Kanarek is with the Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University.
Objectives: We assessed news media framing of New York City's proposed regulation to prohibit the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages greater than 16 ounces.
Methods: We conducted a quantitative content analysis of print and television news from within and outside New York City media markets. We examined support for and opposition to the portion-size cap in the news coverage from its May 31, 2012, proposal through the appellate court ruling on July 31, 2013.
