U.S. news media coverage of solutions to the opioid crisis, 2013–2017
2019, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :News media coverage of the U.S. opioid epidemic plays an important role in Americans' knowledge of and support for solutions to address the crisis, which resulted in 47,600 overdose deaths in 2017 (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2019). A large body of communication research has demonstrated that news media coverage influences audiences' perceptions of which issues are most important; attitudes about the population affected by a given issue; perceptions of the causes and consequences of the issue; and preferred solutions to the problem (McCombs, 1977; Scheufele and Tewksbury, 2007; Iyengar, 1996; Gross, 2008; Chong and Druckman, 2007; Chong and Druckman, 2013; Graber and Dunaway, 2014). A small but growing body of research on “solutions journalism” suggests that relative to news stories focused purely on societal problems, news stories incorporating discussion of solutions are more effective at engaging audiences (McIntyre, 2017; Curry et al., 2016; McIntyre and Sobel, 2017; Lough and McIntyre, 2018; Thier, 2016).
