| Description: |
This collection was assembled in response to the interest in understanding media power using the concept of framing. It covers theoretical and methological perspectives, specific cases and empirical efforts by framing analysis and looks at framing in new subject areas and the future. |
| Synopsis: |
This distinctive volume offers a thorough examination of the ways in which meaning comes to be shaped. Editors Stephen Reese, Oscar Gandy, and August Grant employ an interdisciplinary approach to the study of conceptualizing and examining media. They illustrate how texts and those who provide them powerfully shape, or "frame," our social worlds and thus affect our public life. Embracing qualitative and quantitative, visual and verbal, and psychological and sociological perspectives, this book helps media consumers develop a multi-faceted understanding of media power, especially in the realm of news and public affairs. |
