English- Miyo Tubridy Framing is a way to communicate with an audience by gathering information and stories together to make it believable appealing instead of them seeing the main point. In this case when we were looking particularly at the Edward Snowden story, I as an audience was impacted. Before I did not know anything about the Edward Snowden story revealing himself as the NSA leak whatsoever. Once I saw NBC, CBS, FOX, and Democracy Now! , I got different perceptions from each. Edward Snowden was a 29 year old who worked for the NSA that exposed the information the NSA was spilling out. He let out information and flew to Hong Kong. Over there he exposed that he was the one who leaked NSA’s information such as e-mails, phone calls, and other sources.
For NBC, there was an aggressive tone. Their claim was that Edward Snowden was guilty because NBC reporters didn’t give him the chance to emphasize and articulate about what led him to revealing himself as the NSA leak. For CBS, there was a neutral tone but it showed mostly the CBS reporter’s thought on the story itself. For FOX, there was a balanced tone because it showed both the pros and cons of Edward Snowden’s actions. For Democracy Now! , the tone was positive about Snowdens point of view because they showed a full interview of him. This gave a perspective from Edward Snowden himself which led the audience to understand more of him. He talked about oppression and how the government shouldn’t tap into people’s information. Out of all these sources I observed, I would say that Democracy Now! , had the most fairest representation. This is because they actually explained the incident and gave his point of view from the interview lead by Glenn Greenward from The Guardian whereas, other sources had reporters thoughts which were both negative and positive at the same time. Therefore, the other new sources only included the newseportesr or officers opinion instead of
