“…Frame alignment thus captures the dynamic, evolutionary nature of phenomena as frames of actors interacting with each other result in mutual borrowing, convergence, and eventual alignment (van der Meer et al, 2014). In communication about crises, different actors tend to align frames to resolve conflicting understandings of crises, co-construct their crisis-related experiences, and coordinate critical measures in response (Zhao & Oh, 2021).…”

“…During public health crises, framing allows organizations such as public health agencies, associations, and corporations to define situations and set the stage for public debate (Liu & Kim, 2011; Zhao & Oh, 2021). The literature focuses on how elite media such as legacy media or government media use discrete frames during crises (J.…”

“…First, traditional framing research focused on how audiences reacted to a discrete frame advocated by an elite actor (Borah, 2011). Recent scholars have questioned the external validity of such experimental framing research, as individuals typically consume multiple or even competitive frames simultaneously in reality (Nisbet et al, 2013; Zhao & Oh, 2021). Previous studies have shown that the interrelationships between different messages can amplify or undermine the effectiveness of a certain frame (Anthony et al, 2013; Nisbet et al, 2013).…”

Networked framing focuses on how the public becomes gatekeepers on social media. To unpack the dynamics of networked framing, we conducted an automated frame analysis to identify the shift of frame structures of government media ( N = 12,090) and the public ( N = 1.49 million) on Weibo during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found a moderate level of frame alignment between government media and the public, with high divergence observed during the pandemic’s initial stage. The public challenged government media frames by deploying unique frame functions and creating new frames, but their frame network was fragmented relative to that of government media, which constructed a cohesive network of frames to enhance discursive control.

“…Previous studies have found that organizational size may be a factor in tie formation (Zhao & Oh, 2021). Thus, we included two variables to account for size-related relationships based on Damanpour’s (1992) conceptualization of organizational size: number of employees and size of assets.…”

With the growing number of opioid-related deaths, many local governments are assembling collaborations with the goal of providing timely and tangible responses to the overdose epidemic. Although the purpose of such collaborations is to bring multi-sector stakeholders together to provide policy recommendations, the inclusion of organizations with divergent interests and differing levels of power can open the collaboration to capture by special interests. In this article, we use a mixed-method design to: a) investigate the network structure of a collaboration and b) identify the managerial strategies used to facilitate participation by diverse actors within a cross-sector task force convened to regulate sober living facilities.

“…But it is not known whether influential types affect the use of responsibility and topic frames, as most studies examined a single case of crisis that involves limited types of influentials like news media. Zhao and Oh (2021) found that similar kinds of organizations, including companies and nonprofit organizations but not government agencies, tend to adopt similar frames in the opioid crisis. Yet, in different crises, organizations and individuals may prefer distinct frames to contextualize available information in a way favorable to them (Hallahan, 1999).…”

Social media influentials play key roles in information creation and impact people’s crisis interpretations and behavioral intentions. Applying a multilevel perspective, this study examined how various social media influentials’ frame building was affected by crisis clusters and message characteristics. Social media influentials’ tweets were extracted from over a million tweets from eight crises. A random sample of 2,000 tweets was analyzed by content analysis. The results showed that social media influentials’ use of responsibility and topic frames was affected by both crisis-level factors (i.e., crisis origin and organization type) and message-level factors (i.e., communicative functions and types of influentials). These findings support the importance to understand the contextual factors that condition influentials' frame building on social media.
