BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Institutional framework-centered framing: Japan Today's coverage focuses on legal mechanisms and procedures without delving into the concrete consequences for minority voters

Limited local context coverage: the historical context of the Voting Rights Act and civil rights struggles in Alabama is absent, reducing the symbolic significance of the case
