This study content analyzed how elite news sources framed Taiwan’s housing policy and inequality that underlies its major social problems in the press. Results show that reports used pro-market rhetoric, not pro-social equality justification. Official sources causally assigned unaffordable housing to individuals, whereas nonofficial sources blamed the government’s failed policy. This research added to the scarce literature on framing of economic issues. It’s also among the first framing studies incorporating a time element in analysis.
