Routledge Doing News Framing Analysis: Empirical and Theoretical Perspectives (Communication (Routledge Hardcover))

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. Review "While some academics consider the framing concept past its prime, this volume shows how vibrant, diverse, and global framing research is. Conceptual tensions, the interplay between different actors’ frames, frames in the new and platform driven media landscape, and comparative challenges. All these fundamental perspectives areaddressed in this monumental and timely collection. A must read."–Claes de Vreese, Ph.D. Professor of Political Communication, University of Amsterdam. "Paul D’Angelo puts on a command performance as editor, assembling a world-class team of researchers who make a definitive statement about how news framing research ought to be conducted―and the issues that arise in examining the lenses through which journalists produce news to an awaiting world. Part reflection on the craft of media research, part empirical demonstration, equal measures insightful, Doing Framing Analysis II should be on the shelf of every serious analyst of news." – Erik P.
