Issue and game frames in the news: Frame-building factors in television coverage of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum

Abstract: This article explores frame building in Scottish television coverage of the 2014 independence referendum. It uses content analysis of news and current affairs coverage and semi-structured interviews with broadcasters and their sources to explain how factors internal and external to the media may be specifically connected to the prominence of generic issue and game frames in the coverage. It argues that broadcasters’ perception of their role in this event and the powerful influence of political sources were fac… Show more

“…In analysing the stories, I generated a code for judgmental style, factual style, strategic frame and governing frame from claims and findings in previous studies (Armentia and Marin, 2018; Bastien, 2018; Brookes, 1995; Bunce et al, 2016; D’Angelo, 2002; Dekavalla, 2016; Iyengar, 1991; Kothari, 2010; Myers et al, 1996). To classify stories under a judgmental style, I looked for references to judgment-based words such as ‘warlords’, ‘savage’ and ‘barbaric’.…”

“…Se ha argumentado, asimismo, que la cobertura de carrera de caballos se incrementa conforme se acerca la jornada electoral porque las encuestas electorales en el periodo más próximo a la elección son más relevantes para predecir los resultados de esta (Schuck, Vliegenthart et al, 2013;Vliegenthart et al, 2010). De manera similar, otros estudios han encontrado que el uso del encuadre de juego se incrementa conforme se acerca la jornada electoral (Dekavalla, 2016;Dunaway & Lawrence, 2015). A partir de lo anterior proponemos que:…”

“…Se encontró que las piezas informativas producidas por los medios públicos tuvieron mayor probabilidad de tener un encuadre temático y menor probabilidad de tener un encuadre de juego estratégico. La preferencia de los medios privados por el framing de juego estratégico puede entenderse como parte de la orientación hacia el mercado y el comercialismo de los medios privados (Dimitrova & Strömbäck, 2012;Rafter et al, 2014;Schmuck et al, 2016), mientras que la preferencia de los medios públicos por el framing temático puede interpretarse como el cumplimiento de su objetivo de brindar un servicio público (Dekavalla, 2016;Rafter et al, 2014). Este resultado confirma el potencial de los medios públicos en el contexto latinoamericano de realizar una cobertura que se distinga de manera significativa de aquella realizada por medios privados y que proporcione más y mejores oportunidades para adquirir conocimiento político (Strömbäck, 2016).…”

“…Leaders’ debates form an essential part of television’s campaign coverage and are acknowledged as such by broadcasters themselves (Dekavalla, 2016). Although they are not strictly ‘news’ coverage, these debates are staged by television channels (at least in the UK), and produced by the same teams responsible for the overall coverage of the campaign but, unlike news bulletins, here broadcasters control all the parameters of how the event takes place.…”
