  Framing and priming: go hand in hand
As I was getting ready for school, I was amazed to see what I witnessed on television. A morning program was talking about a new campaign for a rehabilitation center. The center is using an ad that says, "Don't Die Lindsay."

This made me realize that the power of priming goes hand in hand with the power of framing. It's all about what "effect" can reach us mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually. It seems that with the world of media, whether it is advertising, television, film, radio or print, no boundaries exist.

Nowadays, it does appear that the intention with the media (and this includes all mediums) "everything goes." There doesn't appear to be any regard in how we affect others as long as our message is being effective.
