Study Notes
Framing Analysis
- Framing is a theory of mass communication, focusing on how media packages and presents information. Media highlights certain events, placing them in a context to encourage or discourage specific interpretations.
Defining Framing
- Framing is used frequently in everyday situations, including fake news, manipulation, politics, and everyday debates.
- Culture and individual viewpoints influence how information is framed in media.
- A social-scientific theory uses frames to analyze reality by showing how media portray different perspectives.
- Reality is constructed by presenting or emphasizing certain elements within a frame.
Framing Examples
- Highlight natural disasters like bombs exploding, noting natural laws governing the explosion. This could be contrasted with a social frame, highlighting political factors or individual actions, making the event more or less impactful.
- Analyze information with a frame, asking "What is the political context?" and "What is the relevant information?"
- Frames help select and slice a piece of reality.
- Situations can be framed from different angles and perspectives creating multiple realities.
- Ex: Food processing, slaughterhouse: Framing with different angles can be done.
