The Needle and the Damage Done: Framing the Heroin Epidemic in the Cincinnati Enquirer
1a Advertising, Public Relations & Media Design , University of Colorado , Boulder.
Abstract:
This case study focuses on the Cincinnati Enquirer's coverage of the heroin epidemic. The Enquirer started the first heroin beat in January 2016, and it could serve as a model for other news organizations. Reporters used combinations of episodic, thematic, public health, and crime and law enforcement frames in their coverage. These news frames are discussed in terms of how individualism-collectivism, geographic location, available resources, and social determinants inform journalistic and societal discussions of the heroin epidemic in terms of solutions instead of responsibility or blame.
