Homework: Framing Theory

We learned about framing theory. Our news media tends to frame the same issues in very different ways. In this activity you will examine the different frames used by two different news organizations to discuss a similar topic.

Standard expectations: As with every homework in this class, be sure to respond to the following questions in your own words and succinctly (in as few words as possible).
