Good Frames, Bad Frames

Same Story, Different Lens
Former Chicago defender executive director Roland Martin provides an illustration of framing
differences in black and mainstream newspapers in an August 16, 2005, article:

You would have read this one line at the end of their Aug. 9 news briefs: died: John H. Johnson, 87,
publisher of Ebony and Jet magazines, in Chicago. The man [Johnson] spent 60 years building a
business from $500 to $500 million, donated personally and through his companies more than $100
million and all he could merit in the one national newspaper dedicated to business is one funky line?
Yet, if you read the Chicago Defender, you would have read 16 separate stories, columns, editorials,
and seen countless pictorials celebrating his life. Same story. Different set of eyes. Different mission.
Different result. In the words of the founders of the first black newspaper, Freedom’s Journal, we
must plead our own cause (p. 3).
