Abstract:

The research aims to identify the framing of Arab news websites for sustainable development during the first half of 2024 by measuring the differences between the Egyptian Al-Ahram website and the Emirati Al-Bayan website. The research used the comparative content analysis methodology based on the framing theory. The research discovered the existence of diversity in sustainable development issues, but the Al-Ahram website gave priority to the issue of climate change, while the Al-Bayan website focused on the issue of energy. The government support frame for sustainable development dominated news coverage, and official sources constituted most of the frames in both websites. Arab websites also relied on episodic frames more than thematic frames.

Keywords:Sustainable development Framing News coverage Al-Ahram website Al-Bayan website.
