Thesis (M.S.)--San Jose State University, 2006.

The topic of this thesis is myths in news of the Katrina tragedy. Developed from Greek mythology, seven themes of chaos, hero, reference, tragic flaw, catharsis, hubris, and villain themes are investigated using quantitative content analysis on Wednesdays (August 31, 2005-October 23, 2005) and Sundays (September 4, 2005-October 26, 2005). Greek stories could have been assimilated as part of the Western subconscious since Greek civilization influenced the west (Burns, 1954). This explains Lule's (2001) assessment that U.S. journalists organize tragic stories using myths instinctively.

520 $a Used in this study is an explanation for organizing stories---the framing theory. Chi square results show proportionally fewer weekday stories use frames than Sunday stories (32% vs. 75%). This underscores that in tragedies journalists adapt news to tell stories that sustain mankind. Examples of human endurance were the focus of reference frame used more in the immediate aftermath than in the later period (45% vs. 19%).
