French news headlines frame LFI as conflict, RN as strategic

A new research paper analyzes French news headlines from 2022-2025 to understand how political parties La France insoumise (LFI) and Rassemblement National (RN) are framed. The study found that headlines tend to portray LFI through a conflict lens and RN through a strategic-electoral lens, rather than treating them as symmetric "extremes." This asymmetry in role framing was consistent across different annotation models and news outlets, suggesting a deliberate or ingrained strategy in how these parties are presented to the public. The research also highlights methodological contributions to computational framing analysis, proposing a reliability framework for LLM annotation pipelines in political text. AI

IMPACT This research offers new methods for computational framing analysis, potentially improving how AI models understand and process political discourse.

    Conflict or Strategy? Asymmetric Role Framing of La France insoumise and Rassemblement National in French News Headlines, 2022-2025
