Media Salience and the Process of Framing: Coverage of the Columbine School Shootings
Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Mar 1, 2004

A two-dimensional measurement scheme is proposed as a systematic way of examining media frames. This scheme yields cross-issue generalizability that liberates framing research from issue-specific boundaries. A content analysis examining the coverage of the Columbine school shootings in the New York Times documents the use of multiple frames on the time and space dimensions, visualizes framing as a process over time, and identifies certain frame-changing patterns in the coverage of this highly salient news event.

At the same time, it has also expanded from a concern with the salience of issues to a concern with the salience of the attributes of issues and candidate images that moves it closer to studies of “framing” and “priming” that focus on how things are covered as well as what is covered. This chapter highlights some of these more recent studies, especially those conducted outside the United States.

Readers learn not only about a given issue, but also how much importance to attach to that issue from the amount of information in a news story and its position. In reflecting what candidates are saying during a campaign, the mass media may well determine the important issues – that is, the media may set the "agenda" of the campaign.

Precision Journalism: an Emerging Theory and Technique of News Reporting
Gazette, Feb 1, 1981

Yet while we differ, we also share a great deal the desire to provide information which will make life easier and more understandable for those who read, hear or see our news. News systems may reflect different values over time. There has been a gradual shift in the news approach in the United States during the past two decades, a shift reflected by use of ’new’ reportorial techniques and more in-depth journalistic perspectives. This paper discusses some of these changes in techniques and perspectives. News presented in newspapers and in radio and television broadcasts in the United States has been heavily event oriented. That is, the news story is about something specific, a car or plane crash or presidential press conference. The techniques used to gather information obviously are related to the type of news reports which we produce. Heaviest used by journalists in the United States is the interview, often combined with an examination of pertinent public documents. The single interview is splendidly adapted to obtain a lone point of view fixed in time, but it is poorly designed to reveal the full range of public opinion, or simultaneous views from many perspectives. Only a carefully designed and executed public opinion survey can do that, as journalists -are learning. Reporters also are learning to
