Theory
Framing
Framing as defined by Robert Entman is “to frame a communicating text or message is to promote certain facets of a ‘perceived reality’ and make them more salient in such a way that endorses a specific problem definition, casual interpretation, moral evaluation, and/or a treatment recommendation (Cissel 68).” Framing is an extension of agenda-setting, which is when the media tells us what to think about (Sparks 228).
By stimulating people’s thinking processes, the media can alter the outcome of their viewers thoughts. If Beyoncé decided to do a surprise show in a small town of less than 100,000 people, the media could choose to cover the story
Framing includes similar functions: selection and highlighting, and use of the highlighted elements to construct an argument about problems and their causation, evaluation, and/or solution. There has been an increasing legitimization in the framing of Celebrity politician, e.g. Justin Trudeau, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump to mention a few. This does not mean that all examples of the celebrity politician are to be seen as legitimate.

While it is related to the concept of agenda setting, framing focuses more on the issue at hand rather than on a particular topic. Framing is an important topic because of its major influence over the choices people make and how they process information. “Goffman stated that there are two distinctions within primary frameworks which are natural and social. Both play the role of helping individuals interpret
Framing is a part of displaying a story, and helps audience engage and relate to what they are being exposed to.

Media plays an enormous role on people’s lives. For the good or for the bad, people tend to believe what they constantly see on the internet, television, newspapers and magazines. What the media wants to do is to make an affect on someone. It can literally be anything. As long as something that is said in the media creates or makes an impact on that particular person, the media has done
Reese (2007) defines a frame as an interpretative package that gives meaning to an issue. It seeks to make sense of relevant events and outlines important issues. Further, it emphasizes and excludes some elements of a topic, thereby giving the audience a way to understand the issue. As such, frames activate knowledge by stimulating stocks of moral and cultural values to create contexts. Frames confer salience to certain aspects of an issue (Tewskbury & Scheufele, 2009; D'Angelo, 2002). In so doing, frames define issues, diagnose causes, make moral judgments, and suggest remedies.
One of the most interesting and most helpful parts of this week’s reading was Lakoff’s explanation of framing. Framing seems to often be described as just a different way of talking about something. However, as Lakoff describes, the language activates frames or ideas. His definition of reframing was also helpful: “Reframing is changing the way the public sees the world. It is change what counts as common sense.”
Framing can be defined as the manipulation of others through the use of their perception of reality and the social constructs behind their behavior. By playing on the perspective with which one presents a situation, one can influence the outcome of the decision process of the counterpart. Thus, positive and negative framing are cognitive biases.
In our democratic society, mass media is the driving force of public opinion. Media sources such as Internet, newspaper, news-broadcasts, etc, play significant roles in shaping a person’s understanding and perception about the events occurred in our daily lives. As long as the newspapers, internet, network television, etc, continued to be easily accessible to the public, the media will continue to have an influence in shaping its opinions. Factors such as agenda-setting, framing and priming help shape the public opinions. Agenda-setting is when the media focuses their attention on selected issues on which the public will form opinion on, whereas framing allows the media to select certain aspects about the problem and then
The research for this article was conducted within a framework of Framing theory. The theory was first put forward by a Canadian-American sociologist Erving Goffman. Media framing, to put it bluntly, is a term that points to a presence of a certain bias in any media outlets’ output. All choices made in a newsroom collectively form the frame through which media decides to show the world to the audiences. Everything matters: Covering one event and ignoring another, covering one event more than the other, deciding what words to use to cover an event, what photographs or video clips to include, whom to give a voice, etc. At the same time, framing theory goes far beyond newsroom policies. Framing is not necessarily a delibirate choice. Journalists themselves look at the world through frames: their education, upbringing, gender, ethnical background, knowledge of the issue, and so on. Audience members apply their own frames as well, not just to media content, but to everything they hear and see.
Have you ever had an original thought? Why do we dress the way we do, watch what we watch or even live the way we do. Through our means of entertainment, it is almost a guide in how one should live their life. With the technology we have in our world we are persuaded to believe what is right and what is wrong. Although we create our own world, our thoughts were imposed upon us since the day we are born. “What if the world is some kind of show. What if we are only talents assembled by the Great Talent Scout Up Above! The Great Show of Life! Starring Everybody! Suppose entertainment is the Purpose of Life,” says Gabler. We wake up in the morning where most of us have a daily routine we go through. Why do we put on
