Over Time

This paper explores people’s reception of and attitudes toward Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, originally published in 1962. Research was conducted entirely through the lens of The New York Times (NYT) articles ranging from before the book’s publication to the present. The articles vary heavily in perspective, representing a range of views towards Carson’s vilification of both the pesticide industry and general American attitudes regarding environmental conservation. Articles from NYT represent public opinion well because the chosen articles come from views representing a variety of sources (corporations, scientists, book reviewers, historians, etc.) and perspectives ranging from maximum support to open criticism of the book. When observed over time, research into these articles tells the story of the change in acceptance of Silent Spring – how it has reached its current state of reverence and influence. This paper comprehensively examines a variety of articles regarding Silent Spring and America’s environmental efforts, tracking the change of general attitudes over the 50 years since its publication.

Do mass media influence people's opinion of other countries? Using BERT, a deep neural network-based natural language processing model, we analyze a large corpus of 267,907 China-related articles published by The New York Times since 1970. We then compare our output from The New York Times to a longitudinal data set constructed from 101 cross-sectional surveys of the American public's views on China. We find that the reporting of The New York Times on China in one year explains 54% of the variance in American public opinion on China in the next. Our result confirms hypothesized links between media and public opinion and helps shed light on how mass media can influence public opinion of foreign countries.

Abstract Using agenda-setting theory, this study explores the effects of news sources on public opinion on the issue of the same-sex marriage over 10 years. It examines immediate substantive salience, immediate affective salience, cumulative substantive salience and cumulative affective salience of the news sources cited in news articles from The New York Times from 2003 to 2013 and compares the coverage to public opinion polls. Four findings merit notice. First, news sources with a clear standpoint had counter effects on public opinion. Second, the salience of news sources is as influential as the affective attribute salience of news sources on public opinion. Official sources had the power to influence public opinion the most. Thirdly, the influence of the media is stronger than the influence of news sources on influencing public opinion. Fourth, LGBTQ sources were the least used sources in the same-sex marriage coverage.
