Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how media framing is the process by which the media create a context for a story that shapes the way that citizens perceive it.
2, Provide a brief example from the book, and discuss how the issue is framed and the implications of how the issue is framed. For example, students might select poverty, a national disaster like Hurricane Katrina, or racial problems in the United States.
3, Discuss how framing can be positive in that it helps citizens put events into a context and can elicit a particular reaction such as public support for a government program or government intervention. Also, discuss how it can be negative in that framing can create false perceptions of an event.
