Framing Disability and Suicide: An Analysis of the Frames Used in the Online Discourse of Not Dead Yet

• In Event: Disability and Media

Abstract

This qualitative content analysis of the online discourse of the anti- assisted suicide group Not Dead Yet reveals many things. The group is unlikely to influence how society views assisted suicide, for dominant media frames have already been established. Analysis revealed four frames through which the organization presents itself and its cause. Although two of the frames could potentially have some success at influencing audiences, the remaining two are unlikely to do so.
