Preferred term

risk and news  

Definition

  • Risk is a “news frame” that highlights dangers, responsible parties, and likely victims. In political communications researcher Robert Entman's well-known definition, “[t]o frame is to select some aspects of a perceived reality and make them more salient in a communicating text, in such a way as to promote a particular problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and/or treatment recommendation.” Almost any subject can be reported as risk news.
