3.0 Critical Analysis
First of all, based on the research from Kalvas , et al. (2012), they are argued
that the framing process creates the conditions for the agenda-setting
process. Besides, McCombs and Shaw (1993) were also the first to try
connecting the theory of agenda-setting and framing. They are assumed that
the news carries the information about an issue in agenda-setting theory.
Besides, the agenda setting theory is influencing the readers in how they
understand or evaluate the information which offered by the media (Michael,
2011). Meanwhile, the news emphasizes some attributes of the issue in
framing theory (McCombs & Shaw, 1993). And the framing theory is providing
a fact of the story or a frame of reference and also interpretation on that
particular issue or news (Claes, 2005). For example, the media applied
agenda setting theory to carries the information about that particular issue or
news but not to prove the particular issue or news and the framing theory to
emphasizes or conceals certain attributes or aspects of the issue or news in
order to influence or lead the audiences perceptions and thoughts to
understand the information that provided by the media in a subliminal way.
Therefore, the framing of news and agenda setting theory has applied in
various issues of the mass media such as the printed media like newspaper
and magazine, broadcasting media like television and online media like
Internet.
