• Abstract: News media structure their reporting of events or issues using certain perspectives. When describing an incident involving gun violence, for example, some journalists may focus on mental health or gun regulation, while others may emphasize the discussion of gun rights. Such perspectives are called \say{frames} in communication research. We study, for the first time, the value of combining lead images and their contextual information with text to identify the frame of a given news article. We observe that using multiple modes of information(article- and image-derived features) improves prediction of news frames over any single mode of information when the images are relevant to the frames of the headlines. We also observe that frame image relevance is related to the ease of conveying frames via images, which we call frame concreteness. Additionally, we release the first multimodal news framing dataset related to gun violence in the U.S., curated and annotated by communication researchers. The dataset will allow researchers to further examine the use of multiple information modalities for studying media framing.

  We argue that to explain framing devices we have to look at the way narratives are constructed. We show that our framework can be used to analyze framing in U.S. news for two different domains: immigration and gun control.

  We investigate how the framing of health-related topics, such as COVID-19 and other diseases, differs between conspiracy and mainstream websites. We find that health-related narratives in conspiracy media are predominantly framed in terms of beliefs, while mainstream media tend to present them in terms of science.

  This paper investigates the challenges of building scalable NLP systems for discovering patterns of media selection biases directly from news content in massive-scale news corpora. We show the capabilities of the framework through a case study on NELA-2020, a corpus of 1.8M news articles in English from 519 news sources worldwide.

We introduce the Misinfo Belief Frames (MBF) corpus, a dataset of 66k inferences over 23.5k headlines. Our results using large-scale language modeling to predict misinformation frames show that machine-generated inferences can influence readers' trust in news headlines.

  Short-form video social media shifts away from the traditional media paradigm by telling the audience a dynamic story to attract their attention. In particular, different combinations of everyday objects can be employed to represent a unique scene that is both interesting and understandable. Offered by the same company, TikTok and Douyin are popular examples of such new media that has become popular in recent years. The hypothesis that they express cultural differences together with media fashion and social idiosyncrasy is the primary target of our research.

  We develop a media frame classifier to analyze the media frames of 1.5 million New York Times articles published from 2000 to 2017. We show that short-term frame abundance closely corresponds to major events, while there also exist several long-term trends. As a case study, we delve into the framing of mass shootings, revealing three major framing patterns.
