11. CONCLUSIONS
• RQ3 - what definition is given to the Framing Theory from the localized articles?
"framing recognizes the ability of a text to define a situation or issue and
establish the terms of the debate" (Mercado, 2011)
“The theory of framing is based on the ability of the media, with its way of
narrating reality, to determine the public agenda and to offer a way of
interpreting current issues. It is the frame of reference that is present implicitly
in the story” (Pou and Sahuquillo, 2016)
• RQ4- What elements accompany the Framing Theory?
A fundamental element is the framework. From the point of view of the issuer:
is "the way in which certain aspects of a text are treated“. From the poinr of
view of the receiver, it will configure interpretation frameworks that are very
conditioned by the message received and how it is interpreted. (Humanes, 2012)
