New frames

Hi,

I have some difficulty in understanding the following entences. Could anyone give me a hand?

1. The subject of often intense negotiation between journalists and their editors, as well as their sources, news frames help to render an infinity of noticeable details into practicable repertoires.

2. The invocation of a news frame is not to be viewed as a means to preclude the encoding of information which might explicit politicize the seemingly impartial definitions of social reality of offer.

Thanks a lot.

I'm here to offer this bit of condolence: I am a native English speaker, a professional writer, former teacher of English, author of books and articles - and those two sentences are horrendous. I find them impenetrable; the author should be punished.

Yes, he should have his poetic licence withdrawn!
Within the organisation - TV or the press - there seems to be an agreed protocol on how to present the news called the news frame. Can anyone offer further advice?
