  • Summary

    North Korea has remained a contentious news topic in recent decades, yet the portrayal of the country and its actions changes drastically depending on news sources. This research utilizes content analysis and critical discourse analysis to show how the Voice of America and China Radio International thematically and linguistically discuss North Korea’s threats of a nuclear strike and subsequent test-firing of missiles in March 2016. The results reveal that these government-sponsored media outlets use similar linguistic techniques to assign or avoid blame in reference to North Korea – and to China and the United States. This research is part of a larger project on critical discourse studies of state-sponsored radio outlets.
