show the framing techniques (4) ↓ collapse ↑
framing by emphasis: Describes the fire as 'burning out of control' without noting ongoing response efforts mentioned elsewhere, emphasizing danger over management.
“a fire that has been burning out of control for 11 days”
fear appeal: Uses 'fears the fire is heading for the village' to evoke urgency and danger.
“amid fears the fire is heading for the village”
missing historical context: Mentions the fire's size and smoke reach but omits context about typical fire behavior in the region or comparative scale.
“It covered an area of about 6 sq km of heather and small trees at its height”
glittering generalities: Uses vague, positive descriptors like 'instrumental' and 'expertise' without specifying how these contributions made a difference.
“Their expertise, local knowledge and support have been instrumental”
