Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 1 Concepts in media studies: framing, agenda setting and media effects Media, politics and the environment Class 3 Miklos Sukosd

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong Media representation Media as a source of information Media as a source of interpretation Media as a source of relevance, salience Media representation of reality: selection, editing, sourcing in media reality Journalism, news media vs. artistic media representation Objecivity vs. bias in news media 2

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 3 Media frames (Entman, 1993) - Missing aspect of the “objectivity approach” - Influence over human consciousness by communication of information/text - Key features: selection and salience - Select some aspects of reality and make them salient

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 4 Frames - Promote particular problem definition (define problems) - Causal interpretation (diagnose causes) - Moral evaluation (make moral judgements) -Treatment recommendation (suggest remedies) Frames by/in - Communicators (sources, journalists) - Text - Receivers - Cultural context

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 5 Examples: Housing development project in suburbs Background: legal re-classification of agricultural lands for housing development 1. Development frame - Working opportunities subframe - Local infrastructure development sf. 2. Critical democratic frame - Transparency of decision subframe - Whose interest? subframe

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 6 3. Environmental frame - Peaceful conditions subframe - Ecological subframe - Environmental legal subframe 4. Real estate frame - Prices/markets for buyers subframe - Real estate trends and investment for professionals subframe Framing power: cultural capital + financial power Framing wars: conflicting and mutually exclusive frames (politicians; states in international conflict) Framing coalitions: agreement on larger frames Masterframes: incorporating elements of frames

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 7 Agenda setting - Salience of issues, topics, topic areas in media and popular attitudes - Causal relationship from media to cognition - Lonely people (few interpersonal contacts) follow political agenda more – stronger agenda setting role of the media - Classic Iowa referendum study: counties with newspaper and citizens’ committee: significantly different voting patterns, self-interest effect is reinforced by agenda setting

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 8 Criticism of agenda setting - Roots of media agenda are missing: policy (legislative), political, public (civic, NGO, citizen) agendas - Methodologies and methodological problems - Content analysis and polling - How many media sources? Example: Comparative research project re news consumption and political knowledge in 8 countries - Longitudinal research opportunities

Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong 9 Questions re framing and agenda setting: How relevant are these concepts for environmental issues? How free are journalists, editors, filmmakers, and media users to - select or define the frames re the environmental stories? - set agendas with environmental with stories? Can stories exist without frames and agenda setting?
