New Publication: A look at Frame Building in a Battleground State in the 2012 Presidential Election

Journalism and Mass Communications Quarterly has been kind enough to accept my latest research work for publication. Dien Anshari and I made use of Robert M. Entman’s concept of “content bias” to explore the Obama campaign’s frame-building effort in Ohio in late spring and summer of the 2012 race. Our key finding suggests the president’s team managed to increase use of the vulture capitalist frame in Ohio newspaper coverage of Republican Mitt Romney during that time period. More details — and a link — coming soon.
