La presencia del framing en los artículos publicados en revistas hispanoamericanas de comunicación indexadas en Scopus

Abstract

The importance of the framing theory in the dynamic field of communication is indisputable since it has been and is one of the most used in academic research. Given its relevance, it seems necessary to analyze in depth the presence and use that scholars make of it as a tool to understand media reality. To accomplish this objective, a content analysis was carried out on a sample of 104 articles published in the main Scopus journals in the field in the last decade, for the period between 2007 and 2016. In light of the results, Spanish American research on framing does not depart from international production guidelines: great empirical applicability, continuity in research subject matters, methodological conservatism and the paradigm's acquisition of status.
