Framing Public Life by Stephen D Reese

Framing Public Life by Stephen D Reese

This distinctive volume offers a thorough examination of the ways in which meaning comes to be shaped. Editors Stephen Reese, Oscar Gandy, and August Grant employ an interdisciplinary approach to the study of conceptualizing and examining media. They illustrate how texts and those who provide them powerfully shape, or "frame," our social worlds and thus affect our public life. Embracing qualitative and quantitative, visual and verbal, and psychological and sociological perspectives, this book helps media consumers develop a multi-faceted understanding of media power, especially in the realm of news and public affairs.

"Reese, Gandy, and Grant have done a wonderful job of putting together a selection of chapters that fit nicely into three basic themes: theoretical and methodological issues, concerning framing, case studies of framing, and framing within new media...I clearly think this is a book worth reading if you are interested in framing effects in the media....very strong on sociological approaches to framing."
—Journal of Communication

"The case-study section is particularly rich in topics and approaches...and its studies would serve as a fruitful point of departure for many theoretical and methodological discussions....a much-needed compilation of the current state of communication's thought regarding framing.....The book would be an excellent addition to graduate theory-building courses, and it should be on the bookshelf of anyone who considers him- or herself a framing scholar."
—Public Opinion Quarterly

"Reese's wide-ranging and provocative introductory overview offers a definition of framing that emphasizes the organizing and structuring functions and the shared, persistent, and symbolic character of frames....has much to offer scholars and graduate students in political and mass communication, and in other fields as well."
—Political Communication
