Issue 23: Shaping stigma: An analysis of mainstream print and online news coverage of abortion, 2014-2015
Tuesday, January 31, 2017Abortion is one of the safest, most common medical procedures, yet it remains shrouded in shame, stigma and controversy. To learn more about the possible role of media in reflecting and reinforcing this stigma, BMSG, in collaboration with our partners at Sea Change, analyzed blogs, op-eds, news articles and other media coverage of the abortion. In this Issue, we share our findings, along with recommendations for advocates and journalists to improve coverage.
