The way in which the news media frame child sexual abuse can influence public perception. This content analysis of the child sexual abuse coverage of eight national news organizations in the United States from 2002 to 2012 includes the two dominant events of the Catholic Church and Pennsylvania State University child sexual abuse scandals. Census and systematic stratified sampling techniques were applied to articles obtained from the Lexis/Nexis Academic database, resulting in a sample of 503 articles. Intercoder reliability was ensured by double coding a randomly selected sample. Study findings indicate a shift in the attribution of responsibility of child sexual abuse among news organizations over the past decade from an individual-level problem with individual-level solutions to a societal-level problem with institutional culpability. Nevertheless, individual-level solutions continue to be framed as the best possible solution.
新闻媒体报道儿童性虐待的方式会影响公众认知。这项对2002年至2012年美国八家全国性新闻机构关于儿童性虐待报道的内容分析，涵盖了天主教会和宾夕法尼亚州立大学儿童性虐待丑闻这两大主要事件。采用人口普查和系统分层抽样技术，从Lexis/Nexis学术数据库获取文章，最终得到503篇文章的样本。通过对随机抽取的样本进行双重编码来确保编码员间的可靠性。研究结果表明，在过去十年中，新闻机构对儿童性虐待责任归属的认知发生了转变，从认为这是一个需个体层面解决的个体问题，转变为认为这是一个存在机构罪责的社会层面问题。然而，个体层面的解决办法仍被视为最佳解决方案。
