Abstract

This chapter reports the results of two content analysis studies examining 248 US daily newspaper articles about Jason Collins and Michael Sam. The first, a study of framing utilizing a two-dimensional measurement scheme, found that individual and present frames dominated in coverage of both athletes and that Sam’s announcement was covered more extensively. The second, which compared source prominence and the views expressed by sources, found that while official sources such as players, coaches, and executives were often heard from, gay and lesbian sources were also utilized. Sources were much more likely to make positive comments in stories written about Collins.
