The Iran Nuclear Issue in New Zealand Newspapers

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Author Name
Abstract (2. Language): 
This study analyses the construction of the Iran nuclear issue appearing in three New Zealand newspapers—the Otago Daily Times, the Press and the New Zealand Herald. It argues that these newspapers framed Iran and the Islamic nature of its political structure as a threat, presented the current Iranian leadership as untrustworthy and legitimated the actions of Western elite nations and Israel against Iran. It argues that these newspapers espouse an Orientalist view and perpetuate the Western elite agenda by constructing Iran as a threat to the world.
