Abstract
In this article, we analyse Australian television news programs' framing of the tenth anniversary of the events of 9/11. We found that television news programs in Australia have moved away from the conflation of terrorism with Muslims and Islam and that news about the tenth anniversary was framed around the themes of human resilience and resolution. Notably absent is the news frame of blame on Islam or Muslims for the attacks against the US.
