Adopting a content analysis methodology this article analyses the framing strategies of three national newspapers affiliated with certain sociopolitical camps (namely the pro-government Sabah the anti-government Kemalist Sozcu and the pro-Gulen Zaman) to observe possible similarities/differences during the critical 17 December corruption probe.
