Note: Percentages are averages of core newspaper (LAT, NYT, WP in U.S.; LM, LF, and Libération) and television (ABC, CBS, NBC in U.S.; France 2 and TF1 in France) news packages mentioning a given frame. Frame categories are not mutually exclusive: percentages across rows may add up to more than 100 because a news package may contain multiple frames. Due to rounding, column percentages may not add up exactly to totals/averages.

*To facilitate comparison with the 1970s French data that only includes Le Monde and Le Figaro, the 1970s U.S. figure in parentheses is the average of the binary differences between the three U.S. core newspapers and the total U.S. figure in parentheses represents the adjusted average. Note: Frame categories are not mutually exclusive: percentages across rows may add up to more than 100 because a news package may contain multiple frames.
