Abstract:

The primary objective of this research study was to assess the extent and content of newspaper coverage of passive smoking. The researcher found that passive smoking was portrayed as a controversial issue. Twenty nine percent of articles concluded that passive smoking is not harmful. Although the majority of people quoted in articles were scientists, physicians, and academicians; reporters devoted a considerable amount of quotes to tobacco company representatives. Tobacco quotes, study funding, other cancer, and lung caner were the major predictors of articles’ conclusions.

The researcher would like to be considered for the Eason prize. Thank you.
