists are asking for longer punishment and lower age limits for convictions, others are talking about the vile actions of the robbers and how they discriminate their victims in different ways. There are also two articles who criticize how the other journalist jumps to conclusions so easily and the effects of the frame for teen robbery created by the media. (Less)
