Fairness and Media Frames in Conflict Situations

Abstract

    Because of the rising global awareness it is essential that the journalist fraternity value fairness, truth, meticulousness, and objectivity. The 'framing'  ideology has been widely used in the communication field since its inception. The theory threatens the model meaning of journalism through the notion of leeway and unscrupulous drills inside the journalism industry. Empirical research has faulted framing for its ability to shape the thoughts of the readers and making it difficult for those implicated in the stories to rebuild public confidence. So the aim of this paper is provision of a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and implications of framing theory in the recent decades as well to inform the audience how framing theory is a threat to core values of journalism.
