本文概述了研究新闻媒体构建有争议问题的方式的严格方法。该方法基于 VBPro 系列计算机程序进行内容分析。对基于关键术语共现的多维缩放的 VBPro 映射程序的输出进行聚类分析，以辨别文本中可以明确归因于竞争利益相关者的框架或观点。这些框架可用于调查有关新闻报道的命题。一个例子是对美联社从 1982 年开始的 11 年间发表的 1,465 篇关于湿地的文章进行的研究。结果表明，该方法提供了一种客观的方法来调查利益相关者对新闻的影响以及跨时间框架的变化模式。
This article outlines a rigorous method for studying the ways that news media frame contentious issues. The method is based on the VBPro family of computer programs for content analysis. Output from the VBPro mapping program for multidimensional scaling based on co-occurence of key terms is cluster analyzed to discern the frames or points of view in texts that can unambiguously be attributed to competing stakeholders. These frames can be used to investigate propositions about news stories. An example is presented from a study of 1,465 Associated Press articles on wetlands dispatched across an 11-year period beginning in 1982. The results demonstrate that the method provides an objective means of investigating stakeholder influence on news and patterns of change in frames across time.
