Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine articles written by American war correspondents during Operation Torch in World War II as a way to analyze the framing of North African natives. This study relied on NooJ software to categorize the content of the articles as the first step to detecting thematic frames. The findings indicate that positive frames of North Africans outnumbered negative ones by more than a three-to-one ratio. This finding runs counter to the expectations, based on prior research, in which the descriptors of Arabs were predominantly negative before World War II.
