Framing Analysis

In 1963 Colin Powell served his first tour in south Vietnam. After his injury He received a purple heart and a bronze star for his service. During his second tour he was assigned as an investigator for the My Lai Massacre. He was injured again during a helicopter crash. Despite his injury he was able rescue his fellow soldiers from the wreckage. From this tour he was awarded 11 various decorative medals.

Many stories are written in a positive or negative way to make a event seem in a negative or a positive way. Each news source has a way of tell how an event happened whether it is true or false information. Most of the time a news station hears about an event occurring and tries to be apart of it by telling the story but the source does not always have all the details so it is not credible. Usually by the day after the event occurs is when the media is a little more accurate with the details, but not one hundred percent yet. If one does not check different news sources for the same event to check the informations, the source can mislead the person and give false information. A news station like Fox News believes in personal responsibility and limited government, where ABC News believes in government actions for equal opportunity. With having different view neither source will be exactly the same because both have different ways of writ ring and

MSNBC’s audience are liberals and democrats who care greatly about saving the environment from global warming. Many of the viewers appear to be both in the middle and left wing who are everyday people who were raised in a more progressive era. Meanwhile, viewers of Fox News are diehard conservatives who believe wholeheartedly that climate change is a tactic orchestrated by liberals to take away their political powers. In a sense, it appears as though Fox News appeals to older and predominantly white, rich males who grew up before the progressive era. Fox News expressed their personal testimony more openly, which allows them to deflect the attention of the audience away from the issue, while MSNBC sticks to the topic at hand and supplies a plethora of statistics for their audience. Fox News logos and pathos appeal is more effect than MSNBC because they make statements that disturb viewers peace of minds. However, MSNBC is clearly more effective in winning over their audience due to the highly educated commentators they use to make their point across. It is apparent after the examination of these four transcripts that broadcast networks apply their own bias opinions into a form of current events that is supposed to remain unbiased and

To compare, both articles fell under the category of bias through omission and placement as well as bias by visuals and captions. Both articles only report statements and details that only support one political viewpoint without including a counter-argument from the opposite party. Both articles also use visuals to influence people’s opinion. Marquis included a link to the video titled “Trump’s Wall Makes More Sense Than Dems Want to Believe” which clearly support Trump’s plan to build a wall. Nixon included photos of the wall and caption that stated, “A man this month in Nogales, Ariz., talking to his daughter and her mother, who were standing on the Mexican side of the border fence”(Rodrigo Abd/Associated Press).

Born a son of Jamaican immigrants, educated in the New York public school system and beginning his college education at City College of New York, studying geology, no one would imagine the life this man would lead. This individual progressed to become the 65th United States Secretary of State as well as to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Having tenacity, focus, vision and a desire to win therefore leading to many honored appointments. When you examine his career you see a man that leads his life by holding himself accountable, having that winning spirit, understanding the importance of the people around him throughout my youth each of these qualities are valued in my family. Qualities and value that I hope to draw upon as I progress into my adult life. If I were to meet General Powell , I believe I would be as

According to Newsmax, “The Washington Post has assigned 20 reporters to look into every aspect of Donald Trump’s past as the presumptive GOP nominee seeks to become the next president of the United States, famed Post associate editor, Bob Woodward, said Wednesday.” Woodward is looking into Donald Trump’s real estate deals saying that “The New York real estate world is more complex than the CIA. Look, the job at The Washington Post has to be tell us everything about who the eventual nominee will be in both parties, 15-part, 16-part series, 20-part series, we want to look at every part of their lives and we're never going get the whole story of course but we can get the best attainable.” It was also said that the Post is working to get the essence of Hilary Clinton. Woodward does not believe that Clinton purposely tried to use her private email server to send out classified information. In another article by Newsmax, “Woodward called Hillary Clinton's connections to "pay for play" through the Clinton Foundation and the access she had given when she was secretary of state "corrupt" and something that voters should be troubled by. Yes, it’s corrupt; it’s a scandal,” Woodward told the "Fox News Sunday" panel monitored by Wednesday's presidential debate moderator Wallace, and referencing back Wednesday's

All three sources took either a neutral, minor, or highly biased position where the CBS article, the “Our Families Are Under Attack, So We Rise Up” article, and the “No Release for State Dreamer” article. While it is the essential job for the media to stay neutral, these mass media outlets are the ones that harbor the responsibility for perpetuation of misinformation due to their chosen pieces of research and evidence that they decide to integrate into their articles for all of the media to

The incident was not immediately recognized by the media until two reports who worked for the Washington Post by the names of Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward suspected the story was much deeper than anticipated. While in the middle of their research they discovered several facets that

There were distinct ideological beliefs presented in the articles. MSNBC is very progressive and sees the Democratic party as infallible. In their narrative Republicans are evil, stupid, and racist. If Obama says "jump", MSNBC is already falling off the bridge. CNN tries to present itself as unbiased but fails. It is not an utter failure. At some points the facade of neutrality is believable. But their pro-establishment bias is strong. I felt like they preferred Democrat's; but in a Republican presidence the roles may reverse. Finally Fox News i very conservative and pro-Republican. While CNN and MSNBC treat Obama as a strong leader, Fox contrasts this with depictions of a weak man. Fox was the oppisite extreme of MSNBC. It really just felt

On January 19, 1998 Matt Drudge posted an article accusing Bill Clinton and a young white house intern, whose name was not released until later, having inappropriate sexual relations. At this time drudge was not a reliable source because many of his gossip articles had been proven wrong, but because accusations were already being thrown at Clinton and the white house intern, many media organizations began to grab onto the story and produce more information. “The Drudge Report opened floodgates by making public what had already been widely discussed privately” (Cohen 8). The Tuesday after the “Drudge Report” was released The Washington Post had released a much more accurate story. According to Daniel Cohen on Page 9 of The Impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton, “The Washington post was one of the most respected newspapers in the country; it was not a

Let’s talk about that scandal double-standard. When Hillary had that email scandal recently, Republicans were OUTRAGED. (It could just be that one of the two major presidential candidates was a WOMAN.) It also just could’ve been

So I’m working through an agenda for the Framing training and will be having it as a discussion point for next week’s meeting. Jeff in Curtis had a really great suggestion which I will be doing. His suggestion was for me to spend a half day at each of the location what will be training me. But instead of learning different sections of the framing process to learn the whole process as to each location. Then with the provided training to then use best practices that I learned to build the training video. I think it’s a great idea and I will be moving forward with it.

The fourth video, Fox News, at first glance when it came on and I saw four women and 1 man on the panel I thought for sure that it was going to be one sided in favor of Janay Rice. What I did not expect to hear was Ed Henry stating that Ray Rice was treated unfairly because it was caught on video. Unfairly... Are you kidding me. He was not treated unfairly. He chose to put his hands on his wife and that comes with consequences. I felt Fox News depicted the case fairly, one person felt like the perpetrator was treated unfairly, and they really did not say that much about Janay.

Framing and reframing plays a dynamic role in conflict development. Reframing may cause a shift in the development of the conflict this will affect the conflict management or the resolution of the conflict. Framing is built on assumptions we implement whereas reframing challenges these assumptions to draw alternative solutions.

Additionally, blunting is a good strategy in conversation to soften the blow. I’m sure my dream boss has dealt with many questions and accusations revolving around Dov Charney. Questions and accusations she more often than not, doesn't have the answers to. Instead of trying to defend herself and her reputation in this challenging time, she should learn the ways of softening the blow. She can do this by briefly addressing the problem and accepting responsibility for it. Although Paula did nothing wrong, she is now the face of the company and must accept culpability for any and all actions. If she were to use the principles of sharpening and blunting, she could find herself in a much more pleasant situation.
