The effects of postmortem pictures in U.S. news coverage of school shootings
In the United States, news outlets avoid showing postmortem images. Recent rises in school shootings have intensified debates about whether photojournalism should document the dead bodies of students killed. Some experts claim that these controversial images would increase public support for gun control and thereby save lives. However, other experts argue that these images should be banned because they cause audiences to experience compassion fat…
Salient beliefs related to secondary distribution of Covid-19 self-test kits within social networks
Background: Widespread access to testing is critical to public health efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary distribution of COVID-19 self-test kits, where an individual distributes test kits to others in their social networks, is a potential strategy to improve access to testing. In this qualitative study, we identified salient beliefs about distributing and accepting COVID-19 self-test kits within one's social network, as well as o…

The Perceived Impact of Covid-19 among Treatment-Seeking Smokers
The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on behavioral health, including tobacco use, are not fully known. The current study sought to measure the perceived impact of COVID-19 and the resulting stay-at-home orders in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Buffalo, New York on smokers enrolled in four smoking cessation trials between March 2020 and July 2020. The survey collected quantitative data regarding life changes due to COVID-19, health/exposure s…
Death Makes the News
Because it is impossible to create an unfiltered mirror to reality, the news media selectively rely on particular pictures and words to shape our understanding of world events. The construction of news is never a random process, and photojournalism is far more than a mechanical undertaking. Because photographs literally craft boundaries, systematically hiding one reality while illuminating another, this book extensively examines how pictures repr…
Portrayals of Violence and Group Difference in Newspaper Photographs
The authors analyzed group membership of violent agents and types of violence in front-page photographs from 21 years of The New York Times. Using a trimodal definition of media violence, they confirmed the hypothesis that non-U.S. agents are represented as more explicitly violent than U.S. agents, and that the latter are associated with disguised modes of violence more often than the former. The recurring image of non-U.S. violence is that of or…
The populace and the police
While prior research, popular conceptions, and industry literature treat reality‐based crime television as a homogenous genre of programming, this research highlights considerable intra‐genre diversity. Quantitative and qualitative findings indicate that programs contain considerable ideological diversity, as expressed by contrasting means of pursuing and apprehending malfeasants. A case study shows that Cops establishes and justifies police as t…
