我们研究了加拿大两家全国性报纸从1997年到2010年的气候变化新闻报道：《环球邮报》和《国家邮报》。以下问题指导我们的分析：为什么气候变化覆盖量在这段时间里起伏不定？聚焦于2007-2008这一关键时期，什么样的议题范畴、主题框架和修辞框架主导着新闻话语？加拿大关于气候变化的新闻报道的特点是一系列的波峰和波谷，加上报道的整体增加。报道的数量似乎主要是由国家和国际政治事件推动的，而不是国家或全球碳排放的变化，或其他生态因素。加拿大关于气候变化的新闻话语被政府责任、政策制定、缓解政策措施和缓解气候变化的方法等主题所主导。
We examine climate change news coverage from 1997 to 2010 in two Canadian national newspapers: the Globe and Mail and the National Post. The following questions guide our analysis: Why did the volume of climate change coverage rise and fall during the period? Focusing on the key period of 2007–2008, what kinds of issue categories, thematic frames, and rhetorical frames dominate the news discourse? Canadian news coverage of climate change is characterized by a series of peaks and troughs, combined with an overall increase in coverage. The volume of coverage appears to be primarily driven by national and international political events, more than by changes to national or global carbon emissions, or by other ecological factors. The Canadian news discourse about climate change is dominated by themes of government responsibility, policymaking, policy measures for mitigation, and ways to mitigate climate change.
