本研究考察了美国和英国报纸中社会工作的形象。使用全文文章的LEXIS-NEXIS数据库，20个构建周的样本随机抽取60个主要日报超过四年半的时间，产生399篇文章，其中提到了社会工作。在美国，对社会工作形象的评价基本上是正面的;在英国，负面评价多于正面评价。在这两个国家，有关儿童福利实践的报道比其他领域的报道更受欢迎。在社会工作者被描绘成专家、介绍方案创新或被描述为开展有趣的实践活动的故事中，最有可能出现社会工作者的正面形象。
This study examined the image of social work in newspapers in the United States and the United Kingdom. Using the LEXIS-NEXIS database of full text articles, a sample of 20 constructed weeks were randomly drawn from 60 major dailies over a four-and-a-half-year period, yielding 399 articles in which reference was made to social work. Ratings of the image of social work were largely positive in the USA; in the UK more stories had negative than positive ratings. In both countries stories about child welfare practice were rated more negatively than other fields. Positive images of the profession were most likely to occur in stories in which social workers were portrayed as experts, presented programme innovations, or were described as carrying out interesting practice activities.
