Media affect audience cognition and impact public and foreign policy decisions. People are influenced by the news narratives, and the sources from which the media obtain their information to report on political, economic, social, and security events influence what audiences internalize from the news. This study examines news narratives surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war from four media outlets within the two political camps: NATO allies (US and UK) and nonNATO allies (China and India). Through a document analysis of official government announcements for government positions and content analysis of news articles (n =230) examined for their news framing and source attribution strategies within the New York Times (US), Guardian (UK), China Daily (China), and The Times of India (India), the study finds that media objectivity remains a myth to news reporting and the unavailability of competing frames in the news report on the war across the media is an evidence of news reporting bias. The higher use of pro-Ukrainian sources within NATO ally media and pro-Russian sources within nonNATO ally media showed that political alliances influence media portrayal. Attribution of the cause of the war differed significantly across media with NATO ally media attributing the cause of the war to Russia/Putin whereas Chinese media made attributions to NATO and its allies (especially the U.S.). The research finds that the New York Times, the Guardian, and The Times of India used more provocative narratives against Putin/Russia in their news report, whereas China Daily's use of provocative narratives targeted only NATO. This research confirms the indexing and media propaganda hypothesis in reporting political and security events. The research also finds that news framing of the Russia-Ukraine war across both the NATO ally and non-NATO ally news outlets corresponded with the news media's home government's position of the conflict with US and UK media being pro-Ukrainian and China and Indian media being neutral but more sympathetic towards Russia. This suggests that news framing and source attribution during conflict lacks objectivity, and the presentation of biased information could create less informed citizens. Recommendations and limitations of the study are discussed in this study.
