7B Daigle_Street Racing Content Analysis of Coverage and Framing by Canadian Newspapers<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Abstract:<\/h2>\n

Background: Surveys of Canadians consistently find that street racing is a serious concern. Yet, very little objective evidence on the prevalence of street racing and the extent of negative consequences exists to inform the opinions of Canadians. Despite the lack of official data, from 2002-2008 a number of Canadian provinces and the federal government amended and introduced new provisions to their street racing legislation.
\nNewspaper framing of motor vehicle collisions has been shown to be highly skewed, and how the press frame street racing informs public perceptions of the severity and nature of this issue. Newspaper reports cannot be used to estimate the prevalence of street racing incidents nor the contribution of street racing to motor vehicle casualties; however, they can provide information on what content the public is obtaining on the topic.<\/p>\n

Aims: This study examined newspaper coverage of street racing across the country.<\/p>\n

Methods: The term \u201cstreet racing\u201d was used to search Proquest\u2019s Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies database for articles published between November 1, 2006 and October 31, 2008. Ontario introduced new street racing legislation in 2007; thus this timeframe was chosen in the aim of capturing the prevalence, slant and themes of articles from different provinces during this period. An ethnographic content analysis was conducted in which a template analysis style was used to code and analyze the data. Article data were imported into NVivo9 software.<\/p>\n

Results: Our search strategy yielded 351 articles. The majority of the articles (74.64%) were published in Ontario and British Columbia. Fifty-eight percent were episodic and 11.68% were thematic. Most articles (58.02%) had a neutral slant; however of those articles that did have a slant, 95.16% of the episodic articles and 36.0% of the thematic articles were slanted positively towards having street racing legislation. The majority of episodic articles (53.3%) described a collision of which 74.1% resulted in victim fatalities, 49.3% described street racing offences, while 2.6% involved both. Common characteristics of episodic street racing articles included victims who were middle-aged males, while the perpetrators were typically young males between the ages of 16 and 24. Street racing legislation was a recurrent theme in thematic articles (51.2%) with the majority of articles coming from Ontario. Specific aspects of the law that were commonly debated in Ontario newspapers included licence suspension and vehicle seizure. The provinces that did not have street racing legislation did not contribute many articles overall, but what was published discussed concern about how to deal with the issue of street racing.<\/p>\n

Discussion: The majority of street racing articles were published in Ontario and British Columbia and focussed on collisions, fatalities and street racing offences with particular emphasis on sensational cases. Thematic articles centred on the legislative debate in their respective provinces. In the absence of official statistics, the media\u2019s presentation of street racing may be shaping public perceptions and the political agenda. Limitations of the study include the use of daily newspapers only thereby omitting the opinions from other types and levels of media coverage.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9sum\u00e9 :<\/h2>\n

Contexte : Des sondages men\u00e9s aupr\u00e8s de Canadiens r\u00e9v\u00e8lent de fa\u00e7on constante qu\u2019ils sont
\ntr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par les courses de rue. Pourtant, il existe tr\u00e8s peu de preuves objectives sur la
\npr\u00e9valence des courses de rue et leurs cons\u00e9quences n\u00e9gatives qui permettraient d\u2019aider les
\nCanadiens \u00e0 se prononcer sur le sujet. Malgr\u00e9 le manque de donn\u00e9es officielles, de 2002 \u00e0 2008,
\ncertaines provinces canadiennes et le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral ont amend\u00e9 leur l\u00e9gislation en
\nmati\u00e8re de courses de rue et ont introduit de nouvelles dispositions.
\nLa fa\u00e7on dont les journaux rapportent les collisions des v\u00e9hicules est grandement asym\u00e9trique, et
\nla fa\u00e7on dont la presse \u00e9crite pr\u00e9sente les courses de rue fa\u00e7onne la perception du public quant \u00e0
\nla nature et \u00e0 la gravit\u00e9 de cette question. Nous ne pouvons utiliser les articles de journaux pour
\n\u00e9valuer la pr\u00e9valence des incidents de course de rue ni dans quelle mesure ces derniers
\ncontribuent au bilan des d\u00e9c\u00e8s de la route; cependant, ces articles donnent une id\u00e9e des
\ninformations donn\u00e9es au public \u00e0 ce sujet.<\/p>\n

Objectifs : La pr\u00e9sente \u00e9tude se penche sur la couverture journalistique des courses de rue
\npartout au pays.<\/p>\n

M\u00e9thodes : Nous avons utilis\u00e9 le terme \u00ab street racing \u00bb (course de rue en fran\u00e7ais) pour faire
\nune recherche dans la base de donn\u00e9es Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies de Proquest afin de
\ntrouver des articles publi\u00e9s entre le 1er novembre 2006 et le 31 octobre 2008. L\u2019Ontario a introduit
\nune nouvelle loi sur les courses de rue en 2007; c\u2019est pourquoi nous avons choisi cette p\u00e9riode
\npour mieux saisir la pr\u00e9valence, le point de vue et les th\u00e8mes des articles provenant de
\ndiff\u00e9rentes provinces durant cette p\u00e9riode. Une analyse du contenu ethnographique a \u00e9t\u00e9 men\u00e9e
\nau cours de laquelle un mod\u00e8le d\u2019analyse a \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9 afin de coder et d\u2019analyser les donn\u00e9es.
\nLes donn\u00e9es sur les articles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 import\u00e9es dans le logiciel NVivo9.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9sultats : Notre strat\u00e9gie de recherche nous a donn\u00e9 351 articles. La majorit\u00e9 de ces articles
\n(74,64 %) ont \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9s en Ontario et en Colombie-Britannique. Cinquante-huit p. cent des
\narticles \u00e9taient \u00e9pisodiques et 11,68 % \u00e9taient th\u00e9matiques. La plupart des articles (58,02 %)
\n\u00e9taient r\u00e9dig\u00e9 d\u2019un point de vue neutre; cependant, parmi les articles qui avaient un parti pris,
\n95,16 % des articles \u00e9pisodiques et 36 % des articles th\u00e9matiques avaient un parti pris favorable
\nenvers une loi contre les courses de rue. La majorit\u00e9 des articles \u00e9pisodiques (53,3 %)
\nd\u00e9crivaient une collision qui, dans 74,1 % des cas, a fait des victimes; 43,9 % d\u00e9crivaient des
\ninfractions relatives aux courses de rue alors que 2,6 % des articles portaient sur les deux sujets.
\nLes caract\u00e9ristiques communes des articles \u00e9pisodiques traitant des courses de rue \u00e9taient que
\nles victimes \u00e9taient des hommes d\u2019\u00e2ge moyen et que les auteurs de d\u00e9lits \u00e9taient habituellement
\nde jeunes hommes \u00e2g\u00e9s de 16 \u00e0 24 ans. La l\u00e9gislation relative aux courses de rue \u00e9tait un th\u00e8me
\nr\u00e9current dans les articles th\u00e9matiques (51,2 %), et la majorit\u00e9 des articles avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9crits en Ontario. Les aspects sp\u00e9cifiques de la loi fr\u00e9quemment mentionn\u00e9s dans les journaux ontariens \u00e9taient la suspension du permis et la saisie du v\u00e9hicule. Peu d\u2019articles provenaient des provinces qui n\u2019ont pas de l\u00e9gislation en mati\u00e8re de courses de rue, mais les articles publi\u00e9s discutaient de la fa\u00e7on de traiter cette question.<\/p>\n

Discussion : La majorit\u00e9 des articles portant sur les courses de rue avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9s en Ontario et en Colombie-Britannique et se concentraient sur les collisions, les d\u00e9c\u00e8s et les d\u00e9lits en mati\u00e8re de course de rue tout en mettant l\u2019accent sur les cas spectaculaires. Les articles th\u00e9matiques portaient sur le d\u00e9bat l\u00e9gislatif dans leur province respective. Sans statistiques officielles, la repr\u00e9sentation des courses de rue par les m\u00e9dias peut fa\u00e7onner la perception du public et les programmes politiques. Les limites de l\u2019\u00e9tude comprennent la seule utilisation de quotidiens, ce qui passe sous silence le point de vue des autres m\u00e9dias.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
