Frames in Groups: Media Discourse on Ukraine Migration from Top Reposts

200 social media posts represent the top 20 most reposted items each month over a 10-month period. The data is annotated with 5 generic and 5 issue-specific frames, such as Conflict and Migration Flows, across four political groups. Author Tomasz Piróg released this dataset under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Compare the prevalence of generic frames like Conflict or Morality across different political groups.
• Analyze the use of issue-specific frames such as Helping Ukrainians or Second World War in migration discourse.
• Identify correlations between political affiliation (e.g., Pro-Government Conservatives vs. Liberal Opposition) and frame selection.
• Study the relationship between a post's repost frequency and the frames it employs.

Strengths

• Contains 200 data points sampled from the most reposted content, indicating high engagement.
• Explicitly defines 10 distinct frames (5 generic, 5 issue-specific) for analysis.
• Covers discourse from four distinct political groups over a 10-month period.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 9.5 KB file size suggests a very limited scope of data.
