| dc.description.abstract | This study set out to examine how The Reporter Newspaper and Ahram Online framed the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam tripartite negotiation, between January 08, 2020 and August 25, 2020- in purposive sampling selected. Guided by the time frame, all news articles that entertain the GERD Tripartite negotiation downloaded from the two media websites. Theories of agenda setting and framing have been employed as theoretical frameworks for this study. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to gather and analyze the data. Purposive sampling was used to select the media and the news items for this research. The study revealed that Right frame, development frame, technical frame, internationalization frame and distrust frame were used by the two media outlets. In order to structure the stories related to the tripartite negotiation it was found out that internationalization frame was the most predominant frame used by Ahram online and used secondly by the Reporter newspaper. Ahram online has used internationalization Frame in its reports for three purposes. The Reporter predominantly used the water rights frame. It remarks that Ethiopia has a natural and sovereign right of using its natural water resources. On the contrary, the right frame helped Alahram to demonstrate the negative consequence of GERD on the " historical " water right of Egypt. It is important to create a platform that can help Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan media professional work together in order to capitalize the positive contribution of media in resolving tension and to build trust among the three countries people. | en_US |
