Word/Image News Analysis

Deconstruct a breaking news story that has received considerable coverage on the local/global TV stations to comment on which types of
messages you find to have been encoded and note possible variations that can take place in its decoding. Pay close attention to verbal, visual and
textual cues that could have an impact on how the narrative is interpreted. Please include a link with your analysis that will guide the reader to the
primary source of investigation. The assignment should be approximately 800-1000 words in length. Make use of at least two scholarly sources.
The focus of the assignment will be on your interpretation of possible framing techniques that have gone into the encoding process of the
coverage. Further details will be posted on the announcement section in due course. Note that what is meant is for you to look at a news clip that
runs approximately 1-3 minutes and to analyze aspects of framing. You can look at the camera angles used as well as their implications; the words
chosen and what they entail and look at a combination of the two to highlight various aspects of agenda-setting, framing and priming.
