| Abstract: | Operating from a premise that nevos is an embodiment of ideological preferences, this comparative study tests for the presence of preferential positions in reports of anti‐government uprisings in China and South Korea. Employing a thematic analysis, the findings support the proposition that news reflect unquestioned collective universals. However, rather than evidence of idio‐graphic articulations of capitalist societies, the authors suggest that these are nomothetic practices prevalent in all institutionalized mass media systems. |
