Reporters impose their internalized frameworks on the events they cover.

Evidence

Robert Darnton has described these matters very engagingly in his essay “Writing News and Telling Stories,” so much so that he makes us acutely sensitive not only to the reporter’s working reality but to such things as “the symbiosis as well as antagonisms that grow up between a reporter and his sources,” the pressures of “standardizing and stereotyping,” and the way in which reporters “bring more to the events they cover than they take away from them.” — Edward W. Said, Covering Islam, 181
