תקציר	Q-sort is the data-collection technique at the heart of Q methodology, in which participants rank-order a set of statements or stimuli along a forced distribution (typically from 'most agree' to 'most disagree') to express their subjective point of view. In communication research it is used to uncover the shared patterns of opinion, framing, or media interpretation that exist within an audience, by factor-analyzing how people sort rather than how they score isolated items.	Framing analysis is a communication research method for studying how messages select certain aspects of a perceived reality and make them more salient — promoting a particular problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and treatment recommendation. Building on Robert Entman's influential 1993 synthesis, it moves beyond counting what is present to reconstructing the organizing ideas, or frames, that give media coverage its meaning and persuasive shape.
