Media Agendas and Framing in Action: Compare and contrast the Coverage of a Scandal involving a Celebrity Person or Family
Essay: Define media agenda-setting and media framing concepts. They are covered in your text. Then apply these two concepts of media agenda setting and framing to the coverage of a "news event." Here are the options. Find multiple sources that share a current or recent "news event" related to either (i) the Office of the President, The Supreme Court, or US Congress, or (ii) a Celebrity Scandal. Multiple sources can be a newspaper, social media, or TV newscasts. For example, you can compare and contrast the media agendas and framing of the news events from two newscasts.
