Fortunato, John A.
New Jersey Journal of Communication, v9 n2 p166-81 Fall 2001
Identifies and analyzes the exposure and portrayal framing methods that are utilized by the National Basketball Association (NBA). Notes that key informant interviews provide insight into the exposure framing method and reveal two portrayal instruments: cameras and announcers; and three framing strategies: depicting the NBA as a team game, personalizing players, and developing storylines.
