Framing means selecting some aspects of a perceived reality and making them more salient in a communicating text. News frames give us definitions and identify those responsible for an event; make moral judgements; and propose solutions to problems. The analysis of the news frames utilized by four newspapers underlines the fact that in a polarized media environment news frames are highly politicized and the distinction between news frames and official discourse is frequently blurred.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCrisisFramingNews MediaPolarizationRussiaTurkeyArticle33475715Q4Q2298758
