Recently the role of "media frames" in the process of making news has become a focus of attention. According to Gitlin (1980), <i>media frames are persistent patterns of cognition, interpretation, and presentation, of selection, emphasis, and exclusion</i>. It is important for us as audience to recognize not only that the news is not "<i>a mirror of society</i>" but also that the news is made through media frames. Besides, we must examine what the media frames are. In this paper, I intend to define and characterize the nature and function of media frames by analyzing the news on "All Five Walks" in the Summer High School Baseball Tournament in 1992.
