这项研究探讨了当地报纸报道的官方癌症集群调查在七个不同的社区。作者基于关于个人如何评估决策者公平性的社会心理学研究开发了潜在的编码模式。因此，分析的重点是新闻报道将科学权威描述为程序公正的程度，其中包括关系公平和声音。研究结果表明，大量的癌症集群新闻报道包括与公平程序方面一致的内容。作者还发现了大量内容，表明决策者应该“做更多的工作”来解决社区关注的问题。作者假设，这种内容也可能与程序正义有关。讨论解决了理论和实践中使用的额外的研究审查媒体描绘的科学权威的公平或不公平。
This study explores local newspaper coverage of official cancer cluster investigations in seven different communities. The authors developed the underlying coding schema based on social-psychological research about how individuals assess the fairness of decision makers. The analysis therefore focuses on the degree to which news coverage describes science authorities as being procedurally just, which includes relational fairness and voice. The findings suggest that a significant amount of cancer cluster news coverage includes content consistent with procedural aspects of fairness. The authors also found substantial content suggesting that decision makers should “do more” to address community concerns. The authors hypothesize that such content may also be relevant to procedural justice. The discussion addresses the theoretical and practical use of additional research examining the media portrayal of scientific authorities as fair or unfair.
