Yeah Fred, frames are a big topic for us, many references are found in published article journals.
Here is an excerpt from a section of lit review for paper I co-wrote:
"Framing theory remains one of the most heavily studied subjects in political communication. As an interdisciplinary theory (Tewksbury & Scheufele, 2009), scholars studying framing recognize that it is impossible to include every detail of every news story. Therefore, journalists often engage in framing, or the “process of culling a few elements of perceived reality and assembling a narrative that highlights connections among them to promote a particular interpretation” (Entman, 1993, p. 164). Frames, or groups of “organized symbolic devices that will interact with individual agents’ memory for meaning construction” (Pan & Kosicki, 1993, p. 58), and their construction/effects are the main foci of this body of research."
Robert Entman is a big name that comes up in framing theory.
