In the context of rapidly evolving media environments, the cognitive dimension of media discourse represents a critical area of interdisciplinary inquiry. This paper undertakes a systematic examination of the cognitive mechanisms underlying media discourse, particularly focusing on how framing strategies, conceptual metaphors, and meaning construction processes interact to shape audience cognition. Drawing on cognitive linguistic theory and discourse analytical frameworks, we investigate a corpus of contemporary media texts, including political news articles, televised broadcasts, and social media narratives. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative metaphor analysis with quantitative frame mapping, to elucidate how media discourse organizes, filters, and directs public interpretation of complex socio-political phenomena. Our findings reveal that cognitive mechanisms such as metaphorical framing and conceptual blending not only structure media narratives but also function as potent tools of ideological influence and identity construction. This research contributes to the theoretical elaboration of media cognition by offering an integrative account of how linguistic and conceptual patterns operate across discursive modalities. Ultimately, the paper underscores the importance of critical media literacy in recognizing and deconstructing the cognitive strategies embedded in contemporary media communication
