目的：考察三个在实现千年发展目标5(MDG 5)方面取得不同进展的国家对产妇保健的报道：孟加拉国(进展顺利)、卢旺达(取得进展，但没有进展)和南非(没有进展)。设计：我们分析了每个国家的主要英文报纸：孟加拉国的《每日星报》、卢旺达的《新时报/星期日泰晤士报》和南非的《星期日泰晤士报》。我们量化了从2008年1月1日到2013年3月31日发表的孕产妇健康文章的数量。我们对2010年10月1日至2013年3月31日发表的190篇文章的子集进行了内容分析。结果：孟加拉国的《每日星报》从2008年1月1日至2013年3月31日发表了579篇与孕产妇健康有关的文章，而卢旺达的《新时报》/《星期日泰晤士报》发表了342篇，南非的《星期日泰晤士报》发表了253篇。《每日星报》在倡导或提高对产妇健康的认识的报道中所占比例最高。《每日星报》(83%)和《新泰晤士报/星期日泰晤士报》(69%)上的大部分产妇保健文章都使用了人权或基于政策的框架，相比之下，《星期日泰晤士报》/《泰晤士报》上的这一比例为41%。结论：在这项研究中所包括的三个国家，在实现千年发展目标5的不同轨迹上，它们在报纸报道产妇保健的频率、语气和内容方面存在差异。然而，关于千年发展目标5的进展与媒体报道产妇保健的数量和类型之间的这种联系，无法得出任何因果结论。
Objective: To examine newspaper coverage of maternal health in three countries that have made varying progress towards Millennium Development Goal 5 (MDG 5): Bangladesh (on track), Rwanda (making progress, but not on track) and South Africa (no progress).Design: We analysed each country's leading national English-language newspaper: Bangladesh's The Daily Star, Rwanda's The New Times/The Sunday Times, and South Africa's Sunday Times/The Times. We quantified the number of maternal health articles published from 1 January 2008 to 31 March 2013. We conducted a content analysis of subset of 190 articles published from 1 October 2010 to 31 March 2013.Results: Bangladesh's The Daily Star published 579 articles related to maternal health from 1 January 2008 to 31 March 2013, compared to 342 in Rwanda's The New Times/The Sunday Times and 253 in South Africa's Sunday Times/The Times over the same time period. The Daily Star had the highest proportion of stories advocating for or raising awareness of maternal health. Most maternal health articles in The Daily Star (83%) and The New Times/The Sunday Times (69%) used a 'human-rights' or 'policy-based' frame compared to 41% of articles from Sunday Times/The Times.Conclusions: In the three countries included in this study, which are on different trajectories towards MDG 5, there were differences in the frequency, tone and content of their newspaper coverage of maternal health. However, no causal conclusions can be drawn about this association between progress on MDG 5 and the amount and type of media coverage of maternal health.
