Drawing from the growing body of critical literature on parachute journalism and employing framing and positioning theories, we provide a textual analysis of CNN’s coverage of the militarized conflicts in Afghanistan and Myanmar. We focus on Ward’s news reporting prac1ces to explore how the coverages framing and positioning of these conflicts function to create for each a moral universe and its key players.
