Describe the difference between framing and spin. Which is potentially more harmful to mediated citizens?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Framing is the practice of telling a story in a way that emphasizes some details as a way to signal what is important and what to pay attention to. Spin, by contrast, is when certain bits of information are selected and an interpretation is made from them to make something sound like something else. Since spin can generally result in a misleading narrative, it is potentially harmful to mediated citizens.
