Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Define framing as the process by which the media creates a context for a story that shapes the way the public thinks about it.
2. Using a real-world example, demonstrate how an issue can be framed two different ways.
3. Provide a clear argument for why framing is either good (it helps shape the dynamic of a discussion) or bad (it artificially constrains discussion within a specific framework).

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Explain that yellow journalism was a development in the newspaper industry in the late nineteenth century that sought to appeal to new immigrants and a mass population by relying on comics, color, and sensationalism.
2. Discuss how the sensationalism of yellow journalism gave rise to objective journalism, the sentiment that the media should be independent and focus on facts, not exaggeration.
