What's in a Frame? A Content Analysis of Media Framing Studies in the World's Leading Communication Journals, 1990-2005

Abstract: This paper provides a systematic analysis of media framing studies in the world's leading communication journals. A quantitative content analysis of 131 studies published in fifteen international journals demonstrates how frames are conceptualized and measured. Current problems in framing research include lack of operational precision, the descriptive focus of many analyses, neglect of visuals, and insufficient reporting of reliability.

Textual units of analysis were relatively brief, however: aside from the captions for the aforementioned images, there were three teaser headlines for editorials, two mentions in pieces focused on other topics, and one short excerpt of an opinion piece included inside the issue.…”

“…According to Matthes' (2009) survey of the field, Entman's is the predominant conception of framing used in the literature, and it is this conception that primarily guided my research, although there are of course others.
