-
Paul D’Angelo
Paul D’Angelo is a Professor of Media and Political Communication in the Department of Communication Studies at The College of New Jersey, where he teaches and conducts research on media industries, news icons, news framing analysis, and public opinion about the press. He has edited two volumes about news framing,Doing News Framing Analysis: Empirical and Theoretical Perspectives (2009, Routledge) andDoing News Framing Analysis II: Empirical and Theoretical Perspectives (2018, Routledge). He is currently working on a book (with Erik P. Bucy) about how coverage of particular press scandals prime public opinion about news organizations and journalism.
Abstract
This chapter summarizes the burgeoning literature on mediated message framing. Its main theme is that doing framing analysis requires theorists and researchers to pay ongoing attention to theory integration, technological change, psychological processes, and methodological precision. The chapter focuses on the two main types of media frames, emphasis and equivalency. Each type suggests a range of ways that communicators contextualize events and issues. By investigating these frame types, researchers have consistently shown that framing effects involve an interaction between frame exposure and individuals’ prior knowledge of the events and issues being framed.
