Framing in media refers to how news organisations construct stories to influence audience interpretation. Journalists use techniques like emphasising certain facts, employing stereotypes, or sensationalising events.

This process involves choices about language, images, and the overall narrative structure. The audience should therefore approach news critically, aware of potential biases and manipulations. Social media further complicates framing, with misinformation potentially influencing public opinion.
