“…While substantial research have examined collective action framing in traditional media (El-Mahdi, 2009;Johnston and Noakes, 2005;Sanberg, 2006;Sivek, 2008), few studies have examined protest framing on blogs and social media (Harlow, 2012;Pu and Scanlan, 2012;Ward and Ostrom, 2006). Researchers of online protest framing argue that effective frames can rally thousands of supporters and media attention to exert influence on organizations or policies under target (Ward and Ostrom, 2006).…”

“…In the United States and elsewhere, this genre of magazines has long invigorated political movements and helped identify, form, and mobilize communities. In the United States, examples include National Review, which significantly aided the development of the twentieth-century conservative movement by providing a coherent paradigm for movement aspirants (Sivek 2008). The Progressive magazine, founded in 1909, is another long-lived magazine, connecting "academic and public traditions in dissent against the mainstream" (Buhle 1986).…”

This study offers a content analysis of Twitter activity by 16 American political opinion magazines during the month before the 2012 presidential election. The study attempts to operationalize aspects of tweets that may contribute to frame alignment processes and mobilization among Twitter users. The analysis identifies these components and examines how political magazines' Twitter activity may demonstrate aspects of this process. These magazines must consider both the normative goal of achieving specific political gains by mobilizing readers and the pragmatic goal of remaining sustainable as publishing enterprises. The degree to which their Twitter usage reflects frame alignment processes may not only reinforce political mobilization, but also affect the longevity of their publications. This analysis offers practical and theoretical insights into the changing role of political magazines in an increasingly digital era of political engagement.

“…Fillmore's (1977) linguistically based theory of framing was developed shortly after and focused on how words can activate or evoke a semantic frame. Since that time, frame analysis has become interdisciplinary and been applied widely in social movement and media studies research (Boykoff, 2006;Entman, 1993;Gamson & Meyer, 1996;Sivek, 2008;Snow & Benford, 1988, 1992. Scholars such as Altheide (1996Altheide ( , 1997 have studied how the framing process is related to communication format (organization, timing, and style of a program), themes (parts of the storytelling process that are recognizable to an audience), discourse (a way of discussing an issue), and frames (a boundary for discussing an issue or event).…”

This research examines the framing of health care and immigration policy debates by high profile cable television (TV) pundits on FOX News and MSNBC. The study uses an interpretive framework to apply Lakoff’s (2006) conceptualization of “freedom” as a contested idea within political discourse in the United States. Qualitative content analysis was used to examine 322 TV transcripts. Findings indicate that in both the health care debates of 2009 and immigration debates of 2010, conservative and progressive cable TV pundits overtly drew on deep frames that produced inherently contradictory conceptualizations of “freedom” in political discourse. Conservatives framed government health care as an intrusion on personal freedom, yet applauded government intervention on the issue of immigration in the name of security, whereas progressives framed access to health care as security for the greater good, while viewing immigration legislation as racial profiling and a violation of personal freedom. Employing a qualitative approach to the study of cable TV pundits provides insight into how framing processes are communicated and reinforced in the midst of political debate.
