This study, based on content analysis, showed that the auto elite set the agenda for the New York Times and the Detroit News, both of which were inclined to have their news coverage of the auto trade conflicts between the United States and Japan biased toward fair trade, not free trade. Additionally, the News was more likely than the Times to be more biased, especially when the conflicts were mounting.

This study content analyzed how elite news sources framed Taiwan’s housing policy and inequality that underlies its major social problems in the press. Results show that reports used pro-market rhetoric, not pro-social equality justification. Official sources causally assigned unaffordable housing to individuals, whereas nonofficial sources blamed the government’s failed policy. This research added to the scarce literature on framing of economic issues. It’s also among the first framing studies incorporating a time element in analysis.
