Abstract

There have been some theoretical arguments regarding framing among researchers despite differences over various forms. However, there hasn't been much empirical research done on the actual implementation of these theories. By contrasting important phrases and statements from coverage of Roe v. Wade’s abortion rights case by two major news organizations—the liberal New York Times and the conservative Fox News, this study examines how a conversation that is framed affects people's political media bias. Findings show that news framing plays an important role in influencing the reader’s interpretation of the event. This study is helpful for readers to understand clearly the real-world applications of framing to win others’ support.
