These absences are methodologically mapped using Stibbe’s (2015) conceptual tools of capturing erasure in texts in this paper. The argument that emerges from mapping these absences is that there is a categorical operational difference between erasure and absences. While erasure may be intentionally manipulative, absences offers elite newspapers a way forward to ignore issues that do not seem to be news-worthy for coverage.
