“…It is well known that newspapers are influenced by their environment including ownership, funding, need for circulation, advertisement revenue and the readers preference for reading like-minded news (Abbring & Van Ours, 1994;Allport & Faden, 1940;Anderson, 2009;Bulkow, Urban, & Schweiger, 2013;Carragee & Roefs, 2004;Gentzkow & Shapiro, 2010;George, 2007;Gilens & Hertzman, 2000;Illia, Lurati, & Casalaz, 2013;McCauley, Blake, Meissner, & Viswanath, 2013;Price, 2003;Reddaway, 1963;Reese, 2001;Roberts & McCombs, 1994;Schudson, 2002;Shoemaker, Vos, & Reese, 2009;Sill, Metzgar, & Rouse, 2013;Weaver & Elliott, 1985;White, 2013;Winseck, 2002).…”

Food security is an issue of global concern recognized by numerous international and national agencies. It has been mentioned over twenty times in the Rio+20 outcome document The Future We Want. It is recognized as an essential human security by the World Health Organization Commission for Human Security and as a social determinant of health. Food security agendas are enacted in many places locally to globally. Media are to inform the public on issues of importance for the public. Disabled people are part of the public and disabled people are one group experiencing over proportional levels of food insecurity. We investigated the food security coverage of various newspapers through a disability studies lens. To obtain quantitative data on the visibility of disabled people and other groups in the food security discourse the following newspapers were investigated: The Globe and Mail (Canada), National Post (Canada), Calgary Herald (Canada), New York Times (USA), The Guardian (UK), The Times (UK), and the Canadian Newsstand complete, a collection of 300 Canadian newspapers. Quantitative and qualitative data on what food security issues were reported was obtained from The Globe and Mail (Canada), Calgary Herald (Canada) and the New York Times (USA). We discuss how issues reported around food security are influenced by disabled people and how they could impact disabled people. We found very little to no mentioning of disabled people within food security coverage. Our data also reveals the absence of coverage of other socially disadvantaged groups such as indigenous people and immigrants and a lack of a human rights or ethics angle. We posit that many of the food security problems mentioned are of relevance to and experienced by disabled people and other socially disadvantaged groups such as indigenous people and immigrants however the reader won't make the linkage by reading the newspapers we investigated. We conclude that the utility of the newspapers covered in advancing food security for disabled people and other socially disadvantaged groups is very low.

“…Reese (2001) also refers framing as "organising principles that are socially shared and persistent over time, that work symbolically to meaningfully structure the social world" (p. 11). Simply put, framing targets the cognitive aspect of its audiences in order to bring about an impact in their perceptions (see Carragee & Roefs, 2004;Endres, 2004;Gevorgyan, 2010;Scheff, 2005;Goftman, 1974;Simon & Xenos, 2000).…”

“…As noted by Zhou & Mou (2007), news framing are influenced externally by the political system, political culture, and prevailing notions among the public (Zhou & Mou, 2007). Carragee & Roefs (2004) also point out that media frames do not develop in vacuum, but are shaped by actors or claim-makers through series of competition. These actors may include politicians, organizations, and social movements.…”

Frame Contention between News Sources and News Media: Framing the Dispute of Teaching Mathematics and Science in English

The studies of framing have been so far focusing on the analysis of media effects or the frame-setting process. Comparatively, the process of building media frames that takes place in the newsrooms has received meagre attention from the scholars. And traditionally, most of the studies that investigate frame-building process have their attention centred on the internal factors, including newsroom practices and characteristics of the journalist. External factors, especially the interaction between media and news sources, are thus far being overlooked. On that account, this study seeks to examine the influences of the above two variables on frame-building process through examination of a contemporary issue in Malaysia -teaching Mathematics and Science in English. The scrutiny of the role of news sources in the process of frame-building may contribute significantly to the knowledge of framing studies. Based on the 1,156 units of analysis collected from five Malaysian Chinese dailies, the study's findings show that news sources or frame sponsors are comparatively more influential in the frame-building process.

“…That is, framing can be used to imply what part of messages are valuable and thus shape public opinion (Callaghan & Schnell, 2005). As exemplified in Malaysia, what should be selected and what is salient within how messages are framed, routinely favour the political elite (Carragee & Roefs, 2004;Vliegenthart & van Zoonen, 2011). How all this relates to the audiences of the Government's framing is less known as are what is likely to emerge from their conversations and what contention may arise (Vliegenthart & van Zoonen, 2011) as people actively construct meaning from framed messages (Goffman, 1974).…”

“…A basic premise is that, framing is very much related to the contexts (Carragee & Roefs, 2004;Matthes, 2009) as meanings depend on the context in which frames are encountered (Chong & Druckman, 2007). This suggests that frames taken out of context are often meaningless.…”

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
