dc.description.abstract	This thesis intends to review and integrate disaster research and their myths, media’s use of frames, and theory of homo sacer and marginalization to determine how disaster victims can potentially be marginalized through the way they are articulated through mainstream online news media. This thesis will review how disaster victims can be articulated as understood through already existing works and frame analyses of Hurricane Katrina; and then, determine how those directly affected by Hurricane Sandy are articulated by carrying out a frame analysis of select online news media coverage.
