dc.description.abstractTraditional media is a centuries old form of spreading news and even with the technological age of consuming news daily, it is still a prominent conduit of information. However, world issues can often become common tropes in daily news, or even direct agendas for political or interest groups. Issues like human trafficking, where misinformation is being spread and stereotypes are being reinforced daily. Within this research, there is a breakdown of language surrounding the term human trafficking and how framing can create certain implications around the issue. Taking a look at three major newspapers in Texas: the Austin-American Statesman, The Dallas Morning News, and The Houston Chronicle, I took a random sampling of articles from all three papers, starting in the year 2015 to the year 2020. I sampled 4 articles from each year and collected 24 articles from each paper, with a total of 72. By analyzing the articles, I highlighted words, themes, patterns that are surrounding the term human trafficking, to better understand how this issue is being presented to readers in a global context.
