Document Summary

Both of these passages from magazine articles discuss the implications of domestic surveillance activities by us government agencies. There are differences- such as emphasis of civil liberties or national security. Two different common targets of government scrutiny: activist groups and arab groups. Government surveillance of us citizens has reached unprecedented levels. Bank transactions and email communications are also being monitored. How people respond (either opposing or favoring) is based on how the news media frame this issue and the ways they depict implications and particular avenues of action. Research is based on two large experimental studies examining the effects of news stories about government surveillance of terrorists under the auspices of the usa patriot act. Episodic vs thematic, ethical vs material, strategy vs policy. Framing- how messages, based on certain patterns of emphasis and exclusion, can structure the thinking of people who encounter them. Should attend what is in the frame and ignore what is outside it.
