“…The resulting sample consisted of 1,518 images, out of which 295 were taken from the ATO group and 1,223 originated from the RftNM group. Following earlier works (Griffin, 2004;Griffin and Lee, 1995;Parry, 2010;Schwalbe and Dougherty, 2015) that rely upon content analysis of conflict-related images, we coded all images from our sample using a selection of metrics, which are described below.…”

“…These arguments are supported by Schwalbe and Dougherty (2015: 142), who in their study on the use of images for framing the 2006 Israel-Lebannon war point out that not only are visuals processed quicker than texts, but they also produce an immediate emotional response. Similarly, Parry (2010Parry ( : 1189 in her study of visual framing of the 2003 Iraq war argues that visual frames have a higher degree of memorability, which makes their impact higher as compared with verbal ones.…”

“…The majority of works dedicated to visual framing of conflicts (Fahmy and Kim, 2008;Neumann and Fahmy, 2012;Parry, 2010) rely upon data from news media, such as newspapers and information agencies. While images produced by professional journalists for mainstream media remain a major source of frames, the increasing role of social media should also be recognized.…”

This article investigates the use of social media for visual framing of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Using a large set of visual data from a popular social networking site, Vkontakte, the authors employ content analysis to examine how the conflict was represented and interpreted in pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian online communities during the peak of violence in summer 2014. The findings point to the existence of profound differences in framing the conflict among proUkrainian and pro-Russian online communities. The former tended to interpret the conflict as a limited military action against local insurgents, whereas the latter presented it as an all-out war against the Russian population of Eastern Ukraine. The article suggests that framing the conflict through social media facilitated the propagation of mutually exclusive views on the conflict and led to the formation of divergent expectations in Ukraine and Russia concerning the outcome of the war in Donbas.

“…The visual framing of the discourse of nation and its culture is a relatively and increasingly important new method of studying of visual texts (Fahmy, 2010;Fahmy & Kim, 2008;Huang & Fahmy, 2013;Parry, 2011). Previous studies took an inductive visual approach to frame their analysis to analyse the content of the news (Parry, 2011) and corporate publications (Garcia & Greenwood, 2013).…”

“…Previous studies took an inductive visual approach to frame their analysis to analyse the content of the news (Parry, 2011) and corporate publications (Garcia & Greenwood, 2013). However, these studies were limited to how frame analysis works on the textual and photographic elements of these publications without exploring audience responses (Fahmy, 2010;Rodriguez & Dimitrova, 2011).…”

Framing in strategic communications: The construction of ‘National Unity’ through Public Service Announcements (PSAs) in Malaysia

This thesis investigates the construction of 'national unity' within the culturally diverse society of Malaysia. Specifically, it aims not only to understand how 'national unity' is constructed by the ruling elites but also how these dominant frames are contested and negotiated by people of different ethnic groups. Indeed, the issue of 'national unity' in Malaysia is controversial and complex. The country faces ongoing challenges, many related to the divisive legacies of the British colonial system; its recent history has been marked by struggles around questions of ethnicity, nationalism, elite power, and the status accorded to ethnic Malays -the Bumiputera, or 'People of the Soil' -post-independence. On the other hand, the country is well-known for its cultural heterogeneity and Drawing on framing as the theoretical and methodological framework for this research, the objectives of this study are firstly, to examine how 'national unity' is constructed through these PSAs, and secondly, to explore the intended audiences' perceptions of those PSAs and the frames underpinning these perceptions. To achieve these outcomes, the research develops a framing analysis of a 102-item sample of PSAs in the form of print, broadcast, and online media promoting 'national unity' and social cohesion, published by the Malaysian government between 2009 and 2014. The results of a series of six focus groups representing the three major ethnic groups in Malaysia -Malays, Chinese, and Indian -are also analysed, using a framing approach. The findings suggest that multiple, often conflicting frames are involved in making sense of 'national unity'; contested narratives of nationhood and ethnic identity are identified as central themes in the analysis. In specific, the Government's construction of 'national unity' discovered two dominate: nationalism frame and multiculturalism frames, while audience's construction of 'national contested ii these frames at times and added a different, oppositional frame: political frame. These findings reinforce the importance of understanding processes of strategic communication in complex, multicultural contexts, involving multiple actors with competing ways of framing the issue. Indeed, the possibility of genuine social cohesion relies on understanding and addressing this very complexity.iii

Visual Framing

Visuals have always been an integral part of media communication, but framing has been predominantly examined in textual contexts. Narrowing down the visual gap in framing theory and research during the last decade, scholarship has put considerable efforts into adapting visual theories and methodologies to “framing analysis” and into refining them, and a remarkable number of studies has been published since then. As a mode‐specific variation of the broader framing concept, visual framing has meanwhile gained status as one of the lifelines for visual research and is seen as increasingly important in framing research in general. Beyond outlining central definitions and ideas of the visual framing concept and its theoretical groundings and beyond understanding it as a multilevel concept, an overview of current research foci is provided, and central challenges—especially that of broadening the concept from visual to multimodal framing—are discussed.
