摘要：The academic literature on the topic of framing has known a flourishing development inthe last two decades. Scholars in sociology (Gitlin, 1980), mass communication (Entman,1993; Gamson & Modigliani, 1989), political communication (De Vreese, 2005; Semetko &Boomgaarden, 2007) and public relations (Dan & Ihlen, 2011) consider the news framingprocess as a challenging research topic, seeking to understand what framing is and how fram-ing works.A very interesting book on this topic, entitled Doing News Framing Analysis: Empiricaland Theoretical Perspectives, by Paul D'Angelo and Jim A. Kuypers, represents a valuablework within the growing scientific area of study in framing. Although the academic litera-ture shows a great amount of data and information related to framing, it stresses a lack of con-sistency in how authors define and apply the concept of frame. Doing News Framing Analysisbrings a great contribution in this respect, being one of the most influential books in the field,which makes some clear conceptual clarifications about the notion of framing. Besides its freshtheoretical dimension, the book also provides particularly useful information concerning theempirical perspective of news framing analysis, which helps researchers to better understandand develop news framing analysis.
