Abstract

This paper identifies the frames television news used to interpret the 1988 Canadian election. Leadership and the horserace dominated. The question newsworkers set out to answer was a strategic one: “Who will win and why?” The Conservatives’ assumptions about the Free Trade Agreement were embedded into news coverage.
