In this episode on FRAMED, Dr. Julie Hunt examines how one of the most iconic moments in American history -- the 1963 March on Washington -- was not just a protest, but a masterclass in communication. Behind the speeches and songs was an intentional strategy: to frame the movement through dignity, unity, and moral clarity. This episode explores how images, words, and actions converged to shape a national conscience.

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. This episode of Framed examines how media, politics, and Jackie Kennedy’s “Camelot” narrative shaped the way America remembers that day — and how frame analysis helps us see history not just as it happened, but as it was told.

This is my very first episode of Framed. It's a rough cut -- the final polish will come with future episodes as I refine my editing and production.

In this episode, I introduce the series and explore Erving Goffman's ideas of framing -- the ways we interpret the world around us, whether through physical experience (like weather) or sociological events (like politics).

When tragedy strikes, the face are often simple -- but the meaning is anything but.

In this episode of Framed, Dr. Julie Hunt explores how political assassinations are framed in communication. Through the recent case of Charlie Kirk being assassinated, we examine briefly how media, leaders, and everyday people construct very different stories around the same event. Is it a tragedy of violence? A story of martyrdom? A cautionary tale about division?

By looking at how frames shape out understanding, we uncover why communication matters most in moments of crisis.

Every message you hear is framed. Headlines, speeches, every everyday conversations shape the way we see the world -- not by accident, but by design.

I'm Dr. Julie Hunt, a communication scholar, teacher, and former U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representative staffer with more than 30 years of experience studying how messages work. In Framed, I uncover the hidden forces behind communication -- persuasion, silence, nonverbal cues, storytelling, and media framing -- and show how they influence what we believe, who we trust, and how we connect.

Through stories from politics, education, and everyday life, Framed makes communication theory accessible, engaging, and deeply relevant.
