这篇文章分析了印度时报阿赫梅达巴德版的H1N1流感危机报道，该报是印度发行量最高的英文日报，也是印度西部古吉拉特邦的报纸。这项研究旨在研究新闻界在报道危机时所遵循的做法，并确定报纸是如何框定H1N1问题的。从2009年8月至11月期间《纽约时报》刊登的381篇新闻报道中，系统随机抽样选择了127篇。文章指出，文章将H1N1危机设定为对人类生命的威胁，并将其框定为人类之间的战争，在这种情况下，病毒对人类具有优势。
This article analyses the H1N1 flu crisis coverage, in the Ahmedabad edition of The Times of India, the highest circulated English daily in India as well as in the western Indian state of Gujarat. The study aimed to look at the journalism practices followed in the coverage of the crisis and to determine how the newspaper framed the H1N1 issue. Systematic random sampling was used to select 127 from all 381 news stories that appeared in the Times between August and November 2009. The article identified six frames in the coverage: fear and panic, severity, safety, human interest, attribution of responsibility and scientific information It concludes that the article set the agenda for H1N1 crisis as a threat to human life and framed it as a war between humans, where the virus has an edge over humans.
