Media Framing Effects on Public Perception of Immigration Policy

Quick fact

Studies have shown that when a news story about immigration is framed as an individual hardship (episodic framing), viewers are more likely to support the immigrant, while a frame that emphasizes broad national impact (thematic framing) can increase support for restrictive policies.

Why this is interesting

Whenever you read a story about immigration, the specific words, images, and examples chosen by journalists may be nudging your opinion in a particular direction—even without you noticing.
