Framing in the Presence of Supporting Data: A Case Study in U.S. Economic News (2024.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a lack of objective measures to evaluate editorial choices makes research difficult . a computational framework is proposed to analyze newsworthy topics with objective measures . |
| Approach: | They propose a computational framework to analyze editorial choices in newsworthy topics . they focus on the economy because economic indicators provide a relatively easy way to determine selection and framing . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework analyzes editorial choices on newsworthy topics . it finds that there are topics where objective measures exist in the form of supporting data . |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to modeling media narratives miss subtle narrative patterns through coarse-grained analysis or require domain-specific taxonomies that limit scalability. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for inducing rich narrative schemas by jointly modeling events and characters via structured clustering. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework produces explainable narrative schemas that align with established framing theory while scaling to large corpora without exhaustive manual annotation. |
