5. There were, nonetheless, some differences among the newspapers compared to
the newsmagazines. The decline in discussions of weight-based discrimination is
greater in
Newsweek
compared to
Th
e New York Times
, and there is no decline in
discussions of weight-based discrimination in
Le Monde
, suggesting that we may
be overstating the decline in discussions of discrimination over time.

6. Before settling on these search criteria, we experimented with others but found
that these search criteria produced the most relevant articles. For instance,
though we had expected news articles to use the acronym
JAMA
, very few did.
However, they often mentioned the American Medical Association without using
the word
journal
.

Content Analysis for the Social Sciences and Humanities
(Reading, MA:
Addison-Wesley Publishing Co., 1969). Discrepancies were generally due to one
person having missed a relevant phrase, rather than to conceptual disagreements
about how the variables should be coded.

10. One exception was categories of people quoted in the article, which were coded to
represent the total number of people in a given category who were quoted. There
was also a small number of variables, including mention of foreign nations, that
were coded, 0, 1, or 2, in which 0 designated no mention, 1 designated a brief
mention, and 2 designated that this aspect was a central focus of the article.
Likewise, specific mention of the United States in French articles or vice versa, in
the comparative sample, were coded as 0, 1, or 2.

11. In the science reporting samples, we coded more narrowly for the discussion of
genetic, rather than biological, factors.
