Abstract:
|
This research examines the role journalists play in framing a highly controversial issue during a national election year. Media as a linkage institution is much like political parties and interest groups because it provides political information. This research investigates the media effect , “framing,” and examines the extent to which journalists/editors use their roles to act as “political activists”. This research focuses on articles written about the Michigan School Voucher Proposal 00-1. The proposal failed on November 7, 2000 a national election year, although little is known about how this issue was framed for voters prior to the election. Three aspects of interpretive framing were explored using Thomas E. Patterson’s definition of interpretive style of reporting. These aspects were: Analyzing, Explaining, and Evaluating. Descriptive reporting was also compared to interpretive reporting within and between both Detroit’s largest newspapers The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press. Among the three types of interpretation used by reporters (analyzing, explaining, and evaluating) analyzing was used least by reporters. This finding was important because it supported Patterson's (2000) conjecture regarding “How soft news and critical journalism are shrinking the new audience.” identified (as determined by viewing online photographs). |
