Interesting approach to perceiving communication strategies was proposed by Ewa Nowak-Teter, who in her article Fear and Fun as Communication Strategies in TV News. The Interrelations of Emotional Frames and Topics conceptualizes 'fear’ and 'fun’ as 'media emotions’ integrated within the dominant communication strategy, understood as an 'entertainment continuum’. This continuum is organized by fun on the one hand and fear on the other. The author verifies the assumption that the dominant communication perspective used by the information media is determined mainly by the framework related to providing entertainment and to arousing fear.
