This study examined 286 stories posted about the Black Lives Matter movement and protests following George Floyd’s death by the six most-viewed U.S. news outlets on Facebook during summer 2020. These organizations published a significant amount of content, though the frequency declined throughout the summer. Stories mostly framed protesters positively and police negatively. Organizations regularly used law/crime spot news to frame protests. The findings may signal a potential shift away from the media’s protest paradigm.

Following a recent push to reframe gun violence as a public health issue, an online survey (N = 510) helped explore frame salience and frame adoption through the lens of media advocacy. Findings revealed that gun control and gun rights frames are salient, and television, social media and newspapers are the most popular sources of gun violence information. Individuals are being held responsible, while background checks were the most salient and adopted solution among Americans. Three gun rights organizations were the most salient organizations from media coverage related to gun violence. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

I am pleased (and to be honest, quite intimidated) to assume the role of editor for the Newspaper Research Journal. For more than 40 years now, this journal has been a mainstay in the field of journalism-related research, and I look forward to its continued success. Before moving forward, I would like to thank outgoing editor Dane Claussen for his efforts to strengthen the journal’s reputation internationally that will benefit the journal for many years to come. I have big shoes to fill, and I commit to do my best. This journal has an important role to play as the journalism industry continues to face an uncertain and sometimes unsettling future. Like most everything else in the world, the news industry has grappled with the effects caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic—from wide sweeping layoffs, the demise of some print newspapers, and a loss of revenue. But there is also much to be hopeful for as we look to the future. In its 2021 Digital News Report (Newman, 2021), The Reuters Institute found that this crisis has put a spotlight on the value of accurate and reliable information. For instance, according to the report, trust in the news has grown in the midst of the pandemic, with 44% of respondents saying they trust most of the news most of the time. The highest levels of trust (65%) were found in Finland, while the United States had the lowest level of trust (29%). Some of the more interesting findings from this report include:

This content analysis of news stories about the Detroit water shutoffs sought to understand how the ongoing water crisis is framed in local Detroit newspapers—as a human rights issue, or in relation to the city’s financial burden. Using a deductive framing approach, we paid special attention to the frames used within stories and whether articles contained context related to the water shutoffs, specifically about health implications. We paid particular attention to how the focus on health implications changed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Results showed that stories about the water shutoffs often included an economic consequences and responsibility frame which put the blame for the water shutoffs on the city’s government and simultaneously called for the city to step up and fix the problem. Very few news articles focused on the human element of the story, with only a small fraction of the stories including the voices of residents living with no water or focusing on the health implications for those without running water in their homes. These findings led us to make strategic recommendations for reporters covering the water shutoffs in Detroit and similar areas.

The results of this article propose three primary findings: first, the news media perpetuates and creates new stereotypes for women and women of color who run for political office; second, female journalists disproportionately write news articles about female candidates compared to their male counterparts; and finally, images of women in online news stories appear to be “vanishing,” with news articles supplementing media elements with videos and infographics.

This study investigates the effects of exposure to news frames on attitudes toward Syrian refugee admissions and anti-immigrant sentiment. Findings show that framing Syrian refugees, ranging from benefits, victims to a security threat did invoke changes of attitudes toward admitting Syrian refugees. Participants reading a benefit frame story expressed more favorable opinions on accepting Syrian refugees than participants in the threat frame condition. In contrast to the extant literature, arguing victim frame enhances positive attitudes, the findings suggested that participants, who were exposed to a victim frame story yielded stronger anti-immigrant sentiment than participants who read a threat frame story. These findings advance scholarship on media framing of refugees and its effect on anti-immigrant sentiment and have important refugee admission policy and advocacy implications.

In 2018, the Indian Supreme Court overturned Section 377 of the Penal Code which criminalized consensual homosexual sex between adults. This study examines the Indian media’s framing of this repeal, the sources quoted and the prominence given to the issue. Findings reveal that the human/civil rights frame was most common; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) sources were most prominent, and the issue was covered prominently in most major media outlets.

Current research shows that news stories on COVID-19 influence Americans’ opinions on most aspects of the pandemic. This study aims to better understand newspaper narratives of pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative textual analysis of newspaper articles in the New York Times uncovered common themes in coverage. Relevant themes are reexamining women’s reproductive rights, highlighting inequalities in the U.S. health care system and uncertainty/fear among pregnant women and women’s health professionals. Theoretical contributions are discussed.
