Since the incorporation into the studies of Journalism by Gaye Tuchman, the concept of framing, borrowed from Erving Goffman, has been useful to understand the ways in which journalism makes intelligible events processed in news narratives. More than an operational concept, framework is also a broad term to clarify the ways in which journalism is related to social actors. However, the analytical possibilities of the concept have some limiting interpretations, existing since the appropriation of Tuchman of this concept as well as difficulties posed by how Goffman deals with the concept of "primary framework", which is central to the concept of framing.
