“…Evidence indicated that FTCP newspaper coverage contributed to the observed declines in smoking. Other studies examined the news coverage of particular tobacco control issues and events, such as passive smoking and youth smoking,20–22 and studied the tobacco-related issues in targeted media 23. However, few studies have provided a systematic survey of tobacco news coverage throughout a country or across countries 4 10 12 14 24–27…”

Of 121 diVerent research studies cited in the lay press articles, only 15 were from tobacco-industry sponsored projects or publications. In magazines, acceptance of tobacco industry advertising was associated with the conclusion that research on passive smoking is controversial (p<0.0001). Conclusions-Although research on the harmful eVects of passive smoking accumulated between 1981 and 1994, lay press coverage of the research maintained that the science was controversial. Few research studies were cited to support the industry's claim that passive smoking is not harmful to health. However, tobacco industry representatives who were critical of the research methods used to study the health eVects of passive smoking were frequently quoted. (Tobacco Control 1999;8:254-260)

“…The analytic approach employed in this study built on previous textual analyses of media coverage of tobacco (Lima & Siegel, 1999;Magzamen, Charlesworth, & Glantz, 2001;Stillman et al, 2001;Whelan, Sheridan, Meister, & Mosher, 1981), which provided solid foundations for the methodology developed for this study and the categories and coding strategies employed. Ideally, each of the articles would have been coded by at least two coders.…”

Newspaper Coverage of Youth and Tobacco: Implications for Public Health

The presentation of smoking as a "youth" issue is a powerful component of current tobacco-control efforts. Agenda setting theory demonstrates that the media serve as a potent forum in which the consideration and presentation of perspectives of social problems take place. This analysis of 643 U.S. youth-focused newspaper articles examines the messages being conveyed to the public and policymakers through coverage of tobacco issues focused on youth. Data illustrate that the issue of youth tobacco use is newsworthy but also suggest that youth-focused issues garner little commentary coverage. Rather, straightforward reports of "feel good" stories dominate the coverage, and youth-focused articles tend to conceptualize the problem of tobacco as being one of a need for greater individual-level education rather than structural or policy changes.
