Narratives at Conflict: Computational Analysis of News Framing in Multilingual Disinformation Campaigns (2024.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for multilingual framing differ from those used in English-speaking world . framers often use loaded vocabularies to create political images or favor a particular point of view . |
| Approach: | They use eight years of Russian-backed disinformation campaigns to examine framing . they find that disinformation campaign consistently favors specific framers . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method underperforms and shows high disagreements in Russian-language articles . the proposed method is based on eight years of Russian-backed disinformation campaigns . |
