“…However, people's understanding of health crises is a multifaceted psychological construct, given that their reactions are linked to different characteristics of risk information that they perceive from news media.Thus, news frames are constructed with various evaluation approaches to direct people's understanding of ambivalence and controversy in various ways (Domke, Shah, & Wackman, 1998). Bardhan (2001) further found that news frames of HIV/ AIDS across countries are identified as six major dimensions for news framing analysis, namely health risk, medical/scientific issue, prevention/protection, economic consequences, societal problems and political/ legal issues. The health-risk frame is considered as a crisis or threat that focuses on transmission and prevalence of epidemic.…”

“…Previous studies analysed frames changing the process of news stories from time and space dimensions in crisis management processes (Chyi & McCombs, 2004;Muschert, 2009), which would offer insights into this study to examine dynamic changes in news frames across various stages of the flu crisis. Moreover, Bardhan's (2001) six major dimensions are employed to examine how news frames would change across various stages of the flu crisis, given that these six categories are precisely developed to investigate thematic salience of health news. Thus,…”

“…The study used a coding category of news frames established by Bardhan (2001). Specifically, health risk identified the stories about the transmission and prevalence of the flu pandemic in a nationwide or worldwide crisis, deaths from the virus, or depictions of the flu pandemic as a crisis or threat.…”

Dividing a crisis management process into three stages, this study examined news coverage of swine flu crisis in terms of news frames, mortality exemplars, vaccine problems, evaluation approaches to risk magnitudes and news sources. Results revealed that various framing strategies were used in news media at different stages of the flu crisis.The frames of health risk, societal problems, political/legal issues and prevention/health education were mostly used at the pre-crisis stage, while the medical/scientific frame was regularly utilized at the post-crisis stage to highlight medical treatment and scientific research.The evaluation approaches were also employed differently. The qualitative approach was mostly used at the pre-crisis stage, while the quantitative and statistical approaches were applied frequently at the post-crisis stage. Health professionals were widely cited as news sources at each stage to increase public awareness of crisis severity, and government officials and politicians repeatedly appeared to function strategically toward the achievement of public-institution effectiveness at the pre-crisis stage.

“…The shift in the framing of HIV/AIDS-related news and information from the biomedical perspective to the socioeconomic, cultural, and ethical perspective created a huge positive change in the perception and reception of HIV/AIDS among media audiences (Bardhan, 2001). Both HIV/AIDS and homosexuality have seen the ups and downs of being a taboo.…”

Reframing Menstruation in India: Metamorphosis of the Menstrual Taboo With the Changing Media Coverage

In this study I hypothesize metamorphosis of the menstrual taboo by examining the image and perception shifts of two social taboos-HIV/AIDS and homosexuality-from estranged taboos to embraced social issues. Trends identified in their media framing and respective image shifts were applied to menstruation in India. Based on my understanding of theory, topic, and geographical location, I construct a metamorphosis. I contribute the hypothesized final stage of metamorphosis, and explain how framing is likely instrumental in bringing about these changes.

Through reportage, media have played a key role in HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness in Uganda. Uganda’s success in reducing the percentage of HIV infection together with key supportive factors such as political will have been discussed internationally. Media have been credited with relaying information about HIV/AIDS to different groups of people in the public and acting as change agents. This study looks at media as key players in the HIV and AIDS prevention journey in Uganda and therefore seeks to investigate how two major newspaper outlets; New Vision and Daily Monitor framed the issue of HIV/AIDS—looking particularly at the who, between authority and none authority sources contributed most to the HIV/AIDS narrative as news stories’ sources. A quantitative content analysis was carried out of New Vision and Daily Monitor newspapers’ articles spanning 20 years of coverage. Results indicate that despite the important role played, media depended more on authority sources of information compared to none authority sources. This paper argues that lay people such as PLWHA or their caregivers have lived experiences which if shared, could affect the adoption of recommended HIV/AIDS preventive measures.
