It begins to form distrust between, specifically, the people and the media. These tactics used by the media can be worrying to the public. When, in reality there has only been a slight fix to one of the issues and there is still need for necessary concern. I no longer feel the need to fight against the government when the news has been telling me for weeks that the issues I had, have been resolved and that everything is back to normal. How does framing effect expression? It goes back to influence and a unified public opinion. On the opposite end, framing also allows for media to restrict access to certain information leaving the public less informed. Framing offers media outlets the ability to present information that has been carefully selected, vetted, and cleaned rather than post a neutral and “raw” article that presents all the information known. How do journalists write the article in such a way that it persuades or influences a certain group of people or the public as a whole? It can help to shape how we may think about an issue because of how it’s promoted or presented. Framing looks at the actual content that is being shared by the media. Framingįraming is one step further compared to agenda-setting. Agenda-setting can be used as a tactic in order to depoliticize the public sphere. Why would anyone care about state level tax reform issues when the hottest celebrity has been caught in a scandal and that scandal has been on the front page of every major media source for the past week. Its direct effect on expression is clear. The repetitive action of agenda-setting is what can cause this influence on public opinion. Agenda-setting can also create a unified public opinion by intentionally withholding political news or criticisms. Here, protests, as a form of expression, are being restricted. In relation to expression, this can deny the public’s ability to stay informed and by doing so, this may deny potential future protests from happening. Here, the media crafts the news coverage it wants the public to see, and, in many cases, it crafts the news the government wants the people to see. For example, a source may post about a recent celebrity scandal over state-level tax reform policies. The concept of agenda-setting looks at the “trending topics” of the day. It is also the allowance of the same article to be shared “frequently and prominently, which leads people to perceive those issues as more important than others”. Agenda-SettingĪgenda-setting is the media’s efforts to guide the viewer to what they believe their focus should be on. These concepts effect how media is consumed and thereby interpreted which can lead to censorship, restriction of expression, or even the expansion of expression. Concepts such as agenda-setting and framing. Media effects center around the presentation of a story. However, in order to properly translate the stances of the government, the public, or both, you have to consider the media effects. The media outlets themselves such as blogs, news channels, and social media platforms are meant to translate the feelings and positions of those they service. The freedom of expression, the freedom of press, and censorship are controlled by the public and the government.
