United Nations25 titles+1Constructive“authoritative and sympathetic”
Patterns
- Quotes UN officials as authoritative voices on global crises
- Uses verbs like 'warns', 'deplores', 'slams' to amplify UN's critical stance
- Foregrounds UN's calls for action and diplomacy
- Presents UN as a moral authority and problem-solver
Caveats
The entity is the UN itself, and the outlet is UN News, so coverage is inherently sympathetic and promotional. The UN is consistently framed as a credible, necessary actor; even when reporting criticism from UN officials, the outlet treats those officials as authoritative. Stance is +1 rather than +2 because some headlines are neutral factual updates (e.g., #6, #20) and the tone is more 'authoritative' than 'celebratory'.
