“…Providing information through media sources can improve knowledge and alter attitudes and health behaviours (Brown et al 2001, Gollust and Lantz 2009, Slater et al 2009, Moriarty et al 2010. The possible adverse effects of poor infant nutrition practices deserve to be fully and consistently explained to caregivers.…”

Health effects of infant feeding: Information for parents in leaflets and magazines in five European countries

et al. 2012

Parents’ decisions about whether to breastfeed their infant, and when to introduce complementary foods, are important public health issues. Breastfeeding has beneficial health effects and is widely promoted. Leaflets and magazine articles on infant feeding were collected in 2005, in five European countries (England, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Spain), and screened for statements that link feeding behaviours to infant health outcomes. A total of 127 leaflets contained 512 statements (0.38 / published page). Magazines contained approximately 1 article / month. Health outcomes were more intensively covered in England and Germany. Most statements referred to short term health implications. Lack of scientific agreement may underlie lack of cover of longer term health effects. Scope may exist to promote improved infant feeding practices by increasing the quantity and specificity of messages about health effects. Further research is required to evaluate the impact of alternative means of providing information on infant feeding practices

“…This study acknowledges that examining the source cited is somewhat limited in nature in that it is not known how much influence the uncited source affects the content of the story (Moriarty, Jensen, & Stryker, 2010). There might be situations where the journalists use the sources but did not cite the source intentionally or unintentionally.…”

“…Researchers who can provide in depth knowledge base about event and its associated matters as source of information cited were underutilized in this study. Previous research found that research information was an influential source of information cited in the case of breast cancer news coverage (Moriarty, Jensen, & Stryker, 2010), library and information science (Blessinger & Hrycaj, 2010). In sport specific, Lee, Kim, and Love (2014) found that the most common sources of information cited for the Gay Games, a global mega sporting event, is lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community followed by supporters, sport writers, and politicians.…”

Abstract:The study examined how newspaper articles have framed the 17th Incheon Asian Games 2014, in regard to the different issues covered, sources cited, positive and/or negative externalities frames, and the relationship between issues and sources. A total of 625 Korean nationwide and local newspaper articles covering the Asian Games during the 9-year period between April 7, 2005 and September 18, 2014 was analyzed in terms of three aspects of framing: (1) the types of issues highlighted, (2) the sources of information cited, and (3) the ways in which either possibilities of positive or negative externalities depiction were used. The results of the current study reveal that "political issues" (e.g., administrative and/or political conflict among central government, host city, and local residents, participation of North Korea national team) except "factual information of the event" (e.g., schedules, results, athlete performance, history) were the most commonly highlighted, "administrators" who are the government agencies preparing the Asian Games were the most frequently cited sources of information and the frame of "negative externalities" was more employed than the frame of "positive externalities" in newspapers of the Asian Games. This study regarding media coverage of the mega sporting event identifies how mass media agencies influence their target audience using framing theory and especially provide extensive analysis of media coverage of the Asian Games to date, which could serve as a groundwork for further studies of media framing theory.

Popular science magazines cover research articles published in scholarly journals that the magazines perceive as having news value. Despite thousands of research articles being published in research journals, a very few get identified for coverage in popular science magazines, general magazines, and newspapers. Do research articles published in journals that are covered in popular science magazines receive higher citations? We hypothesize that newsworthy articles should receive higher citations as the newsworthiness can be a reflection of higher research value of the articles and also because of the visibility received by the articles owing to its coverage in popular science magazine. To empirically study the citedness, we identified 193 research articles and that were reported in New Scientist magazine in 2001. The characteristics of these articles including the citations received following coverage in New Scientist in 2001 were looked at. It was found that average citations per paper of articles covered in New Scientist was higher than the journal average for the year 2001 for 19 out of the 24 journals identified here.
