Abstract
This paper aims to develop the growing body of visual framing research by addressing the framing of responsibility through a visual lens, expanding upon the Levels of Visual Framing (Rodriguez & Dimitrova, 2011), allowing for the allocation of responsibility presented in visuals. Additionally, it provides a new way to view episodic and thematic frames, and said frames within the context of social media, specifically TikTok. Further, it explores the user attributed causes for the ongoing Appalachian opioid crisis and how the users and people of Appalachia are viewed within the social media landscape of TikTok.
