N2  - AIMS: To examine the possibilities for research into news reporting and its role in reflecting and informing public and political beliefs and action in relation to alcohol and drinking practices. METHOD: Studies on media and alcohol, focusing on the role of media in relation to alcohol consumption and drinking-related practices, policies and beliefs. RESULTS: Most research on alcohol and media has focused on either advertising or entertainment media content, rather than on news reporting and its wider social implications. CONCLUSION: The role of news reporting could usefully be widened. We offer a framework for analysing the role of news media in relation to public debate and practice with regard to alcohol and drinking.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
