In a democratic society where the public have the prerogative to exercise their choices and rights, media serve as a primary source of information for the public. The way in which political issues are framed and presented can influence how the public perceives and evaluates the events. Media framing plays a crucial aspect that influences public opinion, guide discussions, and shape the narrative surrounding political issues. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of media framing and politics with a visualization of the global mapping research trends results using RStudio 4.3.2 and Biblioshiny. A textual query on Scopus database was performed, retrieving 795 scholarly publications from 1985 to 2024. The findings reveal a rising trend in article production within the field, but a consistent decline in average citations from 2020 to 2023. Journalism emerges as the most prolific journal, with Strömbäck J as a notable figure. The central themes within the domain are "Framing", "Media", and "Politics." The USA leads in scientific productions, followed by the UK, showcasing the dominance of Anglo-American regions. There is a concentration of research collaborations within Europe, particularly among neighboring countries, with Denmark standing out for its notable collaboration with other countries.
