institutional framing

Institutional framing refers to the way organizations, institutions, or systems shape how issues are understood, approached, and addressed. It involves set of norms, language, and priorities that influence the perspective taken on a problem or topic. This framing guides decision-making, policy development, and public perception by emphasizing certain aspects over others, thus framing what is considered important and legitimate. Essentially, institutional framing helps determine how society understands and responds to specific issues through the lens of established structures and practices.
