By using a framing analysis and segments of Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, the study depicts how climate change is framed in a multifaceted way.

By using a framing analysis and segments of Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, the study depicts how climate change is framed in a multifaceted way. Swedish news media tends to frame climate change as a threat or/and a crisis, to not only the planet and humanity, but also as a security threat and potential threat to the economy. The study also identifies humankind as a great cause to why the climate changes and highlights international politics as an important factor. Frames on treatments contained lifestyle changes and adaptation as two important aspects, among other facets. Finally, the study underlines the importance of newsmedia’s (re)construction of reality and their power to portray important social issues, including climate change. (Less)
