The power of framing - issue contents (30.1)
Article
In this issue of the Progressive Review we ask: Which framing narratives are influencing the public? Who is doing the framing and whose interests are at stake? When are they doing it? How are the right using framing? How can progressives utilise it as a tool for social change? What are the limitations of framing? What does it mean for questions of objectivity? Our contributors tackle these questions and more head on.
