Summary Introduction

Introduction

“Framing an issue” is a term that refers to the way information is presented to an audience. If someone wants to make something look or sound good, they will frame it in such a way that it sounds appealing. The same is true if they want to encourage others to view something negatively. For example, if parents want their child to attend college, it is likely they will express positive images of college to their child. Likewise, TV shows about college life are likely to be filled with high amounts of entertainment since that is the purpose of a TV show.
