Frameeroista

Frameeroista is a Finnish neologism used to describe people who specialize in framing and reframing public discourse, especially in media, politics, and online debate. The word combines the English loanword frame with the Finnish suffix -eroista, a form commonly used in informal coinages to indicate people associated with a practice or field. In practice, frameeroista are discussed in online forums and commentary as individuals who study how issues are presented, how frames influence perception, and how to construct messages aligned with particular narratives. The concept draws on framing theory, agenda-setting, and rhetoric, though it is mostly used descriptively rather than as a formal designation.

Activities and roles of frameeroista often include analyzing news coverage to identify dominant frames, crafting frame-based messaging for campaigns or discussions, and educating others about recognizing framing techniques in everyday media consumption. In some contexts, the term can also label critics who argue that framing can steer public opinion or simplify complex issues.

Reception and debates around frameeroista are mixed. Supporters view framing awareness as essential for media literacy and transparent communication, while critics warn that framing can oversimplify issues, manipulate perception, or obscure nuance and evidence. The term is primarily used in informal Finnish online discourse and does not denote an official profession; its meaning and usage can vary across communities.
