%X The present investigation reports the results of a content analysis of U.S. newspaper portrayals of the 1990 earthquake prediction by Dr. Iben Browning. Results suggest that journalists wrote stories which readers may have interpreted as advocating a belief in Browning's prediction. Specifically, news stories were found to be more subjective than object, and more supportive than critical, of both Iben Browning and his theory.   <p>Language: en</p>
