Framing vs Darstellung

presentation / portrayal

'Darstellung' and 'Framing' can both have to do with how a topic is presented. 'Darstellung' is the general word for the way something is shown or described. 'Framing' is more specific: it means that a topic is placed within a particular interpretive frame through certain words, images, or emphases. This influences how people understand the topic. The words can be confused because every instance of framing is also a kind of presentation. But not every presentation is framing. 'Framing' is especially appropriate when the effect on opinion or perception is important.
