Abstract: This study examines how two major U.S. newspapers (The New York Times and The Washington Post) represented North Korea''s national image during the two-year period (from 2001 to 2002). According to the findings, The New York Times and Washington Post showed a similar trend in their portrayal of North Korea. An anti-North Korea frame dominated the news coverage of North Korea in both newspapers. Furthermore, this study reveals that most news articles related to North Korea were classified into negative images instead of positive images. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
