Abstract:

A content analysis of U.S. newspapers over 10 years revealed that the issue of steroids in baseball was the result of accidental events slightly more than routine ones. While both news and sports reporters covered accidental events, the news reporters’ attention faded without government officials to adopt the issue and routinize the story.
