What does FrameWright mean?
A frame is everything around a message that determines how the message is received and understood.
Take, for example, the term “government regulation.” Depending on who is talking (or listening), “government regulation” could mean “essential protections for workers and the environment” or “burdensome rules which are costly to businesses.”
A wright is a craftsman, as in wheelwright or playwright.
FrameWright is devoted to the proposition that the most effective communication involves not simply great writing. The most effective communication involves great writing that is created with a deep understanding of the intended audience – its interests and biases, unique circumstances and blindspots, outlook and aspirations.
