Risk frames on shark diving websites: implications for global shark conservation

Abstract: ABSTRACT1. Decision-makers can leverage understanding about the human dimensions (HD) of shark conservation to inform more effective conservation action. Characterizing risk frames on shark diving websites can provide insight about the HD of shark conservation and deepen understanding of the role of risk in influencing human relationships with wildlife.2. The objectives of the current study were to: (1) describe risk frames (e.g. victim, perpetrator) found on shark diving websites; (2) explore themes among and… Show more

“…Given these recent findings, one may question whether newspaper articles accurately reflect society's values toward sharks and shark conservation. Assessment of human attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to sharks would provide some much‐needed insight into media effects on public attitudes toward sharks and their conservation (Gore et al ; Simpfendorfer et al ). Furthermore, continued monitoring of shark‐related newspaper articles may signal changes in attitude and belief patterns (Houston et al ).…”

“…However, the content and context of news media coverage about sharks, needed to empirically assess this claim, has been neither adequately described nor quantified. Researchers have investigated the portrayal of sharks in documentaries (Ferguson ), shark‐diving websites (Gore et al ), and diving magazines (Whatmough et al ). Boissonneault et al () assessed how the portrayal of gray nurse sharks in Australian newspapers changed from 1969 to 2003.…”

“…Examples of local media stories trying to capture both the public and governments' attention also suggest that the media might be a contributor to the political process in the country: Information on how the media frames conservation issues can also assist communication and outreach efforts by providing insights about social dimensions of conservation and messages being delivered (Gore et al, 2011;Muter et al, 2013). We found that articles where conflict was the lead frame of the story generally did not include conservation as a secondary attribute.…”

“…This study reports on a content analysis of a sample of risk communication materials (e.g., brochures, handouts, websites) containing agency‐based information about TB and available to the public in Michigan and Minnesota during April 2010. Content analysis is a rigorous and systematic procedure for assessing the content of documented information (Riffe et al 1998, Wimmer and Dominick 2003) and is frequently used to assess and evaluate risk framing and messaging in both conservation (e.g., Siemer et al 2007, Muter et al 2009, Houston et al 2010, Gore et al 2011) and health communication (e.g., Lapinski 2006) contexts.…”
