The emerging public discourse on state legalization of marijuana for recreational use in the US: analysis of news media coverage, 2010-2014.
The authors assessed the volume and content of US news media coverage on recreational marijuana policy. In the news outlets studies, they found that 53% of news stories mentioned pro-legalization arguments and 47% mentioned anti-legalization arguments. They concluded that it is critical for the public health community to develop communication strategies to convey accurately the rapidly evolving research evidence regarding recreational marijuana policy.
