Summary
Story frames are always tacit, and who is handed the tacit authority to fill which tacit blanks is a matter of status within journalism. At each descending level of journalism’s hierarchy and each successive link along the chain of information brokerage, from editor to reporter to fixer, the remaining blank frame spaces become narrower, less abstract, and more firmly prescribed by the scripts that surround them.
