Frame building has been described as the flow of frames from political actors to journalists and, thus, to news articles. One influence factor to be considered in the area of framing is media input, which consists of materials that political actors send to newsrooms to facilitate their work while influencing the news. To find out to what extent the government’s frames for the Merida Initiative influenced news frames, we identified the issue-specific frames of the initiative, measured their presence in newspapers and media input, and conducted eight cross-lagged correlation analyses. On seven occasions, the correlation went above the baseline. For this reason, it was concluded that the salience of frames in media input had a significant role in the salience of frames in news.

This study explores the news media Twitter messaging on the issue of Grexit, as an exemplary case of transmediatisation of problems in highly polarized contexts. Our analysis focuses on media tweets (in English, French, Italian, and Greek) using the Grexit hashtag between March and July 2015. There are three main questions on the potential reshaping of journalistic sourcing and framing on Twitter. The first focuses on the milieu of actors used by media outlets as sources in the #Grexit debate, the second on the types of news frames that dominated #Grexit media tweets, and the third on how sourcing and news frames interact to construct a space of power positions. The above processes took shape within a close information system, which included politicians, media elites, and economic experts that marginalized alternative voices and critical perspectives. These findings indicate that mainstream news media normalized Twitter to fit their traditional sourcing and framing norms and practices. More specifically, our findings indicate the following: first, traditional sources and powerful economic actors get easier access to online media reporting on Twitter; second, the negative and episodic media-driven frames take the lead in the frame-building process; and third, the non-elite political and socially-driven frames are marginalized in the framing building process. The Twitter affordances were essentially normalized by media to fit into their understandings of the negotiation process as a high-stakes international politics and economic game with predetermined winners and losers. It is also likely that this normalization reflects the normalization of Twitter by powerful political and economic elites aiming to offer journalists on Twitter easy and instant access to their narratives.

Revolution in the information and technology is the primary phenomenon behind the globalization which has resulted in the interdependence of the nations. The creation of various international groupings such as UN, ASEAN, BRICS, G8, G20 etc. is also the result of the technological convergence. In such a scenario, the issues which affect one country are the issues which impact the world as a whole too. The countries connected by international are now having the sense of belongingness towards each other. Terrorism isone such issue on which every country of the world has a say at this moment. The united effort by major powers todefeat terrorism at a front and the response of terrorists on such efforts is being reported in all newspapers. The incidents of terrorism at any place and its reporting innews dailies play an important part in determining the perspective of the masses on such issues. Further, news framing results in the different types of news frames in coverage of same issues. Through this study, the researcher has made an effort to study the detailed coverage of the ‘Paris Attacks’ of 13/11 in regional as well as national English dailies of Jalandhar (Punjab).

The conflict in Ukraine has prompted analyses about the return of cold war divisions to Europe. This study focusses on the role the news media plays in the conflict by examining how the visual and textual practices of news framing help constitute geopolitical rationality and legitimise foreign policy. We analyse how the framing of the conflict in Die Welt, Dagens Nyheter, Helsingin Sanomat and The Guardian developed through four key events between February 2014 and February 2015. The analysis indicates that by promoting particular news frames the newspapers contributed to the legitimation of European Union policies, which are premised upon supporting the Ukrainian government in its military campaign in eastern Ukraine and placing responsibility for the conflict onto Russia. Hence, we argue that the news framing eventually contributed to the naturalisation of the ‘new cold war’ as a geopolitical rationality, orienting and legitimising foreign policy in Europe.

Previous studies have demonstrated that the media, by specifically framing news articles, may systematically affect a nondisabled recipient’s perception of athletes with disabilities (AWDs). However, it remains unclear how specific sports news frames affect a recipient’s quality perception of a journalistic product and if news frames further affect an individual’s postexposure behavior in social interaction with a person with a disability (PWD). To shed some light on these potential news-framing effects, 2 experimental studies (between-subjects designs) were conducted. Study 1 revealed systematic news framing’s effects on recipients’ attitudes toward a depicted AWD and showed effects on a recipient’s perceived quality of a news story. Study 2 further revealed that specific news frames may (automatically) affect a recipient’s behavior (e.g., verbal communication performance, visual attention/ eye contacts) in a subsequent face-to-face social interaction with a PWD. The findings are discussed regarding their implications for the journalistic coverage of disability sports in the media.

This research examined news frames in coverage of SARS by newspapers in China and the United States. The assumption was that with the adoption of Western news values and practices, the Chinese press would exhibit news frames similar to those found in Western news. The results showed the presence of economic consequences, responsibility, conflict, leadership, and human-interest news frames in both the U.S. and Chinese newspapers. Depending on the newspaper's country of origin, however, the degree and manner of the frame uses varied.

Since framing theory was incorporated into Communication studies, its use by researchers has increased steadily, to study the presence of frames both within the communicative process and especially in the different parts thereof. This paper reviews the evolution of this theory within Communication, paying special attention to various relevant aspects. Specifically, the main proposals for existing frame typologies are extracted and discussed. The debates about the visualization of framing as a research program or project as well as the fields in which it is studied are reviewed. In addition, this paper reviews the logic of such research in the three main fields of study within the theory: frame building, the presence of news frames in messages, and the framing effects on the audience, providing a review of the methodological approaches followed in each of these lines of work. Resumen Desde que la teoría del framing se incorporó a los estudios de la comunicación, su utilización por parte de los investigadores se ha incrementado de forma constante, tanto para estudiar la presencia de los encuadres dentro del proceso comunicativo en su conjunto, como sobre todo en las partes que lo conforman. En este artículo se realiza un repaso de la evolución de la teoría en la disciplina, prestando especial atención a algunos aspectos relevantes. En concreto, se recuperan las principales propuestas de tipologías de encuadres existentes, y se revisa el debate sostenido acerca de la visualización del framing como un programa o proyecto de investigación, y de los campos de su estudio. Además, en el texto se revisa la lógica de la investigación en los tres principales campos de estudio de la teoría: construcción de los encuadres, presencia de encuadres noticiosos en los mensajes, y efectos que el framing tiene sobre la audiencia, haciendo una revisión de los acercamientos metodológicos seguidos en cada una de esas líneas de trabajo.

<p><strong>RESUMO</strong></p><p>Este texto volta-se à matriz de referências da framing analisys para estudar o modo como duas das maiores revistas semanais brasileiras – Veja e IstoÉ – valem-se de estratégias retóricas para estabelecerem enquadramentos noticiosos semelhantes na cobertura do primeiro ano do segundo mandato da presidenta Dilma Rousseff. Como recorte empírico, o trabalho debruça-se sobre as edições dos meses de janeiro e dezembro de 2015, período marcado por uma profunda crise política envolvendo o Governo Federal brasileiro. Conclui-se que o tratamento realizado pelas revistas semanais estudadas, sobretudo em seus processos de seleção de fontes, hierarquização de informações e utilização de figuras retóricas, aproxima-se de um modelo de enquadramento noticioso hegemônico nos termos trabalhados por Gitlin (2003), Porto (2002), Sigal (1974) e Soley (1992), tais como: a simplificação, a dramatização, o silenciamento de atores políticos e a constituição de um padrão hegemônico das fontes.</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p>The article uses the framing analysis references in order to study how two of the largest Brazilian weekly magazines – Veja and IstoÉ – employ rhetorical strategies to similarly frame their news coverage of the first year of the second term of President Dilma Rousseff. As empirical frame, the study focuses on the issues of January and December, 2015, a period marked by a deep political crisis involving the Brazilian federal government. It can be concluded that the approach of the two weekly magazines, especially in their sources selection processes, hierarchy of information and use of rhetorical figures, resembles a hegemonic news framing model such as those employed by Gitlin (2003), Porto (2002), Sigal (1974) and Soley (1992), such as: simplification, dramatization, muting of political actors and construction of a hegemonic pattern of sources.

"This paper presents the findings of a study that examined how different political actors and the media presented the Chaoulli v. Quebec case to public. As should be clear, the Chaoulli v. Quebec case was both an extremely important case and an extremely complicated one. As a result, it is important to understand how it was presented to the public. The study was conducted in two parts. First, the specific issues frames expressed by political actors at the Supreme Court hearing were identified and mapped. This was done by examining the transcripts and factums from the hearing and noting the different problem definitions, causal interpretations, suggested remedies, and moral appeals expressed by political actors there (Entman 1993). This review revealed that three distinct specific issues frames were put forth during the hearing by three distinct sets of actors. Next, media coverage of the case was examined. Specifically, media coverage in the Toronto Star, the National Post, the Globe and Mail, and the Ottawa Citizen was examined from the day the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case until six-months after the Supreme Court announced its ruling. Using content analysis, this part of the study identified (1) the presence or absence of the specific issue frames identified in the first part of the study; (2) the type of generic news frames (e.g. the Human Interest Frame) (Semetko and Valkenburg, 2000) used to present the case, and (3) which political actors were directly quoted in coverage of the case."--Page 4.
