Abstract:
|
This paper discusses how the behaviors, roles, and standards of mainstream journalism are framed in political campaign news and empirically examines applicability and accessibility effects of these frames on individuals’ thoughts and opinions of the news media. Following previous work on framing in campaign news, we posited that journalists frame the press in three ways, called conduit, strategy, and accountability. Participants in a between-subjects experiment were exposed to a campaign story about an exemplar ‘character issue’ from the 1992 primary elections containing these frames. Regarding applicability effects, each frame activated frame-related thoughts. In addition, subjects exposed to the strategy press frame interpreted the press as being significantly more negative than individuals exposed to the conduit or accountability frame; subjects exposed to the accountability press frame interpreted the press as having higher quality than individuals exposed to the conduit or strategy frame. Regarding accessibility effects, only the accountability press frame prompted individuals to access attitudes about news performance to form opinions about negativity and quality. |
