    Girl Molestation Case

    Priming and Framing by the Media


    By: Eesha Mehta Rajeev Ranjan Rujuta Deshpande

    The Headlines
    Guwahati girl molestation: It was like gang rape, says reporter (Zee news) Shocking: 20 men molest girl in Guwahati (Times of India) Guwahati: Teenage girl molested by mob, 3 arrested (IBN Live) Minor molested by 20 men in Guwahati, only four arrested(News Bullet) India shamed: Guwahati girl molested in full public view (Hindustan Times)

    Our Interpretation
    Zee news over sensationalizes the news by suggesting it as a gang rape and fuelling rumors. TOI calls it shocking and comes up with the number of men molesting her. IBN Live calls it Mob which is very misleading News Bullet has a similar stand as that of TOI but has a different number when it comes to number of people arrested Hindustan Times calls it shameful for the country and being relatively sensible. Also Hindustan Times comes up with how or where the molestation happened where as the other news papers were more into who molested.
