# Whose voices are heard? Making sense of framing patterns in protest coverage

## Abstract

Existing research indicates that when mainstream news media report about

demonstrations, protesters often face delegitimising coverage that

focuses on, for example, clashes with the police or the appearance of

protesters instead of their message. Recent studies have also found,

however, that media treatment differs along several features of protest

events. I test the influence of all known features by combining a large

scale automated framing analysis on protest events from the UK and data

from the Mass Mobilization Project (MMP). I find four main determinants

for the use of legitimising or delegitimising framing in news coverage

about protest: (1.) violent protests get more delegitimising coverage,

and less legitimising coverage; (2.) the goal of a protest matters for

the kind of reporting it receives, yet relationships between frames and

goals are complex and goals overall matter more for legitimising frames;

(3.) the type and ideology of an outlet — although to a much smaller

degree than expected; and (4.) reports published more recently and

longer after the start of an event have a higher chance of containing

legitimising framing.
