Representation of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the Russian Media and Self-representation in the Russian Public Space: Communication Channels, Frames

In this study, we aim at a comprehensive study of the representation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in secular media and self-presentation in the media. As methods of analysis, we will use the classical four-part framing model by R. Entman, as well as the categorization by W.A. Gamson and A. Modigliani and the coding model by H. Campbell. As a result of the research, we will identify the main communication channels in which the mention of the SDA Church occurs, and we will receive a relevant selection of articles for 2019-2023. using the Medialogy database, and the frames formed on its basis, as well as a group of frames identified on the basis of the official website of the SDA Church and related resources. The structure of the research consists of analyzing the literature related to the study of the mediatization of religion and frame analysis, choosing an up-to-date methodology, searching for relevant communication channels, compiling a sample based on these channels and identifying frames.
