Abstract [en]

The protest worlds of four global news channels are mapped in this chapter: BBC World, CNN International, Al Jazeera English (AJE) and RT (formerly Russia Today). Televisual representations of dissent contain the traces of struggles over representation between political elites, protesters and journalists that differ in ways that matter to the mediation of protest, in the ‘global newsroom’ as in others. While the task of mapping them empirically is daunting, it is argued that basic content analysis is a good place to start. The chapter reports a unique comparative analysis of 1,211 newscasts, one per week for six consecutive years, and any protest, in any part of the world, that made the headlines. It shows, among other things, that some countries and regions appear to be ‘off the map’ of protest, while others are in vivid relief, and that both AJE and RT pay more attention to protest than the others.
