NewsFrames Update
Thanks to help from some early GV adopters, we’ve made significant progress with NewsFrames, including refining both the technology of the platform, and our mission as a community.
So… Thank you!
The NewsFrames Team really want to thank everyone who have given input and spent time scratching their heads, exploring, and translating with us as we’ve reinvented things time and time again.
You can now see some of these first examples of our NewsFrames stories dealing with the themes of: representation in the media, credibility and culture below, which “prove the concept” — see below.
Join Us on Slack
This is just the beginning for NewsFrames. We now have a stable starting point,and will still grow, change, and develop.
So, to hear more directly from you, about how we should grow or what we should think about, we are experimenting with day-to-day communications now in Slack.
On Slack, you can:
- Ask about what we as a community could explore with the data we have
- Hear or share opportunities to dig into framing issues or data
- Figure out how to investigate a topic using NewsFrames with others
Join in, even if you just want to listen to our chatter. But we hope you add to it, and help us go where we need to.
Contact anyone on the NewsFrames team [1] member to get a Slack account if you don’t already have one.
We hope to see you there!

“We need to find different ways to respond to media” (Rising Frames / Reframed Stories)
Juan Diego Andrango, a collaborator at the Confederation of the Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) in Quito, Ecuador, has contributed our latest Rising Frames investigation.
Reframed Stories asks people to respond to dominant themes in news coverage about themselves and the issues that affect them. The stories center on the reflections of persons who are more often represented by others than by themselves in media.
