Abstract

For many decades the Cold War frame provided a clear and simple way for American reporters to select, structure, and prioritize complex news about international affairs. The Cold War frame cued journalists and viewers about friends and enemies throughout the world. The key question posed in this article is, What are the consequences of the breakdown of this frame for how American network television communicates international news? The article presents the results of an extensive content analysis of network news in the pre‐ and post‐Cold War periods (1973–1995).
