Abstract: This study will compare Kosova coverage of the 2008 -2011 period by three newspapers: The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Guardian, analyzing four types of framing (topics, sources, attitudes, and high frequency words relations) and applying Critical Discourse Analysis on two dominant narratives in the three presses. This study aims to uncover dominant linguistic elements in journalistic narratives of three global mainstream media, based on the assumption that press can serve as an important space for public discourse and can present principles for resolving political and historical issues but it can also generate ideologies that sustain and reproduce social conflict, domination and inequality. The findings of the study will reveal particular social and political practices within given perspectives of US and UK.
Keywords: critical discourse analysis, framing, kosova, organization of events, social actors
