This work proposes a new model of activation of frames, called network activated frames (NAF). The NAF seeks to update the study of framing as a result of the activation of frames by users in a connected network. With this objective in mind, I reconstruct the different notions of frame and framing in the political communication literature and present their limitations. The activation of frames in social networks is verified experimentally using a conjoint experiment, a technique that randomly rotates a variety of frame elements and evaluates the intention to share the content. The results provide conclusive evidence of the propensity of social network users to activate different frame elements in different regions of a social network.
