Abstract: The antifascist movement (Antifa) reached in the United States unheard levels of presence and popularity during Donald Trump’s term in office. Specially after George Floyd’s murder and the protests that followed, the attention given to the movement was very evident. The media, in its informative task, conditions the social perception of this and other social movements by using specific frames that pretend their delegitimization, stigmatization and criminalization. Content analysis theories, among which is the framing theory, have demonstrated in the scholar literature to be the ideal method for this type of investigations. The aim of this paper is to analyze, by using the framing theory, if frames of delegitimization, stigmatization and criminalization exist on the digital newspapers in the US against the Antifa movement. For this case study three digital newspapers have been chosen according to popularity and ideological criteria. The digital newspapers chosen were the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and New York Post. The lack of an academic body about antifascism media coverage in the US positions this investigation among the first in its typology, constituting a possible method of analysis to be replicated in similar studies. The investigation concluded that the delegitimization and criminalization can be proved while the stigmatization frames are insufficient. In addition, it has been observed an increasing number of frames used in the right-wing and center media compared to the left-wing media.
