The aim of the study is to reveal the framing trends as well as particular similarities and divergences in the reporting on the DPRK by the selected three global news providers, which was seen as a groundwork for the concept formulation of general framing tendencies in the contemporary media. The outcomes of the analyses offered important insights into global media reporting of foreign news. Particular articles were selected and then critically analyzed to enhance the content analysis and to provide a more comprehensive picture of the framing practices in the three networks. This study found that the news discourse is dominated by conflict and attribution of responsibility regardless of the channels’ origin, ideology or political inclinations. There have been particular divergences identified between the way the stations portrayed the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, nevertheless, the findings suggest comparable framing trends in all the selected media. On top of that, the existence of six recurring attributes of frames has been confirmed.
