TL;DR: A process model of framing is developed, identifying four key processes that should be addressed in future research: frame building, frame setting, individual-level processes of framing, and a feedback loop from audiences to journalists.

TL;DR: A recent special issue of the Journal of Communication is devoted to theoretical explanations of news framing, agenda setting, and priming effects as mentioned in this paper, which examines if and how the three models are related and what potential relationships between them tell theorists and researchers about the effects of mass media.

TL;DR: This article revisited agenda-setting, priming, and framing as distinctively different approaches to effects of political communication and argued against more recent attempts to subsume all three approaches under the broad concept of agenda setting and for a more careful explication of the concepts and of their theoretical premises and roots in social psychology and political psychology.

TL;DR: This paper examined the role of community integration and mass and interpersonal communication in predicting two types of local political participation; more conventional, "institutionalized" acts of participation and less traditional acts of participating and speaking out in a forum.

TL;DR: Research from the social sciences on how the public makes sense of and participates in societal decisions about science and technology is reviewed, offering a set of detailed recommendations for improved public engagement efforts on the part of scientists and their organizations.
