          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo Explorar el encuadre mediático sobre la obesidad infantil, individual o colectivo, de las noticias en los principales medios generalistas españoles. Método Análisis de una muestra de 132 noticias sobre obesidad infantil (agosto de 2016 a septiembre de 2018). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo sobre encuadre, medidas y causas del problema, y la influencia de la industria alimentaria en la elaboración de la noticia. Resultados El 47% de las noticias tuvieron un encuadre exclusivamente individual. Un 54% incluyeron como causas conductas relacionadas con la alimentación o el ejercicio físico. Un 29% de las medidas proponen favorecer un entorno saludable y un 27% son recomendaciones individuales. El encuadre fue individual en un 77% de las noticias en las que la industria influyó en su redacción. Conclusión La obesidad infantil se representa en la principal prensa española como un problema individual. Esta percepción mayoritaria puede condicionar el desarrollo y la implementación de políticas o intervenciones de salud pública.

            Escalating Coverage of Obesity in UK Newspapers: The Evolution and Framing of the “Obesity Epidemic” From 1996 to 2010

            Obesity is one of the fastest growing and most serious public health challenges facing the world in the 21st century. Correspondingly, over the past decade there has been increased interest in how the obesity epidemic has been framed by the media. This study offers the first large-scale examination of the evolution and framing of the obesity epidemic in UK newspapers, identifying shifts in news coverage about the causal drivers of and potential solutions to the obesity epidemic. Seven UK newspapers were selected and 2,414 articles published between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 2010 were retrieved from electronic databases using keyword searches. The thematic content of articles was examined using manifest content analysis. Over the 15-year period there was an increase in media reporting on obesity and in particular on childhood obesity. There was evidence of a trend away from a focus on individuals towards a greater level of reporting on societal solutions such as regulatory change, with the greatest shift in reporting occurring in mid-market and serious newspapers. Given that the media have a huge influence in shaping public opinion, this shift in reporting might be an early indicator to policymakers of a growing public discourse around a need for regulatory change to tackle the obesogenic environment.

              "We're Part of the Solution": Evolution of the Food and Beverage Industry's Framing of Obesity Concerns Between 2000 and 2012.

              We investigated how industry claim-makers countered concerns about obesity and other nutrition-related diseases in newspaper coverage from 2000, the year before the US Surgeon General's Call to Action on obesity, through 2012. We found that the food and beverage industry evolved in its response. The defense arguments were made by trade associations, industry-funded nonprofit groups, and individual companies representing the packaged food industry, restaurants, and the nonalcoholic beverage industry. Individual companies used the news primarily to promote voluntary self-regulation, whereas trade associations and industry-supported nonprofit groups directly attacked potential government regulations. There was, however, a shift away from framing obesity as a personal issue toward an overall message that the food and beverage industry wants to be "part of the solution" to the public health crisis.
