Distracted Driving
项目名称: Distracted Driving
摘要: States are proposing many pieces of legislation to address distracted driving. Much of this legislation has focused on increased penalties to deter offenders. The extent to which media have contributed to the emphasis on penalties requires closer examination. This study will examine how print media socially constructs the distracted driving problem and any limitations associated with this perspective that inhibits public understanding of the issue and detracts from support of potentially long-term, effective solutions to reduce the problem. The project will conduct a qualitative/quantitative content media analysis which can pinpoint any information gaps that can lead to distorted perceptions about the nature, extent, and context of distracted driving as a social problem and support for less effective solutions.
