Framing Theory, Mass Media, and Conflict Framing is the use of news, movies, and other types of media to structure the way that a society views and processes information within their environment, especially in terms of politics. The framing theory was created by Erving Goffman. Caragee describes framing, particularly when associated with the news, as being socially constructed. It is viewed by the news producers and receivers in a different way than the BOG because they normally receive information through a derivative source.

A generalist view of frame in thought accepts that many environmental and communicational factors can influence one’s viewpoint, but rejects the fact that other frames can influence the thought process unless it is within the previously established frame of thought. Free speech is used as an example of frame in thought which can lead to a change in opinion around this frame (Chong & Druckman, 2004, p. 106). Unquestioned action and closed meetings reflect the frame in thought as a term to justify their actions to their charge of educational and policy related. Frame in thought is a set of dimensions that affect one’s overall view. (Chong & Druckman, 2004, p. 105).

Entman’s work on framing was described as a “scattered conceptualization” which suggests how an object is perceived by an audience (Entman, 1993, p.51). Frames present in media to influence how an individual can interpret a news situation (Asemah, E., & Edegoh, 2012). Framing is established in the article titles by the Chronicle of Higher Education which are, “Questions Linger Over How UNC Chose Spellings” (Brown, S., 2015); “U. of North Carolina President’s Ouster Comes Among Political Shift” (Stripling, 2015), and “U. of North Carolina Choses Margaret Spellings as Its Next President, Ending Messy Search” (Thomason, 2015) (The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2015). Scheufele describes the roles within framing as the influence our knowledge base versus the media’s interpretation of content (Scheufele, 1999). He describes the framing of media as, “media discourse is part of the process by which individuals construct meaning, and public opinion is part of the process by which journalists…develop and crystallize meaning in public discourse” (Scheufele, 1999, p.104). Later, Scheufele’s article describes framing’s key concept of spin, or how the information is turned into favorable or unfavorable views on social issues or stories.
