Infos

This volume presents original, 'big picture' articles about news framing. The editors' goals are to acknowledge the integrationist impulses that propel the use of different theoretical and methodological approaches and to provide interpretive guides to the community of news framing scholars and interested readers regarding what news frames are, how they can be observed in news texts, and how framing effects are uncovered and substantiated in cultural, group, and individual sites. To achieve these goals, each chapter in this volume will feature a framing analyst or team of framing analysts who take a reflective, and even at times self-reflexive, look at their own empirical work. As the foregoing review shows, this sort of work is not new to the corpus of framing analysis. However, there are two things that set this volume apart in achieving its goals (discussed in detail in the next section). First, each article in this volume is essentially a meditation upon two heuristic models of the framing process. These models are complementary in scope and detail, giving each chapter a common rubric to review, reflect upon, and critique news framing analysis. Second, each chapter will feature more self-reflexivity about the authors' empirical work than is currently found in synoptic reviews and meta-theoretical articles. To facilitate this, authors will use three specific sites - research settings, classroom settings, and public settings - to reflect upon specific aspects of their empirical work.

Doing News Framing Analysis provides an interpretive guide to news frames - what they are, how they can be observed in news texts, and how framing effects are uncovered and substantiated in cultural, group, and individual sites. Chapters feature framing analysts reflecting on their own empirical work in research, classroom, and public settings to address specific aspects of framing analysis. Taken together, the collection covers the full range of ways in which framing has been theorized and applied--across topics, sources, mechanisms, and effects. This volume fosters understanding among the scholarly camps of framing scholars, and encourages greater clarity from framing analysts in all aspects of their empirical inquiry. Chapters offer fresh perspectives from which researchers can begin new research programs, puzzle through perplexing problems in a current research program, or expand an existing program. Providing conceptual and methodological guidance, Doing News Framing Analysis will help framing researchers at all levels to better understand news framing and to improve their future news framing research.
