Weresearched the use of photojournalistic frames. In the theoretical framework we haveadopted as referencesV. Flusser, J. Aumont, M. Martin, G. Deleuze. As for the methodological procedures, we've seeked to experience a spontaneous contactwith the essay, andafterwards we aimed to define some reading strategies: identify framesand discover the functions of journalistic significance. These frames feature expressive and informative content, which constitute its own language, through their own repertoire as also their self-related rules of combination and use.
