• Journalists as interpretive community (Zelizer, 1993)
• Frames as patterns of interpretation and presentation (Gitlin 1980)
• Three types of frames:
− Generic frames: interpretations across topics (Semetko and Valkenburg, 2000)
− Issue-specific frames: problem definitions on a specific topic (Entman 1993)
− Master frames: concepts that integrate issue-specific frames (Benford and Snow 1992)
• From “agenda-setting” and “agenda-sending” (Blumler and Gurevitch, 1995) to frame-setting and frame-sending
