- Who is the Framing the News poster for?
- Framing the News belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning media theory can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Framing the News poster?
- When two outlets report identical facts and readers reach opposite conclusions. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Framing the News belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Framing the News?
- Agenda-Setting, Cultivation and Encoding & Decoding sit alongside Framing the News in the Communications & Media section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Agenda-SettingCultivationEncoding & Decoding
- Is the Framing the News poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Framing the News downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Communications & Media section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Framing the News poster print at?
- Framing the News is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Framing the News loses nothing.Printing guide
