Abstract
This study has examined the news framing of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 by African American newspapers publishing from U.S. metropolitan areas with large Black populations. Using a content analysis method on 351 stories published, this research has identified the use of five news frames in the news coverage of COVID-19 vaccines. A solution-oriented responsibility frame dominated the overall news coverage of the COVID-19 vaccine when the vaccination rate was relatively lower among the Black community.
