Prince, politics, and doctors: A year in the news framing of a drug epidemic
The death of a celebrity. Political platforms aimed at ending a scourge. A medical scandal. All of these events took place in 2016 with opioids as a common thread. Using a qualitative content analysis with articles from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, we studied the trajectory of how opioids were framed before and after Prince’s death, during the final stretch of the 2016 political campaigns, and at the beginning of a scandal that lin…
Covering art in a crisis: Bankruptcy, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and moral orders in the news
On 3 December 2013, a federal judge approved the bankruptcy filing for Detroit, MI, the largest municipality to seek such protection in US history. The bankruptcy forced those overseeing the city to determine the economic value of Detroit’s assets, including the art collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts. These efforts led to debates over the moral commitments to art, on the one hand, and paying the city’s debts, including pensions owned to …
Reporting on Art in the City: Newspaper Coverage of Public Art in Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Chicago, 2001–2010
Local journalism is expected to record significant events, people, and ideas tied to the location where the journalism is practiced. Public art commemorates some of these significant events, people, and ideas, some of which encapsulate the style of the city, and all of which can become issues that gain media attention. We investigate a decade (2001–2010) of newspaper reporting and policies related to public art in four cities that are considered …
Justifying graffiti: (Re)defining societal codes through orders of worth
Graffiti is often defined through the broken window theory that states areas with graffiti will be riddled with other types of crime. This concern continues at a time when some graffiti writers are gaining recognition and viewed as serious artists in certain art circles. This paper looks at US news coverage of graffiti in 2012 to investigate how graffiti is being framed in a public arena. The typical framing is that graffiti is a crime and this i…

To Tell the Truth: Keys in Newspaper Portrayals of the Public During Food Scares
Numerous food scares have become news in recent years, a situation that could lead to questions concerning the due diligence of those supplying food to consumers. This study looks at how various actors tied to the food supply, including producers, processors, retailers and government agencies, have tried to transition news coverage of food scares into something that matches their interests or which places the blame for problems elsewhere. Using G…
Covering the birth of a nation: The rise of Saudi Arabia in The London Times , 1927–1937
Saudi Arabia is considered as one of the most conservative countries in the world with regards to the role of religion in shaping national politics. We use a history of Saudi Arabia and British imperialist policy to contextualize the framing of religion in news coverage of Saudi Arabia in The London Times between 1927 and 1937 to uncover themes that were available to British readers before and after recognizing Saudi Arabia as a nation on Septemb…
Speaking of art: Class code or historical residual
Knowledge and consumption of the fine arts were once considered symbolic of upper class standing. As cultural production has expanded, fine art products in various guises have become accessible to more people across the socioeconomic spectrum. This article looks at how the New York Times covered the American art scene in the 1950s and between 2000 and 2009 to investigate whether reporting has maintained a knowledge-based approach that provides ev…
Is graffiti risky? Insights from the internet and newspapers
The act of creating graffiti is often perceived as being tied to risks, such as arrest or becoming a target for rival gangs. While graffiti writers seem aware of these risks, some use graffiti to send messages about issues such as race relations, governmental oppression, and war, while others see graffiti as an art form similar to painting on a traditional canvas. Using Lash’s work on aesthetic reflexivity within a risk model framework, we invest…
Justifying the Art Critique: Clement Greenberg, Michael Kimmelman, and Orders of Worth in Art Criticism
Art critics straddle the boundaries between art worlds and the public. To legitimate and maintain this role, critics must be able to justify their standing as judges of the creation and display of art. This article draws on Boltanski's and Thévenot's work on the sorts of justifications which arise when joint action is interrupted. Specifically, we look at the justifications embedded in two seemingly disparate critiques - one from Clement Greenber…
Institutional and/versus commercial media coverage: Representations of the University of California, Berkeley–Novartis agreement
In 1998, a contract was signed between the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) and Novartis in which the latter agreed to give UCB's Department of Plant and Microbial Biology US$25 million over a five year period. This Agreement was the foundation for debates that split the university over issues related to corporate control of the university, the environmental and social consequences of biotechnology, intellectual property rights, and aca…
Is HACCP Nothing? A Disjoint Constitution between Inspectors, Processors, and Consumers and the Cider Industry in Michigan
The media and public opinion on genetics and biotechnology: Mirrors, Windows, or Walls
Arguments regarding the relationship between media discourse and public opinion have raged for decades, if not centuries. COmparing media coverage of biotechnology between 1992 and 2001 in two national newspapers with national survey data collected in early 2003, an argument is made that a general one-dimensional media effect is not occurring within the US public regarding media discourse. Given the multivalent characteristics of the media and th…
Oyster Coverage: Chiastic News as a Reflection of Local Expertise and Economic Concerns
The media, it is argued, are agents of legitimation - for themselves as well as others. Issues and social actors become recognized as important when they appear within the limelight of the news, and reporters are relied upon to correctly choose among the myriads of issues and actors vying for their attention. What happens, though, when an economically important cultural icon becomes a health threat? This is the situation facing news organizations…
The more things change: Milk pasteurization, food irradiation, and biotechnology in the New York Times
Discussions of science in the news often revolves around issues such as reporter–scientist relationships, how an issue was covered, or how certain issues are chosen among a myriad of possible topics. The aim of this project is to compare coverage between technological stories to evaluate journalistic practices over an extended period of time. Using the journalists-as-interpretive-communities perspective, we argue that New York Times coverage of f…
Media and Sovereignty: The Global Information Revolution and Its Challenge to State Power
Media have been central to government efforts to reinforce sovereignty and define national identity, but globalization is fundamentally altering media practices, institutions, and content. More than the activities of large conglomerates, globalization entails competition among states as well as private entities to dominate the world's consciousness. Changes in formal and informal rules, in addition to technological innovation, affect the growth a…
The National Media and Things Genetic: Coverage in the New York Times (1971–2001) and the Washington Post (1977-2001)
Issues related to genetics and genetic technology have gained a great deal ofattention from researchers, policy makers, the press, and even some consumers. This article focuses on how one ofthese actors—the U.S. elite press—has developed a discourse around these issues. This discussion centers on the framing of articles, the sources used by reporters, and the differences between genetics as they relate to food and to medicine. Over 2,700 articles…
Food irradiation in the news: The cultural clash of a postharvest technology
Does information matter? A research note on information technologies and political protest
The lack of attention paid to information technologies in predicting variations of political protest in cross-national studies is surprising. Given the amount of research that has been done on the impact of communication on behavior and the spread of information technologies across the globe, there is reason to believe that information technologies do play a part in the political process at the “street” level. This note takes a look at the indepe…
Managing Food: Cajun Cuisine in Economic and Cultural Terms
This study highlights some cultural and economic aspects of food. The focus is on Cajun, one of the most popular cuisines in the United States. Interviews, conversations, and observations were conducted with 19 individuals involved in some aspect of processing, distributing, or retailing food in southern Louisiana. The perspective that frames the analysis focuses on the effects of culture and the economic forces that both produce and are a produc…
Shaping a Food Safety Debate: Control Efforts of Newspaper Reporters and Sources in the Food Irradiation Controversy
Numerous studies of contacts between reporters and scientists have been undertaken, although few have focused on the degree to which these actors become embedded in their own control efforts. This study consists of interviews with sources—both scientists and nonscientists—and newspaper reporters involved in the coverage of food irradiation at two regional newspapers. It reveals the processes of boundary construction and the building of common kno…
