“…This is much different from general publications with business sections because business news coverage at most newspapers is given low priority and lacks the depth of business-specific publications (Carroll and McCombs, 2004). Additionally, when business news does make the front page of a typical daily, it is often simplified to allow for a general readership's understanding, which is why business journalists often prefer their stories to be allocated to the business section (Sumpter, 2000).…”

This study seeks to give a timely perspective on understanding how business news covers corporate social responsibility in light of heavy criticism financial journalists have faced since the latest economic depression in the United States. Building upon previous research and using agenda setting, framing, and agenda building as a theoretical base, a content analysis was conducted to examine how business news portrays corporate social responsibility and the tone used in coverage both before and after the economic crisis. Results indicated that business journalists are now taking a more neutral approach. Additionally, corporate sources did not lead to an increased use of a positive tone in post-crisis coverage, which could mean they are less likely to have an agenda-building influence over business news since the economic downturn.

The use of newswires also reflects editors' judgment about whether or not an event merits having a journalist investigate and write an original story.…”

“…Hoekstra and Hamilton were chosen for the study since they are the two reporters at their respective newspapers who have written the most on the softwood lumber dispute while O'Neil has covered the story extensively from Ottawa. Several researchers have asked reporters about the factors influencing their work, using questionnaires or direct interviews Soffin 1994,1995;Fletcher and Stahlbrand 1992;Sumpter 2000). Previous academic studies provided a sturdy road map on howto collect and codify data obtained from news articles, while demonstrating the potential pitfalls and shortcomings of these research methods.…”
