  • News Media Framing of Champion Cyclists and Doping Suspicion in The
    Truth or Spectacle? News Media Framing of Champion Cyclists and Doping Suspicion in the Mediatized Spectacle of the Tour de France By Leah Stanley A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Communication Studies. Acknowledgements My sincerest thanks to my supervisor Dr Thomas Owen for his time, patience, unwavering enthusiasm and encouragement over the journey of this thesis, and for the many invaluable lessons and skills I have learned from him along the way. I would also like to thank my family for their support and understanding, particularly my brother Cameron for his calm and perspective, and my husband James for introducing me to the Tour de France, and for helping me find the time in the day to give this research the attention it needed. Finally to our little girl Elle, who joined us part way through this project, thank you for the joy you bring me every day that has helped me see this thesis through. 1 Abstract This research compares the media framing of two champions of the Tour de France cycling race, Lance Armstrong and Chris Froome, in The Times of London and The New York Times newspapers during the Tour events of 2004 and 2017, respectively. These athletes were selected due to both their cycling prowess, and to widespread suspicions they took PEDs (doping) during their respective 2004 and 2017 Tour wins. In doing so, this research examines how news media publications portrayed suspicion of doping relative to each rider, through the identification and analysis of frames which connected the riders to suspicion of doping (rider doping suspicion frames).

The two countries both agree that “President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Japan must take place under the most appropriate timing, environment and atmosphere, and must be a complete success,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said. Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says Japan will impose a 14-day quarantine on all visitors from China and South Korea before they are allowed an entry permit. They will be sent to a government facility for the quarantine and will not be allowed to use public transportation, Abe said as officials stepped up their efforts against the spread of the virus.
