“…There are two levels in the agenda-setting process -first, news media impacts what one thinks about, and second, news media impacts what one thinks but frames the issues in such a manner to sculpt the audiences' perspectives and views. The first level of agenda-setting focuses on the perceived importance of the issue, while the second level focuses on the perceived importance of the characteristics of the issue (Ghanem, 1997;Liu et al, 2016;McCombs, 2005;Weaver, 2007). Media frame denotes "the central organizing idea for news content that supplies a context and suggests what the issue is through the use of selection, emphasis, exclusion, and elaboration."…”

The intersection of media, public opinion, politics, and their relationship with public policy is well documented. Taking the issue of active transportation, we examine if media narratives on bicycle and pedestrian crashes appear important in shaping policy. We define positive and negative narratives portraying bicyclists and pedestrians as victims and villains respectively. Our research objective is to understand if media narratives have an effect on the policy tools used by decision-makers to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety. We examine if there is a relationship between the victim versus villain narrative and policy change at the state level. Using a mixed-methods research design, we analyze publication reports on crashes collected from 12 states for the period 2003–2015. We find that the victim narrative remains more prevalent in crash reporting, and the probability of policy change has a positive relationship with crash reporting rate. Greater salience of the issue in media reporting may influence increased policy change.

“…Framing theory builds upon agenda-setting theory to focus on how media present the essence of an issue or event and contextualize it within a field of meaning (McCombs et al, 1997;Scheufele;Tewksbury, 2007). Framing analysis, one of the most common approaches in communication research, involves the interpretation of a reality conveyed in a message or media frame (Bryant;Miron, 2004;McCombs, 2005).…”

“…Media expose audiences to manifest latent frames through selection and salience; audiences interpret these frames through a cultural lens and then construct shared expectations and values, which affect their behavior (Entman, 2005;Scheufele;Tewksbury, 2007). Thus, media frames can be persuasive; the media presentation of an issue or event can influence public opinion and collective behavior (Ghanem, 1997). For example, Shapiro and Bolsen (2019) show that media frames about pollution influenced Korean perceptions of the need for policy action.…”

This study proposes alternative measures of infotainment’s effects on audience perception and reception of news on social media, focusing on infotainment coverage of North Korea. We determine the elements of framing strategies and narrative styles in facilitating public attention, positive and negative responses, and engagement in news content. We used the YouTube application programming interface to collect data from VideoMug, Korea’s most popular YouTube channel, run by the Seoul Broadcasting System. We examined 23,774 replies commenting on North Korea-related video clips from July 1, 2018, to May 17, 2019. The findings show that entertainment and human interest frames were effective in drawing public attention to news coverage about North Korea. Using humor and colloquial language facilitated public attention (both positive and negative) and public engagement. Over half (59.55%) of the comments generated positive emotions; less than one-third generated negative emotions (31.41%); and a few generated neutral ones (9.03%). The infotainment approach helped make South Koreans’ attitudes toward North Korea and inter-Korean relations more positive. A small number of users who served as top authorities were extremely partisan and conducted intense debates about infotainment practices. This study’s hybrid analytical framework using computerized text mining techniques offers both theoretical and methodological insights into the function of infotainment in the context of social media.

“…The other model, ’Framing Theory’ explicated by McCombs Shaw, is also concerned with studying media content and its effects on the audience McCombs, Shaw [ 24 ]. Likewise, in their writings on the sensationalist vs. serious type press’s roles in framing the contemporary political and economic dynamics in the western world, some authors have raised the importance of the framing theory [ 27 , 28 ].…”

Framing South Asian politics: An analysis of Indian and Pakistani English print media discourses regarding Kartarpur corridor

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper aims to analyze the divergent perspectives of Indian and Pakistani English print media on opening the Kartarpur corridor. It is a four-kilometer-long cordoned-off strip from the Indo-Pak international border to the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur located in Pakistan. The basic purpose of establishing this corridor is to give easy access to the Indian Sikh community. The initiative was taken into account in August 2018, which resulted in the appearance of a vast quantity of contemplations in the national print media of both countries, especially until the opening of the corridor in November 2019. Print media plays a key role in building knowledge and framing the general public’s opinion through interpreting an issue. The data were taken from Dawn, The News International (Pakistan), The Times of India, and Hindustan Times (India) from August 2018 to March 2020 using Lexus Nexus Library. The corpus analysis was carried out by applying the lexical study of Natural Language Processing (NLP) through its Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) tool to find out the general patterns or topics in the print media of both countries. It was found that Pakistani print media terms the Kartarpur corridor as a sign of regional peace, religious tourism, mediation, and diplomatic efforts. In contrast, Indian print media focuses on apprehensions related to traveling modalities, pilgrimage facilities, and tensions between the two states.
