1985年，五次国际性的“自然”灾害在美国得到了重要的印刷新闻媒体的报道。对这五场灾难的选定印刷新闻媒体报道进行了内容分析。所谓的因果关系的证据，描述和解释这些灾害的“客观”现实进行了评估的解释因素，主题，框架和价值假设的基础媒体的分析和“建设”这些事件的“自然”灾害的主观选择。对美国印刷新闻媒体对这些灾害的报道进行的分析表明，这些报道强调这些事件的戏剧性、描述性、气候学或地质学性质，而不是强调人类行为或不行为在这些灾害发展中的作用的因果解释。印刷新闻媒体把这些事件“构建”为“自然”灾害，尽管有明确的证据表明它们是自然和人类的混合起源。
In 1985, five international 'natural' disasters received prominent print news media coverage in the United States. Content analyses of selected print news media accounts of these five disasters were conducted. The purported evidence of alleged cause-effect relationships describing and explaining these disasters as 'objective' realities was evaluated in the light of the subjective selection of explanatory factors, themes, frameworks, and value assumptions which underlie the media's analysis and 'construction' of these events as 'natural' disasters. Analysis of the American print news media coverage of these disasters indicated an emphasis upon the dramatic, descriptive, climatological or geological qualities of these events rather than upon causal explanations emphasizing the role of human acts or omissions in the development of these disasters. The print news media 'constructed' these events as 'natural' disasters despite clear evidence of their hybrid, natural-human origins.
