In February 2012, the Spanish Government approved an aggressive labor reform. Many political agents committed to emphasis framing, highlighting certain aspects of the topic to persuade their publics with their definitions of the situation. Some generic frames suggested an individualistic approach to the labor market, while some others called for collective action. Following the cascading activation model, this research attempted to identify the flows of frames from the elites to the media outfits. A content analysis was conducted with the materials disseminated in February 2012 by the government, the two main Spanish unions, the confederation of employers, and four print media. Differences and similarities were found through bivariate analyses between the categories of the codebook. Although clear cascades emerged from the unions to the online daily Público.es, and from the government to Larazón.es, generally the media frame building processes did not limit to just depicting the frames of an elite.

2012 年 2 月，西班牙政府批准了一项激进的劳工改革。许多政治代理人致力于强调框架，突出主题的某些方面，以说服他们的公众对情况的定义。一些通用框架建议对劳动力市场采取个人主义的方法，而另一些则呼吁采取集体行动。遵循级联激活模型，本研究试图确定从精英到媒体机构的框架流。对 2012 年 2 月政府、两个主要西班牙工会、雇主联合会和四家印刷媒体分发的材料进行了内容分析。通过码本类别之间的双变量分析发现了差异和相似之处。Público.es，从政府到Larazón.es，一般来说，媒体框架构建过程不仅限于描绘精英的框架。
