Prototype

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter demonstrates the effectiveness of person-oriented framing analysis (PFA) by implementing and evaluating a prototypical system for bias identification and communication. In the single-blind setting of the evaluation, only the PFA prototype consistently, significantly, and most strongly increased respondents’ bias-awareness, i.e., respondents’ motivation and capabilities to contrast news coverage. The study results and a qualitative analysis indicate that a reason for the improved bias-awareness is that the frames identified by PFA are meaningful and indeed present in person-centric news coverage. In contrast, and confirming the findings of Chap. 2, the most effective baselines only facilitate the visibility of potential frames.
