Abstract

This thesis will examine these two questions:

1. Based on the value systems in one's culture, do American and Japanese newspapers describe the same public events differently?
2. If so, do these differences reflect underlying differences in national cultures?

No effect will be made to answer these questions in detail; instead, this thesis will focus on one purposeful sample to illustrate the possible significance of these questions in evaluating the qualities of international news coverage.
