The Bordering Practices of Canadian Newspapers (2011-2022)
This paper is based on a frame analysis of the media portrayal of Syrian refugees in the three highest circulating Canadian newspapers from 2011 to 2022. From 2011 to 2013 the focus was on the conflict being far away, confusing and complicated but not Canada's concern. From 2014 to 2016, the conflict became urgent to Canadians and their politicians. From 2017 to 2022, as policy changed to actively soliciting refugees to come to Canada, the focus …
Bullying in newsmagazines in Canada and the US
The incidence, as well as public and media focus on bullying and cyberbullying as social problems among children, has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Yet, the meanings, causes and consequences of bullying are all disputed. Thus, this paper reports on a qualitative content and discourse analysis of the portrayal of bullying in top circulating newsmagazines in Canada and the US from 2000 to 2014. It focuses on the answers to t…
A Study of the Portrayal of Bullying in Magazines for Parents
The purpose of this research is to describe and explain the portrayal of bullying in three parenting magazines from 2000 to 2014. Heightened awareness and recording of the problem of bullying began after the Columbine school shooting in 1999. Recently cyber‐bullying has become a grave concern. This study found that stories focused on parental responsibility. Parents are exhorted to be constantly alert to evidence of a child being involved in bull…
The underside of medicalisation
In this article, I examine the changing representation of medical error in high circulating North American popular magazines in three time periods 1980–1989, 1990–1999 and 2000–2014. Although there were stories of medical error in all the time periods they differed both in their frequency and in the dominant discourses. In the first decade, medical error was represented as an occasional, unique and unusual event. In the next two and a half decade…
The Portrayal of Children's Mental Health and Developmental Issues from 1890 to 1920 in Mass Print Magazines in North America
Children's mental health and development issues are considered a significant concern today. A century and more ago children's mental health and developmental disorders were likely understood differently. This paper examines the portrayal of children's mental health and developmental disorders in all 41 accessible articles on the topic indexed in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature from 1890 to 1920. It focuses on these three decades as a …

Representations of Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the North American Roman Catholic Print Media, 1990–2013
This article is a qualitative content analysis of how autism and autism spectrum disorder are portrayed in the North American Roman Catholic print media. The findings suggest that there is an absence of medicalization and scientific explanations for the disorder in the magazines and newspaper analyzed. Instead, these publications stress the acceptance and inclusion of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and a celebration of their difference…
Risk and the Black American child
Risks abound with the increasing diseasing of childhood in North America. However, the incidence and meanings and therefore the risk of children’s mental health issues differ in distinctly racialised groups. In this article, we examine the portrayal of the risk of children’s mental health issues in articles published in the three highest circulating African American magazines (Jet, Ebony and Essence) from 1990 to 2012. Based on a qualitative cont…

Discourses about children's mental health and developmental disorders in N orth A merican women's magazines 1990–2012
This paper describes and analyses the portrayal of children's mental health and developmental issues ( CMHI ) in articles located in a random sample of a selection of available high‐circulating E nglish language N orth A merican ‘women's magazines’ indexed in the R eader's G uide to P eriodical L iterature from 1990 to 2012. It is based upon a qualitative discourse analysis. CMHI are portrayed as materially, biologically real, prevalent and growi…
Medicalisation and changes in advice to mothers about children's mental health issues 1970 to 1990 as compared to 1991 to 2010
In this article, I examine the ways in which the portrayal of children's mental health issues has changed in a high-circulating mass print magazine, Chatelaine, in Canada over the last four decades of the twentieth century through the advice given to mothers regarding their children's behaviour and emotions. I selected these four decades as they reflect the rapid growth in medicalisation, risk society, neoliberalism and intensive mothering and co…
Tracking governance
This paper explores how advice to mothers about raising healthy children differs in two distinct disease regimes as portrayed in articles in the pre-eminent Canadian women’s magazine Chatelaine about 50 years apart, 1928–1944 and 1990–2012. The paper compares intensive mothering, medicalization and the perception of risk. It suggests that both intensive mothering and medicalization are continuous from time period to time period (although the cont…
Advice to mothers about managing children's behaviours in C anada's premier woman's magazine
Recent research and theorizing has characterized contemporary mothering as medicalized, intensive and risky. The rate of diagnosis of children's mental health issues has grown rapidly, particularly since the 90s. This paper examines the construction of mothering in regard to children's behaviours and mental health through an exploratory and qualitative content analysis of the portrayal of advice to mothers in C hatelaine M agazine, the premier wo…
Representations of Autism in US Magazines for Women in Comparison to the General Audience
This paper investigates the portrayal of autism in magazines directed toward two different audiences in English-speaking North America. It compares answers to three questions: What is autism? What is said to cause it? What can and should be done about it? in articles in magazines whose audience is primarily female with magazines for general interest (male and female) audiences. The findings suggest that autism is framed in contrasting ways in the…
Surplus suffering
Social theorists have demonstrated the growth in dominance of two central discourses for understanding the ways that children's mental‐health issues are understood today – medicalization and intensive mothering . In this context, this paper reports on a qualitative interview‐based study of 16 mothers whose children had received a diagnosis with one or more mental‐health or developmental issues such as Tourette's, bipolar, anxiety, depression, aut…
Magazine portrayal of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD)
One of the significantly increasing risks in modern society is that of childhood mental, developmental and behavioural disorders. Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are cases in point. This paper uses a social constructionist and framing approach to investigate the portrayal of risks associated with ADD/ADHD in popular magazines directed towards mass audiences in English speaking North America fro…
The paradoxical portrayal of the risk of sexually transmitted infections and sexuality in US magazines Glamour and Cosmopolitan 2000–2007
This paper reports on an exploratory, qualitative content analysis of the portrayal of the risk of sexually transmitted infections or diseases (STIs or STDs) and sexuality in the United States (US) versions of the most popular women's magazines in the world, the English language magazines for young women Cosmopolitan (Cosmo) and Glamour from 2000–2007. The data studied here demonstrate contradictory messages. On the one hand, there is a frequent …
Childhood depression and mass print magazines in the USA and Canada
Childhood depression is a diagnosis made with increasing frequency. Mass media, including magazines, are a significant source of knowledge about health and illness available in mass society, including childhood depression. This study is a frame analysis of the portrayal of childhood depression in the textual content of magazines available in English in North America in the years 1983–2008. Childhood depression is portrayed as a real, biologically…

The purpose of this paper is to report on an exploratory content analysis of the portrayal of sexuality, sexual health and disease in select magazines designed for two groups of women: teenagers and women in the 40-50-year-old age category in the USA. The analysis found that magazine portrayal was both similar for the two groups of women and distinctly different. Neither group of magazines focused on women's sexual desire. Both kinds of magazines…
Race and Gender in the Media

Testicular cancer is the most common cause of death for men aged 19-35 in North America. The mass print and other media are important sources of 'information' about a variety of treatment and health-related matters.

Media Portrayal of Disease from the Medical, Political Economy, and Life-Style Perspectives
There are three competing explanations of disease and its treatment: the medical, life-style, and political economy models. Each of these models is used as a presupposition for health policy. The mass media are one source of information about disease and health policy. This research examines the incidence of each of these models of disease in the portrayal of cancer, heart disease, and AIDS in six mass-circulating magazines from 1980 to 1987

An Inquiry Into the “Agonies” (Agonias) of Portuguese Immigrants From the Azores
Previous research has found that psychiatric symptom expression is inextricably linked with culture and that psychiatric categories do not necessarily reflect the experiences of people from other cultures. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this study explored the Portuguese culture-specific phenomenon agonias (meaning “the agonies”). Fifty (21 males and 29 females) Portuguese immigrants from the Azores were interviewed concerning their immigrat…

Sexism, feminism and medicalism
Do we really have a dependent variable in our study of the sex differences in illness and sex differences in the explanations for illness? The purpose of this paper, which reviews the literature in this area over the past decade, is to argue that because of both conceptual and methodological difficulties in the definition of health/illness, there are serious problems in the available analyses to date. Confusions between medical and lay definition…

Quality of Breast Cancer Sites on the World Wide Web
Surplus Suffering
Disease definition and its diagnosis occur in historical, socio-cultural and gendered contexts (Clarke, 2000). Bodily or emotional signs noted in one time, place and context can be seen as normal, yet in another context are perceived as pathological or sinful. Power, too, is implicated in whether signs experienced by lay persons become diagnosable and, thus, legitimately described within the medical realm and/or whether they are deemed to be spir…
