  • The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre
    Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre A thesis presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Jared D. Hargis June 2009 © 2009 Jared D. Hargis. All Rights Reserved This thesis titled Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre by JARED D. HARGIS has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Bill Reader Assistant Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARGIS, JARED D., M.S., June 2009, Journalism Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre (125 pp.) Director of Thesis: Bill Reader This thesis presents a textual analysis and a descriptive content analysis of how the British newspaper The Guardian covered the Virginia Tech school shootings that took place on 16 April 2007. Analysis of the first eight days of coverage, totaling 61 articles, added to the existing research on media coverage of school shootings by understanding how the media lens of an influential British newspaper viewed the “gun culture” of the United States. The results of this study indicate that The Guardian’s coverage suggests that the “gun culture” of the United States may be directly responsible for the Virginia Tech school shootings, and that the newspaper and its readers (via their feedback) have constructed a collective argument that such events are inevitable when guns are so readily accessible as they are in the United States.
